Plan for super-sized puppy breeding centre
March 29th, 2010

A Melbourne puppy farmer has unveiled plans for a super-sized breeding centre at Ballan, about 70km north of Geelong.

Planning documents filed with the Moorabool Shire Council show the proponents, Robert and Chanthavilit Attard, want to build 52 runs, each to hold two breeding dogs, and a birthing shed on the 20ha farm on the Ballan-Geelong Rd.

….
Animal Liberation Victoria’s Debra Tranter said the group would be lobbying to prevent the permit being granted.

“The plans for this puppy farm resemble a piggery,” she said.

“Dogs are not primary producers, they are companion animals and deserve to be treated as such.”

Here’s a layout of the 52 kennel dog farm where the 100+ breeding dogs will spend their lives:

So how does a puppy farmer present this info to the public?

It’s amazing how a few stock photos can change the image of the business from ‘high production kennel’ to wuvvy-dubby dog sanctuary.

C’mon people!? Really?
