I suspect much of the outrage was the fact that people were rocking up telling the breeders they were taking Regent's Fluffybottom to Surrey, and then chucking it on a boat to Shanghai and selling the animal on at profit. So firstly the breeders were losing out on money, and secondly they had no control over who had the dog and what purpose it was used for, rather than concern for it's welfare exactly. Some dogs are sold without the right to breed them, I think, so if someone's breeding them in China for megabucks off of your hard work, then yeah, that's gonna get up people's noses.
