And when a major area does that, it creates a shortage of a desired "good", which raises prices on available "good" and encourages profiteers to "create" more of that "good" and bring it in from elsewhere or sell it nearby.
In other words, laws meant to prevent puppy mills will actually create them and justify their business model.
No sir, don't like it. Not one bit.

We also have laws about keeping livestock and farm animals on our own property. Is that too busybody as well?
You CAN breed in Long Beach, you just need a breeding permit and a decent facility. But, urban areas are dot the best places to breed dogs. You can get most any type of breed from a reputable breeder within 50 miles.
This city does not need more dogs when the shelters are full and animals are being killed regularly.
