Grrrrrr to Opponents of Missouri Puppy Mill Ban

[phesina]

I passed this information on to a friend of mine whom I first met when I lived in Cambridge (we both volunteered at a cat shelter there) who now lives in Oregon... she grew up around St. Louis. I sent it to her in the hopes that she still knows people there she can pass it on to.

I haven't heard back from her yet, but I know she is swamped with her job (teacher for special-needs children) and her own several animals and all the animals around Springfield OR she is working to rescue..

There's always idiots who want to have their say.

The bill passed.

November 3, 2010
Puppy mill bill passes in Missouri

The extremely controversial bill intended to crack down on large-scale Missouri breeders narrowly passed last night.

The Kansas City Star reports that the bill had about 51 percent of the vote with nearly all precincts reporting. Known as the "puppy mill bill," Proposition B would limit the number of breeding dogs a breeder could have, increase living space for animals, expand requirements for vet care and create criminal penalties for those who violate these standards.

The bill will become law next November.

I found another, larger, article about this.
