Help wanted. Important campaign

Sorry - the petition is misguided & badly worded. ( & is USA biased)
What should be asked for is a ban on the transport of puppies & kittens under eight weeks of age except to and from a vet and the sales only allowed from the breeder's premises. A limit to number of dogs on any one licensed premises would be another thing to consider - maybe 12 litters per year? Not the 200 that some farms have.

Every advert site probably has a notice "see the puppy with it's mother at the place where it was bred" but still idiots ignore this. The petition as it stands will not affect the consigment sellers nor the "my OH, Mum, Uncle Tom, has taken the bitch out brigade. Easy enough to have a bitch as window deressing for multiple litters.
 
Its not perfect but its a start, yes people will supply a bitch saying its the pups mum but the petition also raises awareness and gets people talking, no bad thing in my book. Education is the key and the people who are targetted are not necessarily on this forum but if people can share it hopefully it will raise awareness.
