Currently the English government have banned the third party sales of dogs in England. This was a very dangerous step which has encouraged the black market trade in dogs and has already led to more animal cruelty and suffering. Organized crime and dog theft have hit record levels and the public are unable to get pets from licensed and regulated sources. We told DEFRA this would happen but they failed to engage with or listen to the industry, Now the devolved parliaments are going to follow the same path. This is a disaster for our pets and our industry. STOP driving the industry underground and into the hands of criminal groups, our pets should be bred in licensed and regulated kennels located within the UK
Dont listen to charities and animal rights activists on this, they dont understand this industry or how it works, promote the license, enforce the law, reward those who operate within the law, dont undermine them, dont penalize the honest businesses who have chosen to be licensed and regulated, dont drive it underground!
