Over here in California, there is legislation called AB 1634 which endorses and fully exempts commercial breeders (aka puppy mills) and breeders of animals used for research from some new legislation.

The current language of the bill further more mandates that immature dogs be bred before being health tested. I think the supporters are not reading the bill.

There have been opinions voicing support for above bill from some members of this message board. It can be seen here. The point is many people feel that the bill is only going to help save lives of some animals. They are not aware, or must be comfortable with the fine print they are supporting.

There is also what started out as a well meaninged bill in New Jersey, to fight various types of animal abuse, more elements have been added to that bill now, which gives no exemption for some types of care necessary for animals.

Many of the academic forums I'm on have people trying to raise awareness of these problems. But on many social forums with "regular people", if one so much dares as point out 'no fix' and 'broken' problems with various 'feel good' legislation, others assume that the person speaking must be a bad guy.

At least the California Veterinary Medical Association has given up on the bill and withdrawn support for AB 1634.

But celebrities who are busy promoting their images like being seen in the limelight and are very busy sinking money into passing this bill. Some celebs have bought their pets from such places like this.
