Feature: Exposing the puppy traffickers

Click here to share this video with your friends.

Puppy trafficking is a lucrative business. Tiny puppies are bred in large numbers to be sold by some pet shops, via the internet and through local newspaper adverts. Many puppies fall sick and sadly some die, very often once you’ve paid out hundreds, or even thousands of pounds in vet bills. And that’s on top of what you paid for the puppy in the first place.

If you don’t want to be their next victim, don’t buy their puppies.

If you missed Rogue Traders’ puppy trafficking exposé on BBC1 last night, you can watch it on the iPlayer here.
