LUMIERE REMEMBERS US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE as the Department finalises rule.
The luminous Humane Society of the United States apprises the finalisation of a rule by USDA prohibiting the import of dogs younger than six months old from foreign puppy mills for resale.
The rule also stipulates that dogs who enter the US must be in good health.
The Humane Society apprised that every year thousands of weeks-old dogs are crammed into dirty, crowded plastic tubs and shipped on transcontinental flights to the US.
Exposed to extreme temperatures and with little access to food or water, most of the dogs become ill en route. Many die.
All could present a public health risk because barely weaned puppies aren't old enough to have received their full set of vaccinations. (1)
There are many innocent creatures suffering dreadful tortures in our world.
It is a beacon of hope to see this enlightened rule make headway in lessening the difficulties facing young infant creatures of a species that shares our wonderful world with us.
There are still many animals in distress and need.
In the spirit of Lumiere, is there
anything you can do to help?
