That may be the case in Louisiana, but not everywhere. Here in Illinois, there is no sales tax exemption for hobbies, and if you sell stuff retail, you have to collect sales tax. Period.

From the Department of Revenue website:

Do you sell merchandise at fairs, festivals, flea markets, or craft shows?
If so, you are a retailer and you must collect and pay Illinois sales taxes. Whether this is a full-time business or a hobby, you are subject to the Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax.
Must I register with the Department of Revenue if I sell items only at these special events?
Yes. All Illinois business taxpayers, whether they are Illinois residents or not, must register with us for each tax type that they will collect or for any tax they are required to pay.
I also have a business license in Wisconsin, and there are only limited exemption for small/occasional sales (which I might meet today, but not in the past). Depending on how many/what quality animals a breeder is producing, it looks like it could be easy to blow through that limit:
