Interesting approach GF. I'm all for education! Has it worked? Can you give us some comparative per capita data on the incidence of puppymills/ backyard breeders from whatever Oz's version is of SPCA and Animal Cruelty Investigators? Do you have animal cruelty written into your criminal code? I would love to know the stats on that if so. We are working very hard here in Canada to update our cruelty laws so all info is welcome. The efficacy of childhood education in reducing animal cruelty (inclusive of lowering the rate of BYBers) would be a very interesting read indeed!
