Lawmakers in New Jersey Are Cracking Down on Questionable 'Rescues' Like Pixies and Paws 🧚♀️🐾
If you care about animals and ethical rescue practices, this article is a must-read (or watch the news segment). Lawmakers are cracking down on shady operations posing as "rescues" that may actually be sourcing dogs from puppy mills.
Pixies and Paws "Rescue", mentioned in this investigation, has come under fire for questionable practices, with allegations of purchasing puppies from breeders and misleading the public into thinking they are saving animals. Jennifer Lamb, owner of Pixies and Paws and previously "In Our Hands Rescue," has admitted in a prior news report to providing payment for dogs from breeders.
Now, a new bill in New Jersey aims to stop the funneling of dogs from breeders into "rescues," ensuring that true at-risk animals are prioritized. This aims to stop the exploitation of animals and ensure transparency in rescues [and pet stores].
