Hello to all animal-lovers!
Missed our recent puppy mill campaign talk and road show? Here’s a summary of the event!
Audrey speaking at the talk!
The talk titled ‘How Much Is The Doggy In The Window’ was conducted by NUS PEACE Communications Director, Audrey Tan. It was commenced with a brief introduction of NUS PEACE and Humane Society Singapore, our parter for the event.
Firstly, a video on the conditions of puppy mills and the dogs used for breeding was featured to allow our participants to have a clearer idea of the living conditions of the dogs in puppy mills. It zooms into the dark side of puppy mills to uncover the unethical and inappropriate treatment towards the dogs involved in breeding.
Next up, Audrey went on further to explain about the conditions of puppy mills in details- Space, Hygiene, Veterinary Care, Food & In-breeding. Dogs are often kept in small cages just about their size and stacked in order to save spaces. As a result, air ventilation becomes a problem. In addition, being kept in the cages for most or all of the time, where they live, eat, pee and poo, the living conditions are very unhygienic conditions. Without vaccinations and proper veterinary care, the dogs are very prone to skin infections and other health ailments. Once unable to reproduce anymore, the dogs will then be abandoned or left to fend for themselves and die.
Lastly, questions were opened up to the floor and issues such as legislations and governing bodies were raised. We hope that all of our participants have a better understanding of puppy mills after the talk. Most importantly, help to raise awareness and spread the message of ‘Adopt, Don’t Shop!’
In addition, a booth was set up along the walkway outside Central Library. We had the opportunity to talk to many students regarding the issue of puppy mill and received very positive responses for our fundraising merchandises!
Happy faces at the booth!
