Nikki- I can't hold it in anymore. I feel so terrible about your breeding rights possibly being restricted in the state where you live. My heart bleeds tears for you, you poor woman. You breed, therefore you contribute to the overpopulation problem, when thousands upon thousands of animals are euthanized every darn day because of.......OVERBREEDING! Just so you can have your purebred. Try to explain that to the litter of 6-week old (purebred) puppies that were dropped off at the local SPCA and were all euthanized last week. Tell them why they weren't worth saving. I understand individual needs for breeding (overall health, allergies to certain types of pets, etc., etc., etc.) and know that there will be a lot of people upset by my statement, but its how I feel. Anyone can flame me, I assure you I know how to use my delete button, and frankly don't give a rat's heiney if you agree or disagree. -- Jennifer Kovacsi and the excellent eight [Posted in FML 5545]
