Indiana House Bill 1468,
You can read the Bill for yourself. House Bill 1468 This will affect all breeders having 5 puppies a year. Not five litters, FIVE PUPPIES. Existing government legislation already covers ILLEGAL AND INHUMANE TREATMENT such as puppy mills, now they want to be over responsible breeders too. This bill has an hidden agenda. This bill is meant to affect responsible breeders and law abiding citizens. This bill will just force the illegal puppy mills further underground. If irradication of "puppy mills" is the goal then enforcement of the laws and statutes already in place would take care of that. All responsible breeders who are already under the strict observation of the AKC know that poor conditions and poor treatment of our pets is not tolerated and will result in your expulsion from the AKC. PUPPY MILLS DO NOT OPERATE WITH AKC MEMBERSHIP OR UNDER THEIR OBSERVATION!
