Untitled
The section entitled ==Pets which have appeared on Petkeeping== should be removed as unverifiable vanity information. Not making the changes myself at this time pending discussion of this active article. --Frondelet 16:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Controversy section
I don't really like the addition of the controversy section, mostly because it's uncited. Please provide proper references or it may be deleted. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Controversy
Morrone is notorious among animal advocates for what they see as encouraging worst-practice pet ownership. He tells his viewers to purchase pets from breeders rather than adopting from a Humane Society or other reputable rescue group. Morrone has rescue groups as guests on his shows from time to time, but does not permit them to discuss pet ownership practices that would reduce the burden on such organizations.

Despite his prominent media position, he is accused of steadfastly refusing to advocate spaying and neutering of companion animals to reduce pet overpopulation and limit the millions of unwanted pets who are euthanized each year.

It is not known how many of the hundreds of animals sold by Morrone's businesses are later turned into shelters and euthanized by irresponsible and poorly educated pet purchasers.
