Is No More Homeless Pets in Utah trying to put pet stores and breeders out of business?
A. While we do take issue with the practices of many pet stores and breeders, we know that there are those who are reputable. However, in order to achieve the goal of ending euthanasia of homeless dogs and cats in Utah, it is necessary to aggressively promote adoption of animals from sources working to solve the problem of pet overpopulation. Because there are a finite number of good homes available to any animal, consumers can choose not to add to the demand supplied by breeders and puppy mills by choosing to open their homes to shelter pet. Taking away the demand for more puppies and kittens, will also begin to eliminate much of the irresponsible, careless, and inhumane breeding that is contributing to the tragedy of pet overpopulation.
