Stop the sale of backyard breed puppies & kittens in petshops in Australia

The Issue

Australia currently does not have a federal law against the sale of animals breed for profit from retail outlets (pet shops/stores) Australia should have laws to reduce the amount of backyard breed animals for profit, to improve the quality of life for these young animals. By stopping the sale of breed animals for profit- we stop the sad life of living in overcrowded glass bubbles & can encourage active, ethical programs of rescue groups working with petshops to rehome animals in dire need. If you see live pets for sale at a store, ask them if they considered working with groups such as the RSPCA & AWL instead of supporting the cycle of backyard breeders.
