Fraudsters are illegally selling sick puppies for thousands of pounds at a motorway service station in Kent. The dogs are advertised on the internet, and buyers are told to meet at Maidstone Services off the M20. One buyer spent £2,150 on a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel which became poorly three days after the purchase and later died.

But why oh why do people buy pups out of the backs of cars at service stations?

There are so many cases like this - and I think it has worsened since covid-19, as the crooks use the lockdown rules as excuses that they have to meet in car parks/service stations etc, as you are not allowed to meet at the home (true enough), but still, then people should wait to get a puppy rather than buying pups at service stations. One of the reasons these unlawful breeders survive is because people will buy the puppies. It is a "supply and demand" situation. If everybody went to reputable breeders, we would not be in this situation. I feel sorry for the puppies, they are not being treated right from the word go, through no fault of their own.
