HK pet lovers divided over new dog breeding law

Society’s obsession with pedigree breeds has fed an underground economy of dog trading. In one of the city’s largest raids on illegal puppy mills, police rescued 149 pedigree dogs near Yuen Long in 2010. Most of the rescued animals were suffering from long-term abuse and diseases, local media reported at the time.

These breeders take advantage of a legal loophole that allows unlicensed breeders to operate puppy mills undetected inside private residences. It is difficult to hold them accountable. Only nine prosecutions were brought against illegal traders over the last six years, according to the government.
