"Pet breeding" is an industry that has accumulated a history of cruelty and selection for traits that are unhealthy for the animals that are born.

It is more ethical to adopt from a shelter or home an otherwise homeless animal than support an industry that is geared more to create sale-able commodities than healthy individuals who will have the best chance of a healthy life, a tendency that often cooccurs with over breeding and traumatizing conditions.
