Especially since we supposedly simply just sun ourselves during those suspensions.

Absolutely. Preaching to Congress and being in that position holds one to a higher level perhaps. Not here in this forum though, or at least not with the moral majority, LOL. That's OK, I'll be the hypocrite. LOL.
Seriously though -- while there is an ethics problem amongst owners, this is a business. And the other side of the business tells us that there is an ethics problem amongst trainers, vets and others. For as long as there are people looking to gain an edge . . . there will always be people offering the availability.
