This is a campaign to gain public support for a Bill that’s currently being tabled in the NSW parliament. It’s called the Animals (Regulation of Sale) Bill, and was created by Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP. It’s a complicated issue, but here it is in a nutshell:
The Bill aims to ban the sale of cats and dogs in pet shops. The problem is that these animals are kept in a shop window, 24 hours a day, and inevitably develop social problems. What’s more, many pet shops source their pets (either directly or indirectly) from Puppy Farms – a cruel industry where puppies are bred like battery hens!
The Bill simply means that cats and dogs will be sold through registered breeders and pounds, affording them a better chance in life. There are more than 60,000 unnecessary deaths every year in NSW alone because of impulse buying and puppy farming – it’s insane, and it has to stop.
We’re asking for your support
It will take two minutes and make all the difference.

totally support the campaign... HAR knows what its like when the puppy you buy turns into a dog and gets dumped often ending up in a pound and waiting on death row... animals are not disposable! anyone reading this and agrees add us!
I just saw you guys on Channel V and had to be a part of such an important movement, you guys do great work and its much appreciated. Its time animals got the rights they deserve.
My pleasure. Thank you for all the work you're doing to spread the word and raise awareness on this very important issue. Ophelia and I wholeheartedly support you and will do our little bit to help out where we can. ;-)
No worries on adding the banner to my profile! :) Thanks for the add! I think it is great what you're doing. All too often I go past pet shops and see dogs and cats in the windows, and think it is horrible.
Hi i was just wondering how you add a link to you page as you have with the 'sign the Bill' thing? I have been asked to create a page for the same thing and would really appreciate it if you helped me out. Thanks Alexandra.
I've been waiting for this to happen since I first found out about what happens to animals in pet stores. All Australia should have this bill in place! Keep up the good work
Thank you for everything you are doing for the animals! And thank you for the nice words about me. Sincerely appreciated it!! We have to keep "leading the way" and make the world a better place....Tina
