One would think the pet overpopulation problem is 100% the fault of breeders, for encouraging the pets in their charge to have multiple litters repeatedly.

But no, that is not the entire root of the problem. Breeders are the effect of the problem, and the massive pet overpopulation is the aftermath.

Yes, breeders, as a whole, are breeding more litters than there are homes for, and yes, some of them can be greedy, and overbreed. There are puppy mills in which the females literally churn out dozens of puppies in their lifetime.

The ones that can’t be sold are often dumped on the side of the road. Likewise, during an economic downturn, like now, when people are not willing to pay $2000 for a designer puppy, they are dumping them. They can’t afford to feed them once they get part about three to five months.

Why are breeders selling puppies or kittens for that kind of money when there’s a worldwide pet overpopulation problem?

Because we live in a society of instant gratification, designer accessories, and endless entertainment.

Because people do not look at the purchase of a puppy or kitten as a serious life long commitment, a 15 year marriage, til death do one or the other of you part.

Puppies and kittens are so cute, most are purchased on impulse. Who could, after all, resist that cute little face?

People often choose a specific breed on looks along, rather than temperament, health issues, habits, daily needs and lifestyle, and then when any of these things clash with their own personal ones, they kick the pet out of their life like it is a football, without a backward glance.

How many of you reading this article know someone, including yourself, who has purchased a dog or cat, only later to “get rid” of it for reasons you didn’t anticipate.

How many of you, yourself included, know of people who have rescued their pet, often a ‘designer’ breed that commanded thousands of dollars as a puppy, but could barely even be given away as an adult?
