Jan as usual you are right. They are already talking about "backyard breeding" of horses and that is how the PM situation started for dogs.. Now it is horses and next it will be cows, and then goats, and then ect.... That is why it is so important for them to get these laws passed, because if they can cap the amount of one animal they can cap them all and then lower the cap.

Ecclesiastes 9:4 "For him that is joined to all living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion."

We need Responsible Dog laws that punish the Irresponsible owner and not any breed.

Easy fix.. why not limit the amount of "intact" horses one can own to
...oh... say 1... JUST KIDDING.. but I was thinking about the "intact limit"
this morning and wonder why it is not applied to ALL animals.. why should
someone have 50 cows.. 50 horses,, 50 pigs.. fifty sheep.. 50 goats.. all
intact and capable of reproducing.. .why are dogs and cats "different"? is
this an agruement we can use against "numbers vs. care"? If a person
produces dogs .. or cats .. for sale.. and they are licensed and
inspected... then why a cap on how many they can own.. if it is their
livelihood then how can you take that from them?
JaNd
Looks like from the articles coming up that "indiscriminate breeding" of
horses is up next...for some sort of cap..

Problems related to unwanted horses are perceived to be growing, with more
than 90% of respondents to a recent survey indicating that the number of
abused, neglected and unwanted horses is increasing, according to the
Unwanted Horse Coalition, which commissioned the survey.

The coalition said 87% of respondents said the issue is now "a big problem,"
compared with 22% who believed that three years ago.
