Often these litters are for financial gain, and not in the animals' best interest. I see the faces of dogs in shelters waiting for caring homes. I have to agree that breeding for profit is the worse offense of all. Whenever I look through the pet section it sickens me to see photos of litters of pups.

There was no intentional breeding going on. These are animals dumped in night boxes with litters or who are pregnant. Overpopulation is overpopulation, be it breeding for profit or non-profits "rescuing" pups. Is any dog's life more noble than the others?

Without naming soures, commentary such as this just is vague gossip -- it isn't news and isn't journalism by any means. Are the people who state that "people who foster pups add to problem" themselves involved in and profiting from the sale of puppies somehow? I have to wonder. Is the dog community so in-bred and touchy that the individuals can't be named? What's up with THAT? Over-population is caused by breeding, period. And breeding for profit is the worst offense of all. (The Press Democrat isn't helping by running ads for puppies for sale). Who, precisely, is making these allegations?
