What people are trying to say is that by you buying to save that animal they see that animal sells. So they in turn get another one and then somebody like you comes around and buys, so then they get another and another and another.

At least with a breeder you're supporting a local business and not a corporate business. You also get a healthier animal and then you know what sex you're getting.
