<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

After seeing [this post] and [this post]  I have this to throw in:

Having been a long-term employee at a pet store I've seen a lot of irresponsible dog owners so I heartily agree that most shelters' requirements for adoption are completely sensible but up until recently the local SPCA in my area had RIDICULOUS requirements for adopting an animal ( [context] ).   I have also observed a strong uptick in irresponsible local breeding practices in places that I will call "mini puppy-mills" in recent years.  These dogs are bred by folks who are likely well-meaning or may just be trying to make a buck by raising and selling animals in a home environment sans the horrific shit we see in the media concerning puppy mills.  Some of them are a case of simply being naive in the "Oh boy, wouldn't it be fun to have a litter of puppies/kittens/critters in the house and we can even make money by selling them!!!" sorta way.  But these same people follow terrible breeding practices just like the puppy mills: not breeding for proper temperament, intentionally breeding animals with hereditary diseases/health problems/deformities because higher volume of 'product' = $$$ and loss of breeding stock by following standards = -$ in the short term (hey, I didn't say they were bright or knew good financial planning).  

I can't help wondering if some shelters having standards which are too high are the cause of this sort of behavior in my area and may even cause more animals to come in to their own organization because a lot of these unprofessional home breeders have no standards and do not vet their buyers as well as a good breeder or a rescue.  

Seems like shelters with standards too high or just standards in general help to create a black market or 'grey' market for low-quality animals. This will probably piss off some of the libertarians here but I would be in favor of legislation which imposes sensible breeding practices and would require anyone wishing to breed and sell dogs to meet a minimum set of standards and have their animal screened for hereditary issues before breeding. Your thoughts?
<bot>: Wondering if ridiculously high standards or even mediocre standards has caused an increase in badly bred animals in my area and others.  If so, how could this be dealt with?
