I am lumping all the rescues and shelters that don't believe people who should have animals they rescue or shelter in that category.

I know there are plenty of shelters and rescues out there that do good, and I generally support their policy of not putting the animals they take in back into breeding situations if that is what they want for them. (Though it seems that it wouldn't be practically enforceable for the most part)

I know that the "hate the breeder" mentality is all the rage at these places, and that is something that will probably never change. Sure there are sleazebags who breed animals and take poor to no care of them, and there are plenty of slimy folks out there who try to sell animals with the "It will never outgrow its tank" stuff, but really, its just as much the person who purchases the animals fault that they have gotten into whatever they have, if not more.

I hear all about "spur of the moment" purchases, and "they didn't tell me that at the shop" but really in today's day and age, many of the people who say these things have phones that put search engines like google at their fingertips, and places like kingsnake.com are more assessable then they ever were. They are just to lazy or too thick to bother, or to busy texting.

I definitely think that the reptile & parrot rescues that think people should not breed parrots or reptiles animals or in the long term own these animals are absolutely a bunch of overstuffed high on themselves hypocrites who have no place owning or working with these animals if they really believe the crap the peddle. They have lost sight of reality.

And that is exactly the kind of thick minded individuals that are cozies right up to the non factual garbage spewed from the mouths of the HSUS & PETA spokesmorons, who are all about pusing the agenda to make it so no one can legally keep or breed any animals.
