All dog breeders should be stabbed multiple times in their office

OK, I know everyone who reads this is going to vote for it as being unhelpful. And I know the show has a light-hearted tone that is infectious -- however, there's nothing lighthearted in dog-breeding, which leads to a lot of misery and dead dogs in shelters. The episode is well done and the characters continue to be engaging. Except for the subject matter (again, I know it's all in fun), this outing is pretty good. It's just that there are not enough homes for all the dogs now and there's no need to be breeding more, even if the over-the-top chain-breeding conglomerate wasn't meant to be taken at all seriously. End of lecture.
