Backyard Breeder Elimination – No Permit – No Ads, No Ads – No Sales, No Sales – No Profits and No More Breeding.

Conventional animal welfare solutions don’t work and have never worked anywhere, nationwide.

Cut off the “supply” (intake) and increase the “demand” (adoptions).

All attempts to “fix” the problem by forcing or firing Shelter Management or Animal Control have never worked.

The only real solution is to take it out of their hands.

It’s estimated that 80% of all animals coming into shelters are intact. These animals don’t come from shelter pet or rescue adoptions but from breeders or breeding.

There has never been an enforceable solution to puppy mills or backyard breeding to date.

It’s easy to see the millions of advertisements for the sale of intact pets.

Breeders, puppy mills, scammers cannot survive without advertising.

The solution is to restrict or eliminate the advertisement of pets* to those who have registered** with the state and have a corresponding sales tax number. Penalties to be imposed on those accepting unregistered ads.

Expect few if any backyard breeders to comply**.

That’s OK, no ads means no sales, no sales means no profits and no profits means less breeding.

There has never been true compliance with any laws restricting breeders.

Take away or make it impossible for them to advertise will cut down the number of available intact animals and make shelter and rescue pet adoption the most viable way to obtain a new pet.

*To eliminate scammers or those in the underground economy, restrictions of any ads involving pets.

The only exceptions to be sites like Petfinder, Adopt-A-Pet or other established adoption sites.

**Detailed registration and transparency would eliminate this aspect of the underground economy.
