NSW PUPPY FARMING INQUIRY: Have Your Say!
Home > Latest News | 14 Feb 2022
We’re closer than ever before to ending puppy farming and the sale of puppies in pet shops in New South Wales.
We know that New South Wales has become the puppy farming capital as more and more states implement legislation to stamp out the cruel trade - with puppy farmers flocking to where the laws are weakest.
Now a Select Committee in the Upper House of NSW Parliament has commenced an inquiry on puppy farming in New South Wales. This is your chance to have your say!
Don’t underestimate the power of your response to this important consultation.
Individual and personalised submissions will be given the most weight. But you can also complete a survey.
Some points to mention in your submission:
- Puppy farming is cruel yet it remains completely legal in New South Wales.
- Victoria and Western Australia have already banned the sale of puppies in pet shops and introduced laws to combat puppy farms - with other states set to follow.
- Since legislation has been passed in other states, New South Wales has seen a surge in puppy farm applications.
- Recent investigations into puppy farms in New South Wales have revealed extreme cruelty and suffering to dogs. For example, you could reference the story of Strawberry the Boxer.
- Laws to end puppy farms should involve restricting the number of animals a breeder can have, combat secretive online sales and ban the sale of animals in pet shops.
