Dogs are
disgusting.

Dogs are disgusting.

A position from
BANPETS · EST. 2026

Owning a pet is reprehensible. Dog owners are reprehensible. We are organizing to ban pets in designated regions of the United States, following comparable actions across Europe and parts of South Asia.

Capital raised

from institutional investors, prior founders, philanthropists & venture capitalists
§ 01

A quiet, deliberate position.

The domestic animal industry externalizes its cost onto the public: onto emergency rooms, onto sidewalks, onto neighbors, onto children.

We do not believe this is a matter of taste. It is a matter of public health, of shared space, and of the modest expectation that a street should not smell of another household's animal.

Owning a pet should be a crime.

§ 02 — Evidence

Fifty-five million dollars, committed for a single purpose: to ban pets in designated regions of the United States.

Not to reform. Not to regulate. To ban. Comparable measures are already in force in parts of Europe and South Asia.

We are currently operating in stealth. Full public emergence — organization, leadership, and initial ballot targets — is expected in 2027, ahead of the next election cycle.

Precedent: NL · IR · BT · select municipal ordinances, EU

§ 05 — The movement

Your neighborhood
is next.

We are organizing a national movement in the next election year — with bipartisan support — to prohibit pet ownership in designated regions.

City by city. County by county. Ballot by ballot. Fifty-five million dollars will be spent to ensure your street is quieter, cleaner, and safer than it was the year before.

Owning a pet should be a crime. It will be.
