Buying from breeders versus Rescuing A Pet Part 5

It is a sad fact: the vast majority of people who adopt a puppy or kitten, do not keep the animal for life.

If this trend were to be reversed, and most people actually kept their pets in a responsible manner through the good times and the bad, as they do their own children, the demand for new puppies would go down. If they spayed and neutered their animals, the number of unwanted pets would also go down,

With less of a demand, breeders would not breed as many litters, certainly not in the atrocious conditions of a puppy mill. Breeders are only breeding as many litters as they do, because people are buying them.

The demand for a cute little puppy or kitten is great, because people do not keep the animal for life. If a breeder had a litter and could not sell the puppies, they would not keep having litter after litter.

People are buying them, and paying top dollar for them, so breeders are breeding them. In a perfect world, breeders would breed less, in a much more controlled environment, and force people to adopt from an animal rescue.

But this is not a perfect world. The solution lies with the general public educating themselves as to what exactly is involved with each pet they get. Whether dog or cat, the animal has particular needs throughout its life, and if you are their human, you are responsible for those needs.

The power lies within each and every one of us. So what can we do?
