Episode Details

Andorra’s bold new animal welfare law tackles pet trafficking by legalizing regulated breeding and sales—yes, even as shelters brace for controversy. With 16,000 registered pets (more than school kids!), officials argue oversight beats bans, which could fuel black-market abuse. The law mandates traceability, inspections, and humane housing for breeders while cracking down on dog-related damage with fines up to €5,000 and potential “dangerous animal” labels. It also bans wild animals in circuses, restricts pet ownership, and offers emergency shelter for abused owners—and yes, no more public feeding of strays. Animal rights groups? Not happy. They insist adoption should be the only path, fearing even regulated breeding risks animal welfare.
