Dear____________
Please could you lend your support to the campaign to close a loophole in Manx Law which allows dealers to import puppies from puppy farms and then sell them to the Manx public.
Farmed puppies have a miserable start in life, travel long distances at a very young age and often grow up into adults with physical and behavioural problems, causing unnecessary heartache and expense for their new owners.
The puppies are often born to mothers who are undernourished and lacking in basic veterinary care. They live in appalling conditions without love or compassion, and are bred from at every season. The puppies too do not receive appropriate veterinary care and are rarely socialised properly. They are removed from their mothers and litter mates, from as young as four weeks old, and sold on to 3rd parties, dealers and pet shops.
This is hugely damaging to their health and development and they often have behavioural problems which mean that they cannot live within families and end up being euthanised. Others develop immune system failures and other health problems which end their lives prematurely.
These animals suffer horrendously but so do the families that buy them unwittingly. They grow to love their puppies dearly and often lose them in a very short time. Please help us to stop this heinous trade.
Yours sincerely
