Every day across Australia, hundreds of puppies are sold on platforms like Gumtree, Facebook, and Instagram. But these glossy photos hide terrible suffering and the cruelty of puppy farming that is rife across Australia.
Trapped in filthy cages, breeding dogs are treated like machines—forced to produce litter after litter of puppies for profit, they are denied love, socialisation, or even basic vet care. Their broken bodies are repeatedly abused for profit while their puppies are sold online, advertised as from a ‘happy home’.
Australia’s weak laws and poor enforcement allow the cycle of cruelty to continue.
Australians love dogs, so we must step up and demand that dogs receive better protection from exploitation.
It’s time for government action! Add your name today and join our call for:
- Mandatory Licensing for ALL people breeding and selling dogs online.
- Strict regulations for online sale including Breeder ID number, microchip number to ensure full traceability.
- Stronger laws to end puppy farming and backyard breeding across the country.
The Federal Ministers for Agriculture and Communications can make this happen. Sign the petition to demand urgent action to end puppy farming in Australia.
