No, Connie. What that means if the truckloads of animals that are being trucked in from other states. Sometimes they are for petstores from dog farms (commercial breeders, this isn't meant to be derogatory, I just know that they are raising stock,so call it like it is..sheep ranches, cattle ranches, dog farms). And some of the trucking is a good thing. If there is a state with an overabundance of abandoned animals, and another state that can place them, fine. Just have correct statistics. And the carloads smuggled in from Mexico and now Asia, and the imports from out of the country to rescues. If the rescues do that, have them account for it, and if the imports end up in shelters, be accountable and get them out...have a means of identifying as they want home breeders to do. More........
