狗工廠「生產」小狗售賣 惹關注
[2010-03-15]
本報記者報道
烈治文市議會現正研究，管制市內寵物店出售來自養狗工廠（Puppy Mill）培育的小狗，或者全禁面止狗隻買賣。寵物店業界則反對後者，認為只會令狗隻買賣潛入地下。
市議員莊士敦(Ken Johnston)不願本市有人販賣來自美國養狗工廠的小狗。他說，市府要確保寵物店所出售的，並非來自不仁道又不健康的養狗工廠。新措施是針對保護狗隻，而非故意打擊寵物店。他指出，一是禁止零售買賣，一是規管培育狗隻牟利的配種師。　
市府職員則建議，遊說省政府推出全省一律的規例，或者要求業界出示狗隻來源地證明，最後一個建議才是全面禁售。
如果通過全面禁售，烈市會是大溫首個城鎮推行禁令，而蘭里市也在考慮中，其他大溫城鎮則任由狗隻在寵物店鋪買賣。
愛護動物協會（SPCA）的虐待動物調查員莫里亞蒂（Marcie Moriarty）同意，養狗工廠為利之所趨，不斷令母狗懷孕，不理會其福祉，小狗出生後則如貨物般展示，沒有社交。
據卑詩省烈治文市Pet Habitat寵物店的負責人洪先生（Ernest Ang，譯音）說，他也反對買賣養狗工廠的小狗。他表示，店裏的小狗是從美國動物經紀亨特公司（Hunte Corp）購入的。
從事寵物店生意31年的洪先生預期，如果全面禁售狗隻，勢必令守法的寵物店關門大吉，地下狗隻買賣湧現。他經營的寵物店，每年賣200隻狗，每隻平均1,500元。
據加拿大廣播公司（CBC）的紀錄片指出，亨特公司是從數個養狗工廠買入小狗。這家在美國密蘇里州（Missouri）的公司每年售9萬隻狗。

That's the only thing I support Petcetera............ Petcetera doesn't sell dogs & cats as well. Even we only did SPCA adoption, people would still come to me saying "I'm in love with that dog (German Shepard mix), I want to take him home right now!" When I ask him where he lived, he told me he lived in an apartment! Excuse me....... do you know what you are doing?

There was one time, we had a Pitt Bull mix puppy. Three little girls (grade 6-7, I guess) "fell in love" with the puppy and wanted to adopt the puppy. Of course I wanted to see the parents. When daddy came, he just stood in the corner of the doggy daycare with his arm crossed. When the adoption staff interviewed him, he said "I'm not going to touch the dog. She will have to take care of it (pointing at daughter)" Excuse me............. do you know what your daughter wanted to do? She's not going to buy a little barbie doll. It's a Pitt Bull we are talking about! It bites and it kills!

I am so glad that we had the power to say no to those idiots!

So if yayaya tells her story from a broker's point of view, I'm telling you guys stories from a pet store employee's point of view. I am not going to comment on the Petcetera management and how other employee handle the animals. However, when I worked there as a CS manager, I need to meet my sales quota as well. I do care sales and revenue. Although we don't make any profit from the dog/cat, new owners would shop a lot when they do the adoption. However, I also care whom would adopt the dogs and cats. We can't close our eyes and let those stupid people take away the dogs/cats. It's live we are talking about!

Excuse me! I didn't point at you in person, I'm just saying puppy mill in general. You don't need to get angry and take the seat like with a matching number ticket on hand.
