A petition backing Stout's Law has been launched online, urging the government to introduce stricter animal cruelty laws.
Campaigners are calling for new legislation, known as Stout's Law, to tackle illegal and unethical backyard breeding after the death of a puppy.
The 11-week-old dog, named Stout, died following health complications linked to poor breeding practices, including alleged inbreeding.
Animal welfare advocates say such cases are common and argue that stronger punishments are needed to deter breeders operating for profit at the expense of animal welfare.
A petition backing Stout's Law has been launched online, urging the government to introduce stricter animal cruelty laws.
Speaking to Kfm, Tara O'Connor, who adopted the pup, said the campaign has strong political support.
She is calling for an Independent regulator as she believes local authorities are not effective.
Separately, Kildare County Council has confirmed it does not keep a log of complaints, has no record of enforcement actions, and holds no internal reviews related to dog breeding establishments in the county.
