Well, although I don’t know much about law, I’d love to talk about an animal law against over-reproduction of pets, like dogs and cats. I came across some news introducing the related regulation about prohibiting businesses like pet stores, shelters, and kennels from breeding pets on a massive scale. As we all know, the pet industry is a multi-million dollar industry. People are willing to pay an absurd amount of money to obtain a pet they adore, cuz people are looking for a lifetime companion. I’ve heard some of my friends paid up to 20,000 RMB for a pure-breed dog. It’s actually rather common for dog owners to pay a couple thousand for an urban dog like a corgi or a French bulldog.

However, the thing is, when businesses breed dogs and cats on a large scale without government regulation, many of the animals end up being abandoned or euthanized. The businesses don’t know or care about the animals, causing genetic disorders, deformity, and more. Obviously, this has to stop. That’s why many parts of Europe and North America have adopted related laws to protect the animals. But those lovely animals in China aren’t as lucky. 

A license for a certified breeder isn’t just a piece of paper. It helps to regulate the pet industry and the pet market, guaranteeing basic animal rights. At the same time, it also helps the lawful businesses to survive and thrive. I’ve read reports about the positive outcomes thanks to such law since there’s a noticeable decline in the number of strayed animals in countries where such law is adopted.
