Commercial Dog Dealing:

Puppy Farm Awareness Day

Saturday 19th September 2009

This is an important day which aims to raise awareness of the puppy farming issue here in the UK and overseas. Puppy Farm Awareness Day was launched by Puppy Love, Hope UK and Puppy Alert

Commercial dog dealing continues right now in our own country and is shamefully on the increase as the demand for puppies increase and those breeders who have no regard for the welfare of the dogs in their establishments make easy profits, profits gained from misery.

There are a staggering 90 ‘licensed’ dog breeders in Carmarthenshire (Wales) alone. Puppies are big business as they are churned out to third party dealers and sold via avenues such as internet sites and pet shops, whilst puppy’s parents live a miserable existence confined to a concrete cell to be used solely for breeding ‘cute’ puppies and thousands of dogs continue to end up in shelters unwanted and facing death.

Puppy Farm Awareness Day needs your support, there are several events being organised in he UK, coinciding with Puppy Mill Awareness Day in the USA.

If you are unable to attend an event, maybe you could organise your own event, distribute posters locally, please write to your local newspaper and send a letter to your Member of Parliament. Every letter, every protest, every cross posting counts, as these dogs in their thousands have no one but you to keep banging the drum for them.

On the 14th September, Noon-4pm, Puppy Love have organised a march through Bramley, Leeds, leaflets will be distributed and the march will end at pet shop Dogs4Us, Waterloo Way, Bramley, Leeds where puppies are sold. Further information from Puppy Love, see also the FB Group-International Puppy Farm Awareness Day

Please support this monthy event outside Dogs4Us, until they stop selling puppies the protests will continue as dedicated people gather each month to speak out for those who continue to suffer behind the closed doors of puppy farms.
