However with Mr. Hunte filling the market place with all these puppies, don't you think that he is a very big reason that we have so many ARO's coming down on us? If Hunte didn't flood the market place with all these puppies, then there would be less puppies/dogs in shelters, less dogs/puppies being put down needlessly. Hunte is "one" of the reasons that the ARO's are thriving. Janet Anyone who knows me, knows that I do NOT support this Hunte situation. That said, the majority of animals in shelters are from mom & pop breeders aka BYB's. ARO's do not care plain and simple. Their goal is not to reduce shelter over population, it is to eliminate animal companionship and use in any way shape or form. Total extinction is their goal. But yes, Hunte and the PM's he buys from are the poster children for ARO's.
