More "agents" more taxes more fees? No thanks, don't hang the legitimate dog enthusiast for the crimes of some jerks... it it is so, it makes it NO different than punishing ALL breeders for the crimes of puppy mills. Very few legitimate breeders import dogs. But, there are a lot of dogs being brought in by unscrupulous breeders, expecially from Mexico. As Spock said when he tried to fix the engines, (was that the Flux Capacitor?), "The good of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Or something close to that. Of course, then he died. So, maybe his ideas were not that valid. But, then the Genisis program brought him back to life. So, perhaps it was all good.
