Puppy farms are a big part of dog abuse. Dogs can be kept in horribly dirty and cramped conditions to heave puppies so their ‘owner’ can earn money. The cute pup in the pet shop window could come from a traumatic background. It’s mother could still be in pain.
Oscar’s law is a campaign that enables everyone to make a stand and tell the Government that “We do not want companion animals factory farmed anymore” and “We no longer want the pet industry to mislead us about what is acceptable for our animals”.
You can help fight the killing of healthy, rehomeable pets in Australia’s pounds, promote rescue organisations and shelters as the first option to adopting, and change the way Australians gets their pets. Adoption is the intelligent alternative to impulse buying. No puppy factory whether it is ‘clean’, ‘model’, ‘state of the art’ or otherwise is the answer for mans best friend.
Who is Oscar?
Now you may be wondering who Oscar is! Oscar was one of a number of dogs who were rescued from a puppy factory in central Victoria where they had been neglected to the point they required urgent veterinary care. The list of ailments the dogs suffered was extensive, including:
Severe matting — the dogs had to be sedated in order to shave their painful matted fur away from their skin; ear infections; Gum Disease; and rotten teeth
