Title of bill
An act to amend the general business law, in relation to prohibiting the sale of dogs born on puppy farms by pet dealers
Purpose
Provides that pet dealers or other persons shall not sell dogs purchased from or received from a puppy farm.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the general business law is amended by adding a new section 753-f.
Justification
This bill prohibits the sale of dogs that originated from puppy farms. Puppy Farms are used by breeders for the quick sale of these animals to the public. This form of breeding can lead to various health problems for the dogs which may include flee infestation, malnutrition and various infections which fall into the hands of the buyer who purchases a dog from these farms. This can create a financial hardship on the owner and is unfair to the health and well-being of the dog.
