  • Calculations in Relation to Puppy Farms Bill Effects – Data Requested by the Vic Parliamentary Committee Into the “Puppy Farms” Bill
    Calculations in relation to Puppy Farms Bill Effects – data requested by the Vic Parliamentary Committee into the “Puppy Farms” Bill The Committee requested data in two areas: 1.The likely effects on supply in Vic of eliminating pet shops and commercial breeders as a significant source of puppy/dog supply, and 2. Data to support the assertion that shortage of dog supply in WA was driving up prices. SECTION 1 Overview: Section 1 (below) outlines a number of scenarios based on known facts in relation to likely effects on supply of pups/dogs in Vic, and the effects of licensing at backyard breeder level. Notably, because of the Code of Practice and high audit requirements required by the Code and the public, Pet Shops source from currently audited, licensed and registered breeders and are not thus considered here as a separate entity to those breeders. Results: The data clearly shows that: 1.There is already a significant shortfall of puppies/dogs in Victoria beyond that supply from commercial breeders, purebred breeders and adoptions. Part of this shortfall is from interstate transport of tiny pups/kittens, a situation that will be significantly exacerbated if the Bill proceeds. This will result in a worse average animal welfare status for puppies and kittens. 2. The sheer extent of current supply from unlicenced, unregulated, and potentially poor quality “backyard breeders” of substantially less than 10 breeding females has taken even these researchers by surprise. Not only does this render the proposed “10 breeding female” limit scientifically useless, but will require considerable additional Council resources just to manage the current situation, muchless any future scenario of the backyard breeder looking to make a quick buck as prices rise.

  • Legal Petition
    PETITION FOR RULEMAKING RELATING TO RETAIL PUPPY SALES Executive Summary The enclosed Petition requests that the Commission commence a rulemaking proceeding to create a Trade Regulation Rule (TRR) pursuant to its broad authority under the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTCA), defining with specificity the acts or practices that are unfair or deceptive relating to the retail sale of puppies in the United States. These practices include, among other things, pet sellers: - Falsely representing that they only do business with “reputable breeders” and do not operate or source from “puppy mills;” - Deceptively advertising that they only source from “local” or “licensed” breeders; - Labeling the for profit consumer transaction as an “adoption” rather than a sale; - Offering deceptive, unlawful health guarantees; - Advertising a puppy for sale that does not exist; - Providing falsified veterinary records or offering misleading veterinary records; and - Selling sick puppies to consumers. The Petition also requests the regulation of the use of deceptive marketing language that has been shown to mislead consumers including, but not limited to: “purebred;” “registered;” “vet- checked;” “teacup;” and “hypoallergenic.” The Petition is organized into the following seven sections: - Section 1. Introduction – Provides and overview of the rulemaking request and an explanation of its objectives. - Section 2. Summary of Requested Action – Lists briefly the various deceptive or unfair acts and practices that are prevalent in the retail pet industry, which are explained in detail in Section 5. - Section 3. Jurisdiction – Identifies the FTC’s authority to promulgate the requested rule. - Section 4. Legal Background – Explains the legal theories on which the TRR is grounded. - Section 5.
