Rejected petition Don't allow any industrial puppy farms in Scotland

The Sunday Post and Evening Times have both reported on a couples plans to create Scotland’s first industrial puppy farm. The remote Ayrshire facility would house 40 dogs in a disused stable block, churning out puppies for cash. The pup factory will be sited on a farm near Galston.

More details

The application has been made by a couple who are linked to the massive puppy farm, the UK Dog Breeding Academy, in Fivemiletown. This facility featured in a BBC documentary about puppy farming. In the programme, footage inside the kennels showed dozens of dogs huddled together in disused trailers. The reporter claimed she found hundreds of breeding bitches in battery-farmed and “freezing” conditions at the Irish premises.
