| Re: Why can't breeders breed and rescue?
And I've euthanized and helped euthanize dogs and cats that didn't have homes. I am involved with my local humane societies and I understand what happens that the public doesn't have to see of deal with. I still believe in responsible dog breeding. I still think that some day we will see better standards more often when it comes to spaying/neutering/breeding. I want to be able to find a pet that I know has a much higher of being healthy if I so choose. I don't want to push my ideas on others, but rather help them understand and adopt them as their own.
And the exotic animal vet I used to work with said that unfortunately, rats have very high likelihood of cancer. Maybe groups can start to get money to fund more research starting with surveys to see the biggest problems in their breed, then take the top couple on the list and see where they come from and how to prevent them. Wouldn't that be something? |
