And I read some great news this morning about
new laws being proposed to stop puppy farms in Queensland. Just had to share. :) I'm a big supporter of
Oscar's Law so these new laws make me very happy indeed.
Via the
RSPCA Queensland Facebook page:
#ClosePuppyFactories - we're so close! in response to the 2010/11 Close Puppy Factory Petition and community reaction to the closepuppyfactories.rspcaqld.org.au campaign, the Queensland Government proactively announced a Breeder Identification Number (BIN) system. Have your say on the proposed new dog breeder standards in Queensland here:
http://www.getinvolved.qld.gov.au/gi/consultation/315/view.html
From the
legislation page:
The proposed legislation introduces a system of registration targeting intensive dog breeders and introduces a system of inspections against animal welfare standards.
Other proposed measures include:
- ways of assisting consumers to purchase puppies from registered breeders
- the adoption of mandatory standards for all dog breeders; and
- the expansion of existing dog micro-chipping requirements to improve animal welfare monitoring.
When you go to
the link you can read the full proposed standard. The options get stricter and more effective as you go down the list, so option 3 and 4 are the toughest and investigation shows they would have the biggest impact on puppy farms. Full details are in the draft PDF statement on the website.
I was extremely excited to be able to have my say on the proposed laws. Hopefully if this is something you feel strongly about you can add your say as well.
