AWAwatchdog.com
This website will act as a watchdog for the animals confined in USDA licensed kennels. Our goal is to expose the violations of the Animal
Welfare Act which often go unnoticed and/or ignored. Through exposure, we hope to bring awareness and compliance of the laws which
regulate the industry producing puppies for America's pet shops.
Our Goals Include
- Helping the public to understand the laws which affect and impact the commercialization of man's best friend.
- Bringing awareness to the abuse occurring daily in
licensed puppy mills.
- Addressing and exposing the inspectors and the agency charged with enforcing the AWA.
- Enlightening elected officials through their constituents and pushing for changes in the laws designed to protect
our dogs.
Monthly Awareness
This website will include monthly awareness campaigns which expose different aspects of the dog industry. The success of this website
depends on your willingness to get involved. By spreading the word about the abuses
exposed, and through contact of your elected officials, we can make an impact in future enforcement of laws which
are currently ignored.
Who Are We?
We are a small group of individuals located in the Midwest who are sickened by the things we see living in the "puppy belt". Most of us are students attending colleges and universities and we are working on gaining momentum through recruitment of like-minded students.
Why Can't I Contact You?
Through talking with other activists with much more experience than we have, we have learned that the most important thing we must do is stay anonymous.
While we operate within full compliance of state and federal laws, we feel that the dog industry will find a way to stop our efforts if they discover who we are. Revealing our location, our schools or our identities will threaten our ability to work within the industry to expose the cruelty that exists.
This website is provided through the generosity of Last Chance for Animals
(LCA).
Although LCA does not have the staff to answer your email questions, we do encourage financial support of LCA so that our efforts can continue.
How Can I Get Involved?
Recruitment for additional investigators will occur from daily interactions of our current investigators. If you feel you have a story or information and/or pictures you would like to see exposed on AWAwatchdog, we encourage you to contact LCA.
Under Construction
Because of our investigative work, our school, our jobs and our family, this
site will be under construction for the next few months. We are working
hard to update you with all the current news and are dedicated to giving you the
tools you need to force a change in the laws and the way they are enforced.
