Ontario bans puppy mills with the PUPS Act, imposing fines for violations and inbreeding restrictions.
Ontario has banned puppy mills with the Preventing Unethical Puppy Sales Act (PUPS Act), but critics argue the law may not effectively curb the problem. The new law imposes a minimum $10,000 penalty and $25,000 for dog deaths, with fines multiplied for each dog. It also prohibits inbreeding, breeding female dogs more than three times in two years, and breeding younger than a year old, as well as being a broker for puppy mills.
