Say NO to Welsh Assembly assisted Puppy Farms!

THE PETITION The Welsh Assembly is giving capital grants to farmers, under the “Farming Connect” scheme, for the purpose of breeding puppies. This scheme includes the “Farm Enterprise Grant” under which the breeding of dogs is eligible for capital works such as kennelling and exercise yards.
We believe that the provision of financial aid by the Welsh Assembly for this purpose is morally corrupt, when over 12,000 unwanted or stray dogs are destroyed every year in Britain.
It is our opinion that this scheme is effectively promoting the potential creation of puppy farms - horrific establishments where bitches are bred at every season and then discarded in the most disgusting manner when their useful lives are over. Morally outraged dog owners have been campaigning for years for these establishments to be made illegal.
The ultimate outcome of this outrageous scheme will be even greater pressure on the already beleaguered rescues and sanctuaries around the UK, most of whom do not receive any funding from either the Welsh Assembly or Central Government.
Do not think that this scheme will only affect rescues and sanctuaries in Wales and that it is therefore of no consequence to those living elsewhere in the UK – because if it is deemed successful in Wales this year, then next year your Local Rural development Agency might introduce a similar scheme and your local rescue may also be additionally inundated with unwanted and potentially genetically defective dogs and puppies!
If you care at all for the well-being of dogs everywhere, large or small, young or old, pedigree or cross-breed, then we beg you to support our campaign to convince the Welsh Assembly to revoke the giving of these grants.
Please sign this petition and add your voice to ours for the benefit of the hundreds of potential brood bitches and stud dogs as well as the thousands of, as yet unborn, puppies – none of who can speak for themselves.
