Breeders

One of the many parts of my job is to see new PETA videos before they are released – this often is disturbing and harrowing footage of cruelty to animals.

When people buy a dog or a cat from a breeder, they rob animals in shelters of the chance at a loving home…

A survey conducted by the RSPCA found that one in five pedigree puppies purchased from a breeder was given up before his or her second birthday.

The consequences of the animal overpopulation crisis are tragic; in the UK alone, it’s estimated that one homeless dog is euthanised every single hour.

It’s easy to forget that animal companions, too, can be the victims of routine, profit-driven cruelty.
