You’re against backyard breeder advertising, right?

Guess what? Craigslist doesn’t care! 

Neither does Facebook, YouTube, Puppyfinder.com (147,782), marketplace.akc.org (27,708), californiapuppiesforsale.com (4,277), puppies.com (75,151) and add hundreds of other sites.

YouTube (158,566) features videos teaching Puppy Mills how to defeat Facebook restrictions. Google/YouTube just won a court case finding that they could keep profiting from videos depicting animal cruelty!

15 million backyard breeder ads annually. 

Think this impacts shelter and rescue overcrowding?

Puptax.com : is a proposed law to require tax and registration to receive a permit to advertise any pet for sale.

Advertising registration would require photo ID, physical location, puppy place of birth and other abuse or fraud prevention data. 

Proper detailed registration and paid tax results in a checkable permit number through a public database. 

Advertisers permit number, expiration date, name address and phone number required in every ad.

Backyard Breeders are notorious scofflaws. The bottom line:  they won’t comply. That’s OK!

This proposed law prevents the ACCEPTANCE of ads offering animals for sale in any form, prior to tax and verifiable detailed registration by the advertiser.

It is critically important to believe that law abiding publications and websites will comply.

NO TAX & REGISTRATION = NO PERMIT,

NO PERMIT = NO ADS,

NO ADS = NO SALES AND NO PROFITS: 

Eliminating an estimated  15 million “pets for sale” ads a year means animal shelters and rescues are that much closer to bringing overpopulation under control.
