TSPCA調查部門在2013年接獲一起案件通報。舉報內容為寵物店的動物過度擁擠。但經現場拜訪，竟發現該寵物店並未主動向主管機關申請營業許可，遂逕自非法經營犬隻的繁殖、買賣。經過協會的臥底蒐證，也清楚紀錄到了店員向我們表示，大部分店內的犬隻都是自行繁殖以及販售，有些甚至還會外銷到國外。最後因錄影、錄音證據完備，台北市動物保護處也在2014年年初，依據動物保護法第22條以及25-1條處以新台幣五萬元罰鍰。
經協會長期追蹤，在2015年我們再度掌握了業者非法販賣犬隻的情報，為了杜絕不肖業者持續違法販賣犬隻，協會也再度派員蒐證。同時也更加確定店家仍持續非法販賣犬隻、罔顧動物福利。由於罪證確鑿，台北市動保處也已於2015年7月二度開罰，且因業者一再違法、惡性不改，最後也加重兩倍罰鍰至新台幣十萬元罰鍰。
由於該寵物店即使已曾受罰，仍一再違法並私自販賣犬隻，毫無悔改之意。所以TSPCA也將在此公告該寵物店之部分資訊。希望藉由社會大眾的力量，讓該寵物店了解其所做所為是錯誤、違法的行為。若有民眾得知該店家還有在販賣犬隻的話，也請立即與TSPCA調查部門聯繫，謝謝。

根據動物保護法規定，若要進行犬隻的繁殖、買賣，就必須要申請「特定寵物業許可證」。除了店家必須將許可證掛在清楚可見之處，在店家網站上也必須要有許可證字號。若民眾仍有疑慮的話，也可至農委會提供的網站查詢合法的店家資訊。(查詢網址: http://animal.coa.gov.tw/html3/index_07.php)當然，TSPCA仍要再次不厭其煩的呼籲社會大眾「以領養代替購買」，若沒有市場需求，也將能從根本來杜絕非法繁殖業者的大量繁殖。
TSPCA investigation department received a report in 2013 concerning the overcrowding of animals in a pet store. A field investigation revealed that the store had not submitted a business permit to the authorities and was illegally breeding and selling dogs. During an undercover mission, the shop clerk disclosed that most of the dogs in their store were illegally bred and sold, with some even exported to other countries. Based on the thorough video and audio evidence obtained, the store was fined 50,000 NTD by the Taipei City Animal Protection and Health Inspection Department based on Animal Protection Act articles 22 and 25-1, early in 2014.
With persistent follow-ups, we again gathered information regarding the illegal selling of dogs from the same supplier. In order to put an end to the illegal sales and breeding for good, TSPCA again went undercover, collecting further evidence that the pet store was still illegally selling dogs and had no concerns for the dogs’ welfare needs. With solid proof, the Taipei City Animal Protection and Health Inspection again fined the offender with a double penalty for a repeat offense in July of 2015, the fine having been doubled to 100,000 NTD.
TSPCA has decided to announce the details of this pet store on account of their repeated offences and lack of remorse, in hopes that with a lack of support from the public due to their illegal activities and disregard for animal welfare, they will come to comprehend the improper and unlawful nature of this business and swiftly change their ways of doing business. Please contact the TSPCA investigation department if you notice any illegal sales or questionable animal welfare at any pet store in Taiwan.

Based on the Animal Protection Act, the shop needs to apply for a “special pet breeding and selling license” in order to continue business. The shop needs to exhibit the permit visibly in the shop, as well as register online. If you have any concerns, you can also find more information on the Council of Agriculture’s website:

Again, TSPCA would like to remind the public to “Adopt, don’t shop”. Without a demand in the market, it is easier to eliminate unlawful breeding activities.
Law Facts:
Animal Protection Act Article 22:
Any person who operates, for commercial profit, pet breeding, trading or keeping businesses of specially designated pets shall apply for permits from the competent authorities for special municipalities, counties or cities and obtain business permit in accordance with relevant regulations before begin operation.
