Oh great, I'm glad to know that I'm no longer middle class because I don't make six figures.
I realize that the value of money has gone to shit, but a single person doesn't need six figures to be middle class.
So could the CIA, NSA, FBI or any of the 20 or 30 Intelligence/enforcement agencies in the US government.
What is to say that this hasn't already happened and everything we have seen has been... "just as planned."
Oh look at me! I can speculate too!
No, reputable breeders would likely need to move out of the city.
"Pet Stores" which actually sell larger animals generally get their "purebreds" from puppy mills which are about the most horrible thing you can find.The animals are rarely actual purebreds. The Animals are treated terribly. Conditions are awful. They rarely receive the health care they need.
Reputable breeders don't sell their animals to people who will resell them. Some breeders actually make you sign a contract to give/sell them the dog back if you can't take care of it.
Jesus Christ. Did you not read my post? Was the sarcasm of my post that subtle?
"Purebred" is quite obviously in scare quotes. Mostly to denote that pet shop "Purebreds" tend to be from puppy mills and aren't usually purebreds at all.
People will need to drive outside the city limits now.
It would be nice if we could eliminate puppy mills and get more people to adopt or buy from good reputable breeders that actually take care of their animals.
This isn't the way to do it, and people still ignore shelter pets which need homes so they can get a "purebred" dog which is safer than some shelter mutt.
If God had not given us sticky tape, it would have been necessary to invent it.
