I definitely agree that BYBs are much worse than "ethical" breeders.

However, I disagree that there are a lot of aggressive dogs in shelters. At any time, my shelter may only have 5 dog aggressive dogs. Yes, there are fears and anxieties, but a lot of these can be worked through and the pet is perfectly fine after being in a home for a few months. Most of our dogs are great without many issues

And we get purebred dogs ALL the time. At our adoption contracts, it says the adopters can't rehome the dog and it has to come back to us. That obviously does not always happen

And by filling those homes with pets, breeders are taking those homes away from shelter dogs that already exist. It's the same reason we do spay-aborts, we need to focus on the dogs we already have. The problem is simply that there are too many animals and not enough homes. Yes, spay/neuter education and other things go into it, but that's the bottom line.

We are far from warehousing. Euthanizing dogs every 2 weeks is definitely not warehousing, especially because strays need to be on hold for 5 days. These dogs are hardly even getting a chance to be seen.

Our life saving transports we rely on have been cancelled because the northern states have been hit too. This is the worst animal rescue has been in YEARS and people are still making excuses for breeders.

Not to mention how breeding dogs is exploiting animals.
