    ??? Breeders are entirely home businesses, not giant corporations. People buying pets from breeders do it for entertainment, not survival like food, shelter, or healthcare.

    We can criticize people that buy instead of first attempting to adopt in the same way we can criticize someone who beats their dog.

        You said, “shaming the general population for misconduct of certain people.” Then you talked about corporate boot lickers.

        This isn’t about giant corporations. This is about people who buy pets from breeders instead of adopting. The people who buy from breeders are the problem. There’s no evil corporation behind it.

          You are missing the point i was making. That shiti article glosses over the crimes committed by breeders and buyers while attempting to socialize the risk and negative externalities on the general public. You should do more to save the animals, this is tour problem

          Same way corps do, which was my original premise for comprison.

          No, breeders and buyers either need to be taxed out of existence or just outright banned.

          You want a dog, go to shelter and pay for it. Fuck you and your stupid hobby that’s causing suffering along with huge financial costs to society at large.
