' Since the relaxation of the Pet Passport system in Jan 2012 there has been vast numbers of bulk imports of very young puppies into the UK for resale via pet shops and online. The youngest that pups can legally travel on Pet Passports is 15 weeks old. But by 15 weeks pups have lost most of their resale value – they are normally sold at 8 weeks. Channel 4 Dispatches exposed that underage pups are travelling on fake documents. These illegally imported pups risk our rabies free status. We ask the Government to reverse the 2012 relaxation for bulk imports of pups as it has been proven that our passport system is open to abuse. We ask Government to change commercial Pet Passports back to the pre January 2012 relaxation to protect out rabies free status before we experience an outbreak.'

I have signed it, shared it on facebook and also with the Akita Rescue and Welfare forum. There was a programme about this called Designer Dogs or something like that. There was a lot of French Bulldogs, Poodles, Chihuahua's, and designer cross-breeds like Labradoodle's, Puggles, etc!

Brilliant work Jessie99 I watched that! My boyfriend went to the store the other day and there was a massive white van with the back door open stacked floor to ceiling with cages of chihuahuas. The guy was unloading them into another van apparently. Absolutely disgraceful. Good job I wasn't there. I would of gone off on one!
