Go to this link and don't forget to click the "like" button.... “I used to work for Pets World and I would testify in court that they buy puppies from puppy factories! It was revolting watching the managers unload crates of pups that had just come off the plane, most of which were younger than 8 weeks and very sick. All of the Pets World stores had an outbreak of parvo virus but they still kept filling the cages with puppies to make money! A lot of the time we weren't sure which puppy belonged to which vacc certificate. This needs to stop!!” An ex-pet shop employee Video: World Puppy Farm Awareness Day, September 2010, and vet Dr Chris Brown on Puppy Farms.

250,000 healthy, but unwanted cats and dogs are killed in Australian pounds each year |
In Australia, we have a system that perpetuates a cycle of breeding to excess, impulse purchasing of pets and then quiet killing of the surplus 250,000 mainly healthy cats and dogs year after year. (We kill more than 57,351 every year in New South Wales alone...see link in left menu for full statistics.) This is not justifiable, not ethical and not acceptable. These animals are not just statistics, each one is a live sentient being that can suffer immense stress in a frightening environment prior to an untimely death. Surely we have the ability to fix the problem and stop the oversupply and consequent unnecessary euthanasia of healthy cats and dogs by tackling all the reasons for it? Here are 5 ideas we at DEATHROWPETS want to turn into a reality: "Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight." |
Help us spread the word |

Hundreds of thousands of healthy and treatable cats and dogs are being abandoned and killed in pounds, shelters and vet clinics each year in Australia. This is preventable. Getting to Zero (G2Z) aims to increase responsibility for companion animals so that every city and shire can achieve zero euthanasia of all healthy and treatable cats and dogs. This is the link to the official website: http://www.g2z.com.au/ The Australian National Getting2Zero Summit took place on the 7-9 September 2011. Read about this here... |

It’s time to end the shameful and cruel treatment of our companion animals, who are suffering on puppy factories and need our help. Oscar’s law is a very simple campaign: it enables everyone to make a stand and tell the Government that "We do not want companion animals factory farmed anymore” and "We no longer want the pet industry to mislead us about what is acceptable for our animals”. Who is Oscar? To read more, go to the Oscar’s Law website |

In May 2009 we attended the 2009 No Kill Conference in Washington DC. From what we saw and learnt, we believe that the learnings from this Conference could be a defining moment for Australian Pound and Shelter animals.
