15 million backyard breeder ads annually.
Think this impacts shelter and rescue overcrowding?
Taxbreeders.com proposes a law to require a sales tax number and registration to advertise any pet for sale.
Advertising registration would require photo ID, physical location, puppy place of birth and other abuse or fraud prevention data.
Proper detailed registration and corresponding sales tax number checkable through a public database.
Advertisers permit number, expiration date, name address and phone number required in every ad.
Backyard Breeders are notorious scofflaws. The bottom line: they won’t comply. That’s OK!
This proposed law prevents the ACCEPTANCE of ads offering animals for sale in any form, prior to advertiser having a sales tax number and completing a verifiable detailed registration.
It is critically important to believe that law abiding publications and websites will comply.
NO SALES TAX NUMBER & REGISTRATION = NO PERMIT,
NO PERMIT = NO ADS,
NO ADS = NO SALES AND NO PROFITS:
Eliminating an estimated 15 million “pets for sale” ads a year means animal shelters and rescues are that much closer to bringing overpopulation under control.
