Protesters support Bill to ban pet sales

In latest dog and cat news in Sydney yesterday around 70 people rallied in support of a bill to ban pet shops from selling kittens and puppies.


Doggie Rescue MD Monika Biernacki said the ban, if made law, would slash the estimated 60,000 dogs put down each year in New South Wales pounds and animal shelters. The number of cats put down every year because they were dumped and no alternative home could be found was much higher, Biernacki said.

These are some serious numbers don't you agreed. Monika goes on to say:

"We've just got to stop the over-breeding of animals. The kill rate is so high, each year it goes up and up, and groups like us are struggling to cope," she added. "It is also to stop the impulse buying, to get consumers a little bit more educated about what they are taking on instead of it being about a cute fluffy thing in the window."

Stay tuned for more dog and cat news soon.
