Adopt, Don’t Shop. The Movement to Ban Puppy Mill Sales
May 4, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Our Nation has a Puppy Mill Problem
And So Does Washington State!
Some local pet stores import animals from out-of-state breeders because Washington law has effectively made the business of commercial breeding unprofitable.
The US Department of Agriculture has been woefully negligent in inspecting facilities and enforcing the Federal Animal Welfare Act, and the current administration is actively encouraging inspectors to overlook violations.
Puppy mill operations can have far-reaching and devastating consequences, not only for the animals but also for humans. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has documented links between commercial dog-breeding facilities and disease outbreaks.
Join our forum to explore what is being done locally and at the state and national levels to enact laws that protect our innocent furry friends and ourselves.
Admission Free (donations for expenses accepted).
We embrace inclusion, respect, and fairness for all in our actions.
