So what happens to all the cats and dogs that are bred that no one buys? Some selfish person says "I want a xxx because they look cute! (And of course I'll get their nasty claws ripped out duh)" And so the breeder produces a whole litter just to supply demand for a single dog or cat. Where do the others go? Best case scenario, a shelter and then a loving home. Let's not talk about worst case scenario.

That depends on how ethical the breeder is. My breeder has a waiting list, and you are not guaranteed to be accepted as a potential adopter (i.e., there's a detailed questionnaire to fill, and you have to pass their "smell test" when they meet you). They have a fixed number of litters per year (litter size can vary though, so you can wait a long time to get a dog), and they never increase that number no matter how much demand there is. They never have a problem finding a home for their pups, because they have a reputation for being good breeders and for their dogs not having health issues.
