Many breeders are more interested in profit than the health of the animals. Having and enforcing standards to protect the health and wellness of the animals is necessary. Health of the dogs, health of the puppies, prevention of health issues by not allowing inbreeding, limiting litters so that the parents can heal and have a good quality of life, breeders being registered, proper vet care, not allowing pets to be dumped afterwards, vetting buyers and homes to prevent bad people from buying or adopting under false pretenses and then mistreating the animals, therefore enabling a cycle of cruelty and neglect.
D supported: Protect Dogs in NC: Enforce Breeder Licensing and Health StandardsI worked at my local municipal shelter. It was considered a no-kill shelter yet we still had to euthanize because sickness or injury or behavior due to being stray or owner surrendered. Breeding needs to stop. The amount of pets that get euthanized every single day in the UNITED STATES is absolutely TERRIBLE, GUT WRENCHING AND ABSURD. DO BETTER AMERICA!! Make this legislation federal!!!
Bailey supported: Implement Strict Federal Breeding Laws to Enhance Responsible Dog OwnershipMy foster dog is a 100% American Bully abandoned at our local shelter. He is the result of overpopulation due to backyard breeders. I love and adore him but he shouldn’t have been bred. His breeders should be held responsible!
Kathleen supported: Implement Strict Federal Breeding Laws to Enhance Responsible Dog OwnershipAll breeders don't have the true welfare of the pups and dogs in mind. Some see them as a tool....a way to cash in.... they don't care for them. I saw this first hand at an Amish farm in Honeybrook, PA. Dogs were NOT cared for. One dog running around outside of the kennel enclosure was swallowing a long piece of plastic! I gently pulled it from its mouth/throat so it would not choke. Dogs in so-called outside kennels stood on what I thought was chain-linked fencing so their paws would be very uncomfortable and damaged. It was pathetic. It would make anyone cry.
Ruthie supported: Implement Strict Federal Breeding Laws to Enhance Responsible Dog OwnershipI've seen the kind of environments the current laws have created. And I say as many have before me.
Never again.
Joseph supported: Implement Strict Federal Breeding Laws to Enhance Responsible Dog OwnershipMy family has always adopted/ rescued our fur companions. It’s sad to see the irreparable damage that breeding without proper veterinary care can cause in such innocent creatures. Our most recent companion 3PO was rescued from breeders in a parking lot. She was obviously not from the same litter compared to the other pups and was huddled in a corner depressed. After questioning the breeders, their only response was “no one wants her bc she’s ugly and the runt”. Not only that but they cropped her tail down to 1/2 an inch when she’s a POODLE mix. I can’t imagine what they would’ve done, had we not taken her in since they weren’t making profit from her. These kind of situations are why breeders need to be held accounted for.
Junias supported: Implement Strict Federal Breeding Laws to Enhance Responsible Dog OwnershipI have two pit bulls that have been victims of breading. One was used for breading and had three litters. This hurt her health and ability to live a normal life. Breading illegally is inhumane and morally wrong.
Payten supported: Implement Strict Federal Breeding Laws to Enhance Responsible Dog OwnershipHumans should not have the power to just breed and sell dogs to then discard them. Dogs are living beings with feelings like us and should be PROTECTED. It’s sad and wrong something needs to be done.
