The only love in a puppy mill is between the animals. No sentient being deserves this horrific cruelty,and we as a so called civilized country should not tolerate these hell holes called puppy mills.I call on a total ban on puppy mills & pet shop pet sales. The shelters are overflowing with unwanted dogs because of these rogue breeders,and the Government should address the shocking problem by closing puppy mills immediately,and put a stop to the thousands of dogs being euthanized every day..Ireland needs to address it's horrendous problem of animal cruelty/welfare issues.

For example, it should be mandatory that each and every dog (male and female) on this island be neutered unless the owner has a license for breeding purpose. Simply put, if the owner is not a licensed breeder, the dog must be neutered. This will wipe out all the thousands of unwanted puppies that end up euthenised. Plus, all neutered dogs are healthier, as we already know. Also, it wont be worth it for the puppy farmers to pay all those license fees, which will make them hang up their dirty work.

The disposal of unwanted hounds is a shocking practice and hopefully can be partially addressed under the new bill. Im praying the greyhound industry is included under this Bill.

The UK has also made recent progress with regards to its dog breeding regulation. An independent inquiry into dog breeding ( see here for more http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/peterwedderburn/100022266/dog-breeding-report-the-facts/ ) recommends that all puppies should be; micro-chipped so they can be identified and vet certified guaranteeing their health.
