Dittos. No matter what type of animal it is, "backyard breeders" are in it purely for the most profit in the shortest amount of time. And that's with disregard to the care and well-being of the animals at hand and to the future of the particular species itself.

In Catalina, AZ just up the road from us Pima Animal Control and the Pima County Sheriff's department raided a property with over 700 dogs on the premises. They were breeding them for dog fighting.
