Puppies are not cheap toys

Again and again we report in the BZ about the criminal trade in puppies.

The animals are often malnourished and sick. A sad sight that will make any animal lover’s heart bleed. Fortunately, there are courageous animal rights activists who scour the opaque market, save the animals and give them the chance of a second life.

Together we can create a better future for animals.

We must give them a voice and punish those who benefit from the suffering. Pets are not toys that you shoot abroad as cheaply as possible.

Luckily the puppy from Poland survived. Let’s hope he finds a permanent, safe home soon.
