Online puppy scam shines a stark light on the dark underbelly of the pet industry
In a recent exposé by BBC, the harrowing ordeal of a family duped by an online puppy scam shines a stark light on the dark underbelly of the pet industry (source: BBC News). The heartbreaking account underscores the urgent need for robust measures to prevent such tragedies and protect both pets and their prospective owners.
