So if we take $10,000 from Hunte ...... who is a broker who brings puppies in across the border and sells puppies en masse via semi trucks from who knows WHAT kind of facility......but has "clean facilities" himself, then in theory, we, who support the goal of RALEEF on fighting Legislation that is trying to shut down every small breeder and dog owner could not speak out against Hunte and the way he sells puppies as livestock or the latest shipment of a "product".........right?? If you accept $10,000 from Hunte....whom would you turn down?? WHO will go to check on the puppy mill that doesn't have "clean facilities" that may want to donate $5,000? AND.....if there is an expose on a terrible puppy mill that supplies some of the "products" ( i.e. puppies ) to Hunte, and we have climbed in bed with Hunte for $10,000 who sells their "products" by the semi truck load ...then RALEEF becomes a REASON for more legislation to shut down breeders. If we can no longer breed or own dogs, he will not fall into the same category as he brings puppies in from somewhere else..right? HE is......ta da....a BROKER!!! Not a backyard BREEDER! Now which one sounds the most "sterile" if THAT is all that matters, instead of the mind and heart of the puppies and the family that buys them? Bringing in Semi truckloads of puppies to sell, and transporting them to sell at AKC shows or wherever.......well.... facilities at home would be VERY clean, since all puppies would come from somewhere else..... that just might not be so clean.
