Stop Puppy Farming Bill reintroduced
The Dog Amendment (Stop Puppy Farming) Bill 2021 (the Bill) has been reintroduced into Parliament.
Proposed changes to the current Dog Act 1976 include mandatory dog sterilisation and dog breeder approval to regulate the breeding of dogs.
The benefits will be to give local governments the tools to deal with irresponsible dog breeders, improve animal welfare and encourage responsible dog ownership through public awareness.
