About 50% purchases a pet in the pet shop in Japan.On the other hand, the actual condition of the pet secondary market has came to be criticized in recent years. It is some dishonest traders’ cause.

The dishonest trader has bred the pet under the circumstance like non satellite. They produce the pet in the unsuitable breeding plan. They lack the respect to pet, so that it is called “puppy mill (little dog factory).” New prevention of cruelty to animal act specifies the animal-related business’s norm concretely. This is also called “numerical regulatory.” Numerical regulatory cannot be said to be the optimal solution in animal welfare’s viewpoint. The objective norm will contribute to the dishonest trader’s eradication.

I got to know that many dogs and cats had been slaughtered at the time of junior high school student. I think that the situation of the pet industry is changing in the good orientation.

There is also an opinion that it should be stopped the pet sale from the viewpoint of animal protection. I think that it is difficult to stop pet sale at present. If in demand, it will only be developed in underground society which dogs and cats are placed by more severer circumstance

I am managing the matching site of the protection dogs and cats. Therefore, I am regarded as the animal protection person. However, there are problems in the protection industry. What we are aiming is the society which the life of dogs and cats are respected.
