Anti-puppy farm campaign launched

Campaigners are calling for the Manx Government to help stop puppies which are bred in puppy farms from being imported to the Isle of Man.

A petition has been set up in an effort to get legislation implemented which breeders and traders have to adhere to.

There are concerns that farmed puppies are being brought to and sold on the Island – with some displaying behavioural problems and even illness.

Roseleen Harrison is leading the campaign – she’s urging everyone to sign the online petition:
