We have no right to bring domesticated animals into existence so that they can be ‘ #pets.’ We ought to take care of the domesticated #animals that are here now, we should not bring any more into existence.

For every #puppy or #kitten who is produced by any breeder, an animal awaiting adoption at an animal shelter loses his or her chance at finding a home—and will be euthanized. Breeders kill shelter animals’ chance to have a life.

Since virtually no breeders require animals they sell to be spayed or neutered, these animals can soon have litters of their own, further exacerbating the overpopulation crisis and denying homes to animals who already need them.

In fact, #purebreds make up at least 25 percent of the dogs in animal shelters. Virtually any breed of dog can be found in a shelter or in a breed-rescue group.

Many fail to recognize that no matter how kindly a #breeder treats animals, as long as #dogs and #cats are dying in animal shelters and pounds because of a lack of homes, no breeding can be considered “responsible.”

All breeders fuel the animal overpopulation crisis, and every time someone purchases an animal instead of adopting from an animal shelter, homeless animals lose their chance of finding a home—and will be euthanized.

Many breeders don’t require every puppy or kitten to be spayed or neutered prior to purchase, so the animals they sell can soon have litters of their own,

creating even more animals to fill homes that could have gone to animals from shelters—or who will end up in animal shelters or so-called “no-kill” animal warehouses themselves.

Simply put, for every animal who is deliberately produced by any breeder, an animal in an animal shelter dies.

Producing animals for sale is a greedy and callous business in a world in which there is a critical and chronic shortage of good homes for animals.

Every animal adopted or fostered is one more life saved and that means everything to that one animal. Remember, the animals we love are no different from the ones we eat. Go vegan🌱
