The 30 Millions d'Amis Foundation, a French animal welfare organization, is urging the cancellation of puppy and kitten shows, commonly known as pet expos or pet fairs. These events, which attract thousands of visitors, typically feature breeders displaying young animals for sale. The foundation argues that such shows can negatively impact animal welfare. According to the foundation, these fairs often prioritize profit over the well-being of the animals. They claim that the conditions in which puppies and kittens are kept during these events may be stressful or unsuitable, increasing the risk of health issues. Additionally, the foundation is concerned that the presence of many animals in close proximity can facilitate the spread of diseases. Another major concern raised by the 30 Millions d'Amis Foundation is the potential for impulsive buying. They suggest that the emotional appeal of seeing young, healthy animals can lead potential buyers to make decisions without fully considering the long-term responsibilities of pet ownership. This, they argue, can result in pets being abandoned or neglected when the initial excitement fades. The foundation is not alone in its concerns. Similar criticisms have been raised by animal welfare groups in other countries, who argue that such shows can encourage irresponsible pet ownership. While some events claim to promote responsible breeding and education, the foundation believes that the risks outweigh the benefits and calls for a shift toward more ethical and sustainable ways of introducing people to pet ownership.
