With The Backyard Breeding Epidemic Hurting Animal Shelter Adoptions And Costing Homeless Pets Their Lives, Facebook Has Now Enabled Backyard Breeders To Circumvent Their Rules by Establishing “Kennel Pages” to Advertise Their Illegal Breeding Operations.
As Bad As That Is, There Are Now YouTube Videos That Teach Them How.
Are Craigslist, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Other Websites Fueling The Backyard Breeding Epidemic? Of Course They Are!
With Animal Shelters and Rescues overflowing with adoptable pets, forced to compete with Backyard Breeders that don’t comply with regulations and operate without overhead.
Despite Craigslist rules allegedly “prohibiting” the selling of animals, annual estimates of 15 million “pets for sale” ads are published nationally on hundreds of websites.
Insufficient pressure on Facebook, Craigslist and other sites allow Backyard Breeders, Puppy Flippers, Mills and Scammers go unchecked.
While many animal welfare organizations support the end of Backyard Breeder ads, they have been largely ignored.
In the past Legal and Public pressure on Craigslist, Backpage and others have forced them to end their “erotic” and “adult” services.
The proposed law is designed to hold backyard breeders and those that enable them accountable.
It’s a tax on all pets for sale advertisements with transparent registration.
Would Backyard Breeders pay taxes and complete comprehensive registration , providing Identification, Location, Vaccinations and Health information?
The simple answer is that they WILL NEVER DO IT!
That’s 100% completely expected!
No Tax=No Ad,
No Registration=No Ad,
No Ads=No Sales,
No Sales=No Profits and
No Breeding
Websites or Publications would be prevented from accepting ads without Paid Tax and Registration and (checkable) Permits.
Large civil penalties will discourage Websites and Publications from accepting untaxed and unpermitted ads. Private enforcement is also a possibility.
This petition is only the first step in implementing the law. Please show your support,
We target lawmakers next.
