PUPPY FARMING — DEFINITION
151. Hon JIM CHOWN to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Local Government:
Will the minister please give the
official definition of what constitutes puppy farming?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The government uses the widely
accepted RSPCA definition—that is, an intensive dog-breeding facility
that is operated under inadequate conditions that fail to meet the dogs'
behavioural, social and/or physiological needs.
