Ok first off lets get something squared away, any rescue person that is ethically pursuing helping those in need would be offended by being coined animal rights.
Animal Welfare is what we practice not rights.I already have my right, I have the right to place that dog or keep it or kill it, that is my right, but I do not have the right to set in stone what all of you will practice based on my own personal beliefs.
I do however have the right to decide the welfare of animals that are physically in my care. That would be the diff. HSUS hasnt one shelter operating anywhere and try to throw that Welfare word around as if they practice it.
Breeders are only a small part of the big problem. You have so many other factors that weigh in such as insurance companies, home owner associations, population explosions, the list goes on and on.
And what about those shelters? Most shelters that are contracted to provide animal services to the public are paid to do so by each city and then you have to pay them for licensing and rabies and fines etc.
If they are a for profit organization which most are, they too should be responsible for keeping up with at least the population increase by stepping up their services by using the money they get paid.
just my take but pretty accurate
