Petition in Opposition to Selling Puppies in Pet Stores

Posted on by Joan OBrien in Action Alerts, News

A significant number of puppies sold at pet stores come from large-scale, commercial breeding facilities where the health and welfare of the animals are not adequately provided for (“puppy mills”). Puppies produced in puppy mills often have health and behavioral issues, which many consumers are unaware of when purchasing these animals due, in part, to misleading sales tactics of pet stores. These health and behavioral issues can impose exorbitant financial and emotional costs on consumers.

Manchester is a city built on the backs of its own citizens. For this reason, practices which aim to take advantage of our citizens or the animals they love have no place in our city.

As such, I oppose allowing the sale of puppies in Manchester, NH pet stores.

Guest Speaker

Peter Marsh

Attorney/Activist

Getting to Zero: A Roadmap for Ending Shelter Overpopulation — Attorney and former NHARL board member Peter Marsh was a founder of “Solutions to Overpopulation of Pets” (STOP), the group that spearheaded the establishment of publicly funded pet-sterilization programs in New Hampshire in the 1990s.

In less than a decade after the programs were established, shelter euthanasia rates dropped by 75 percent. By 2000, New Hampshire had become the first state in the nation to stop putting shelter cats and dogs to death just to make room for more homeless animals.

Using New Hampshire as a model, Peter has helped government agencies, foundations, and nonprofit groups develop humane animal protection programs throughout the United States.
