TV Vet posts Open Letter to PIF
 
Marc Lee Abraham, TV Vet and founder of PupAid, has today published an Open Letter to the Pet Industry Federation (PIF) on the Huffington Post.

In it, Marc states: "There is now overwhelming scientific evidence that selling puppies through third party outlets has a detrimental effect on their welfare (not to mention the welfare of their parents) and therefore no basis for maintaining that buying from licensed, regulated premises protects consumers (and dogs) from poor practice - quite the reverse in fact!"


And goes on to ask: "The ultimate question for the Pet industry Federation is just who they are trying to protect if not puppies or owners, and why do they continue to expend their efforts in allying themselves to a trade which certainly seems to bring both their organisation and industry into disrepute?"
