Why I love pet talk.

Maybe even a worse scenario would eventuate as the shelter's would become full, they are now even,so you can imagine the end result.

And if breeders can't sell their pigs to pet stores because no ones buying from pet stores, then they'd send them to a rescue anyways..right?

No they would stop breeding them. They aren't breeding for the sake of breeding they are breeding for money. By sending them to shelters they aren't making money. Sometimes shelters even charge a fee to drop the animals off so they would be loosing money.

If you leave the animals in the pet store the same thing goes, they will stop breeding if people stop buying.

I don't think message boards should be bashing you for already owning those animals though. There are alot of people here who have got their animals from byb's and pet stores and some people who still do and they don't get bashed.

I can only speak about pet stores in NZ, they are not all from breeders here, they take them to the pet shop, and i don't know if they are even given any money for them, most of them are from people who just have not bothered to spay their animals, we do of course have some pedigree's as well, and they are specifically bred to sell too, but a majority are just as i have mentioned, so that won't stop people letting their cats and dogs breed i am afraid.
