Scotland To Outlaw Breeding Of Cats Without Cartilage And Other Designer Pet Breeds

[Arkansas Granny]

Scotland just decided that they are going to outlaw the breeding of "designer" animals.

The Scottish Government opened a consultation on September 7th that will consider the public's opinions and knowledge about the breeding practices of dogs, cats, and rabbits. Once the consultation closes on November 30th, the government plans to enact stricter licensing regulations on the breeding of such animals.

The new licensing is meant to prohibit breeding practices that produce pets with a predisposition for certain genetic conditions.

Often, these types of pets are considered "designer" pets as they are bred specifically to appeal to buyers who are looking for specific features in their animals.

2. People who profit off these poor animals are no different than the scum who

make money off of dog fights. Ban the practice and make sure the penalties are strong enough to deter anymore breeding.

3. I'm wondering if regulations like this would help reduce the number of puppy mills.
