Prevent the suffering caused by cruel puppy farming

The issue

Every puppy in Australia deserves to be born into clean, safe conditions.

But all too often, we find cruel and uneducated backyard breeders who keep dogs in tiny cages under hot tin roofs, amongst mud, maggots and faeces and without clean water or sunlight. Mother dogs spend their whole lives being pregnant and having their puppies snatched away from them.

Join now to hear from the Animal Welfare League about how you can make a difference in the lives of animals across Australia. 

The puppies are cleaned up and sold online for hundreds of dollars each. The new owners have no knowledge of the suffering these tiny puppies—and their mums especially—have endured.

A Breeder Licensing Scheme would help prevent such abhorrent treatment of dogs and puppies by ensuring every breeder can be identified and regulated by accredited, independent animal welfare Inspectors.

If you believe all dog breeders should have nothing to hide, please sign the petition and tell the NSW Government that you support the Breeder Licensing Scheme. Together we can prevent the suffering caused by cruel puppy farming.
