@DownMoreThanUp I am sorry that your feelings were hurt. I didn't specifically call you anything other than a backyard breeder, which unless you are registered, you are.
I was triggered by you bringing up a verse to support your beliefs which I mentioned previously as this has been done to me before. Unfortunately I lived with a person for 8 years who used to use scripture as an excuse to make me feel bad. She was not the only one. So for you to bring up scripture to support your desire to breed your dogs was a trigger to me.
It has taken me 3 years to get over the trauma and destruction caused by my former friend. Seeing that scripture sent me back 3 years ago when I was first devastated by ex friend.
I wanted you to see my point as to why I have my beliefs, I went too far. If everyone were like you and bred your animals responsibly we wouldn't need the laws.
As the saying goes, the squeakiest gate gets the most attention so the "bad" breeders are the ones that make laws necessary. My cat Mal is proof that backyard breeding can be a terrible thing. He was lucky, he was rescued as a kitten. Other animals are not so lucky.
I still believe that all animals must be sterilised unless you are a breeder, that will never change. Just like I supported the end of tail docking. I don't understand why you would want your dog to have its tail removed unless it was necessary for the dogs' health.
I did wonder why you brought up innocent people being incarcerated, however. That really had nothing to do with dog breeding.
We need laws, otherwise society disintegrates.
We are bound first by God's laws. Where would we be without them?
Again, sorry if your feelings were hurt. I will not apologise for being a strong and vocal advocate for animals however. You are lucky you haven't experienced animal abuse like I have. Like anything awful, it can have a negative effect on a person.
May you have a blessed weekend.
