I disagree completely with you. Regardless of if anyone is running a business or not they should not have people just dropping by their home uninvited. Stores are not open 24/7 why should a home business be available for drop ins anytime? Also many people work from home. I work from home but do not want cliental coming to my house when my husband is not home for safety reasons. Just like a bank is not open when only one teller is there, and a gas station also always has two or more people working at a time. Americans should be allowed to operate a home business just as safely as a business not in their home. You must have an appointment to see a doctor, Lawyer, contractor, and many other businesses. Store front businesses have hours of operation, home business should have that same right. All business have areas that are off limits to the public My child could be in the hospital and they could be charging me over ten thousand dollars a day to take care of my child yet that don’t give me the right to roam freely around. But let’s just think of dogs here. They are very territorial to have people just coming around looking and touching the dogs is upsetting to them. Do you even have a pet dog or cat? I know in my home when someone comes knocking my cat runs and hides and my dogs bark to say intruder. So are you suggesting that all people and animals living in a home have all rights of privacy be stripped away anytime they want to sell an item by placing an ad? Americans have the right to prosper and as long as they are not breaking any laws and or intruding on the rights of another living creature people should have the right to operate a home based business without giving up the right to privacy. As for the thought “what about the animal’s right” A good breeder is not hurting or abusing their animal. And as for the bad breeders, they mostly sell to pet stores and bargain hunters who want a dog at a cheap price anyway.
Hobby or Business still has right to privacy
