I agree with Ginger -- if we have such an over population issue here, why IMPORT more? Sounds totally absurd.

Due to "overpopulation" breeding is totally banned in Denver.... and yet their shelters are remarkably still full (and not with purebreds I might add). And then they import dogs from out of the country? This is just wrong. What about all the dogs here that supposedly need saving? Or do they not count?
