 Pet owners better start waking up fast or they are going to be very sorry .. the pollies have been indoctrinated by peta and AR.

If it isn't stopped, end of all but puppy and pet breeding farms, they are legislating for exactly what they say they don't want. if you want to keep your dogs  entire and breed, for example they have to be housed in concrete floored air conditioned sheds. eg factory farmed. and if there's a blackout? if no backup generator installed. everything will cook on those 40 plus days which are exactly the days the grid is overloaded and konks out.

 

Even Dorrigo Council have already made laws to that effect I learned recently from a friend who moved there to their horror. Not talking suburbia either

4 hours and not one comment. So probably as usual the majority view is it wont affect me.

 

 

Details of the proposed draft regulations

If a member of the public is classified as a "pet shop owner" because they sell, trade or donate an animal or they breed animals for sale they would be required to:

·         get TAFE Cert 2 training,

·         document every sale and every birth,

·         develop 21 written procedures relating to the feeding of animals, the assessment of their wellbeing, the administration of the pet shop, etc.

·         they would also be required to keep registers, directories, training manuals, and meet standards governing signage, cage size minimums, etc.

If you want to have input to the process, you can send a submission to [email protected]

 

 

There are probably a few thousand members at most if not only a few dozen if not less AR campaigners controlling how our politicians draft the laws they want, compared to how many millions of pet owners who have not one iota of input who this is going to affect. Reminds me of the herds on the African veld as the lions walk past thinking I'm safe it isn't going to target me.  Forgetting the one that is brought down was thinking exactly the same thing until it was too late.

Its too late @asal.

 

There is no organisation set up to define the target groups responsibilities, or to represent them. They have no identity in an environment that promotes group identity .

 

Hobby breeders need representation in their own right,

independent of exclusive  identity. 

 

This may not succeed now, but we can see where its headed as the public is being taught domestic animal husbandry is something the public can't be responsible for.

 

In the end, Hobby Breeders will be sacrificed to Identity politics,.

 No one will be willing to claim an identified target group in  exclusive  group Identities.

 They are not required for the standard.

 

The only way out now is representation of the Publics rights and responsibilities to learn Companion  Animal husbandry.

 

 Or loose the rights to Domestic Animal husbandry.

 

Representation and promotion of  Purpose and Value in Companion Animals to create a positive counter movement.

Haven’t looked into it, but would this not just make it more of a muddy mess for those looking to buy/adopt a pet and avoid ACTUAL pet shops? 

How is someone with not much understanding of the matter supposed to avoid buying pet shop puppies now??

Get writing your submissions to the DPI.  Don't take any notice of what other people think, write what YOU think and flood the office with your correspondence.  They have asked for submissions - get writing!!

My vet used to be dead against the commercial puppy farms, now he has come to the conclusion that they are going to be the only way in the future people will be able to source a pet now the ankc's members are producing less and less every year.
