Your Give A Pet A Home campaign is an interesting response to a huge problem that has been around for many years (The Argus, August 19).

All the rehoming agencies have been dealing with this situation for decades.

The campaign should go further and address the problems, not the symptoms.

All but two of the pets pictured with the article are dogs. In my opinion, dog breeding is not a necessary or legitimate job – your campaign confirms that there are more than enough dogs for real dog lovers and many unwanted dogs are put down every year.
