Instances where I think it is acceptable to purposefully breed dogs and cats are cases where the animal is being sought after for a particular trait that would be used for a service. It is also acceptable to me that dogs are bred to diversify the gene pool for companion pets and keep them healthy, but at this point we have so many dogs that its not necessary. I dont find the argument that people are seeking certain temperaments or personalities to be particularly relevant. I can understand not wanting to adopt a dog or cat that is grown and has issues or could potentially have issues, but its a moot point when there are puppies and kittens easily available.People who seek certain breeds of cats or dogs simply for the appearance or because theyve applied some trait or idea to them that makes them attractive (but not pertinent to their actual life or needs) are selfish and/or shortsighted and part of the reason there are countless homeless animals and animals that have to be put down.Hello, users of CMV!
