Nearly all regulated breeders are those who breed animals for lab "supplies". Estimates range upward of 100,000 dogs alone used in experiments annually. Most die and must be replaced, so that gives an idea of how profitable it is to breed dogs for research labs. Cats, rabbits, and a host of other animals suffer the same horrific fate.
Pet breeders as a whole, nationwide, are virtually unregulated. Puppy and kitten mills are largely hidden. So-called "responsible" breeders are ignored by virtue of their claim of being responsible. The fact is that all breeding must stop, and it has to begin with "lab animals" because they suffer. They suffer in ways you and I cannot imagine. (And yes, there are ample alternatives!) As for "pet breeding", we should adopt one until there are none. Millions of pets are killed each year for just one reason -- they are homeless. There's something truly demented in that.
As Trump his Insanity Battalion continue destroying every rule and regulation they can find, we must be vigilant. It's impossible for one person to fight it all, so find your passion, find your place in the resistance, and join in.
[Edited to add the "one" regarding the reason pets are killed.]
