Threads after threads after threads on here:
Dog ownership should be regulated; breeders should be licenced; breeding should be illegal unless you have a licence to do so and commit to vetting your owners; we should bring back the dog licence; it is irresponsible to have a dog if you're going to work full time/not treck across the wilderness for at least half of your waking day/aren't prepared to put in the training... etc etc etc.
But dare to suggest that there are people out there who shouldn't have children and apparently this is wrong because that would be against their basic human rights.
Suggest that someone cshouldn't have another baby if they can't afford it/don't live in a big enough house and you will be branded unfeel/uncaring/not understanding of someone's need to reproduce.
By law if you mistreat your animals you can be banned from having any more.
But abuse your children and you can keep having them and SS will evaluate on a child by child basis whether or not you will be allowed to keep it.
I do not condone the mistreatment of animals by any means.
But I think that a lot of people seem to have lost all sense of perspective...

AIBU?
To think it says a lot about our society when it seems people are more concerned about regulating dog ownership than offending someone's right to have children!
