It is not fair to do this, but I can pick anything out from the report. It reads, "Dog Pool Size is out of control". It also states that, leaving emotion out of it, too many dogs are being bred. As a result, they end up being culled because too many are being bred, or they are exported. It is there in black and white. It reads, "Leaving aside emotions with respect to the culling of dogs [this is from a business point of view], from a 'Lean' perspective it is simply very wasteful to invest in so many pups and to get so little out of them in return". I will be in trouble for repeating the language, "getting little out of pups", but even on a financial level, it is there in black and white.
