ITV News published this video item, entitled “Inside Scotland’s ‘battery farms’ where puppies are exploited by criminals for cash | ITV News” – below is their description.
Locked up, rarely fed and with little human interaction; this is the reality of illegal puppy breeding farms.
In a cold farm shed in central Scotland, dogs are living without fresh food or water, used solely to make money.
The illegal trade is worth £13 million in Scotland alone and is being linked to wider organised criminal gang networks.
ITV News was given exclusive access to a joint Scottish SPCA and Police Scotland raid on a low welfare facility.
