Irresponsible owners kill shelter dogs, not breeders. If owners paid more attention to socializing and training their dogs, they would not wind up in shelters or rescues. I do rescue and the main reason owners relinquish their dogs are for training and behavioral issues. Or, the one that really gets to me "we just had a baby and don't want the dog around the baby." Or, "our new apartment complex doesn't allow pets." Would you have moved there if the apartment complex didn't allow children? There are hundreds of other reasons but it all comes down to irresponsible owners.
Get at the heart of why people give up their dogs and work on that problem instead of pointing fingers and trying to place blame.
