Hello animal lovers!
Following up from our animal shelter visits from January to March, NUS PEACE will bring you a talk titled ‘How Much Is That Doggy In The Window’, a collaboration initiative with Humane Society Singapore (HSS).
Do you know the source of the cute little puppies that you see in pet shops? Or, the pet dog that you are owning now?
Have you ever wondered where are their mothers and how do they look like?
In Singapore, many of the puppies sold in pet shops and farms come from puppy mills, which are literally ‘Puppy Factories‘ where dogs are impregnated and bred over and over again just to produce puppies for sale. Usually, the welfare of the dogs used for breedings are largely compromised.
Several dogs are cramped in cages about their sizes where even movement is severely limited. Other problems of breeding dogs include skin and ear infections as well as damaged paws.
However, many people are unaware about the source of these puppies. Through this event, we hope to raise awareness among the participants about the darkside of puppy mills as well as the plight of the breeding dogs. We also urge future pet owners to adopt, don’t shop!
The event is FOC & opened to all NUS staffs and students, as well as the public! REGISTER NOW @ http://tinyurl.com/
Do note that the venue for the talk and roadshow will be updated shortly!
