Motion: Breeding and selling pups for companion (not service) animals is immoral and unethical and should be banned.
Arguments in favour of the motion:
1. Puppy farms
2. Artificial concept of 'breeds'
3. Dogs which are bred this way often have genetic defects which cause pain, distress and shorten lives
4. There are excessive numbers of dogs and puppies in rescue centres already, who could be given a home instead.
Arguments against the motion:
1. Pointless introducing laws that we can't/won't enforce
2. Puppy breeding generates income for breeders
3. Smaller dogs more appropriate for smaller homes/ children
4. Cross breeds are ugly
Ok, I added that last one to make up the numbers!
