mouse breeders always try to act high and mighty when compared to rodent mills.... when theyre the exact same. sure, they might put more thought into genetic lines, coat traits, and personality. but at the end of the day they are still making an animal reproduce so they can profit from it.

#just saw a really annoying rant from an arrogant breeder about how 'a repuatable breeder has many goals for each litter'#yeah. as in. how much money each mouse would bring them. the potential for more breeding stock. the notoriety a particular #coat color would bring.#you are not special just because you do it in your basement.#you are the exact same as a rodent mill #mouseblr #yes i am planning on breeding mice eventually to get my own preferred coat traits and colors and because #there are no mouse breeders anywhere in northern new england. at all.#but am i gonna act like im better than a petstore if i ever sell the mice i dont want to keep?#no.#because i know im still a breeder. im still bringing those lives into the world for my own gain.#whether i sell them or not i am still creating them for myself #and 99% of mouse breeders try to act like they arent the same. when you are. you literally are.#youre charging $60 per mouse not even including transport fees or securing your spot on the waitlist #youre doing it for yourself.#get off your high horse #adopt dont shop #stop breeding
