Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 151 asked in the Legislative Council on 10 March 2020 by Hon Jim Chown

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

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?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

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.
