Thanks for posting this Twinkles.......   I agree with what you say but at least they are doing more than the Libs whose

concern with animals is zilch. btw I'm apolitical , it's just a general comment I'm making. 

I suppose it depends on the fine print re the phase out period, I guess they need to consider the business repercussions as well. Financially it may bankrupt some.

I doubt puppy farmers declare an income so thet would either have to get a regular job and delare how they jad been supporting themselves and pet shops that have ceased to sell pets seem tp be doing ok financially selling food grain etc

I note there has been no mention so far of backyard breeding

I think puppy sales have been banned from NSW petshops? Not positive, but I know the chain store pet shop only have RSPCA and rescue animals in their shops now

Not banned in Qld

Blessed are the cracked, for they are the ones who let in the light.
