Time For The Government To Bite Down On Puppy Farms?

Born fluffy…

atest press release from Uplift, issued on Monday, August 25th 2025…

Ireland has been called the puppy farm capital of Europe and our government is doing nothing about it.

Puppy farms are horrible places where hundreds of loving, defenceless dogs are kept in horrific conditions and repeatedly bred to have their puppies sold for profit.

The Uplift team have always stood up for the voiceless and now, member Rochelle has started a petition calling on Martin Heydon, Minister for Agriculture, to introduce a host of new measures that would clamp down on abusive, for-profit dog breeders and punish those who abuse these defenceless animals.

Here’s what Rochelle says: “Ireland has gained an international reputation as one of the worst countries in Europe for puppy farming. That is something no one should feel proud of. We need stronger protection for our animals and real enforcement of animal welfare laws.”

If you love dogs and agree that we need stricter rules to stop puppy farming and to keep dogs safe, then sign your name now – right here.
