Dogs Trust, with the help of Animal Rights Protection Lithuania, has undertaken two investigations looking at the illegal import of puppies across the EU. Despite conclusive evidence from the 1st investigation being presented to the EU and national government along with a series of urgent recommendations set out by Dogs Trust to help curb the trade, the puppy trafficking trade has continued unabated. In early 2015, Dogs Trust went back into Eastern Europe to highlight that the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is still being used as a cover by commercial breeders and dealers in Lithuania and Romania on a regular basis to illegally import puppies, often in horrendous conditions, and transporting them thousands of miles without their mothers.

‘ownership’ (human carer).

study)

What do we need to know (basics):
• Number of dogs on the street
• Dynamics of the ‘stray’ population (owned vs stray,
welfare, sex, age, females lactating/pregnant, puppies)
• Resource access: what keeps the dogs alive and
reproducing
• Size of owned dog population
• Public attitudes toward strays? Toward their own dogs?
• Public awareness of connection between stray and
owned (‘stray’ might be owned roaming, but creating
puppies)
• Public awareness and attitudes toward principles of
responsible pet ownership (vaccination, sterilisation,
controlled reproduction)
• What are people’s concerns? Rabies? Bites? Barking?
• Do people want dogs on the street? vs. Do people want
dogs killed?
• Will people tolerate community dogs if safe/healthy, not
aggressive and sterilised?
• Why do people own dogs?
• How do they treat their owned dogs? Training?
• Do people let their dogs roam? Abandon?
• What do they do with unwanted puppies when their dog
gets pregnant?
• What are most common issues that people cannot cope
with (causing abandonment)? Disease, behaviour,
money, etc.
• Dogs
• Public Attitude (What
people think, what
people want)
• Human Behaviour
(What people do)

ICAM is NOT about us coming in, as outsiders, telling you what to do.
Not a solution. Not an intervention, like TNR. It’s a process! Different results with different stakeholders. Different parties have different interests.
This has implications for reproductive capacity!
Liviu Harbuz questionnaire results!
Walks through a process that starts with assessment and therefore understanding of the cause.
