Lawmakers looked at grim photographs of injured and neglected dogs in Indiana on Thursday before approving legislation aimed at limiting unregulated, large-scale dog breeding operations. Bill sponsor Rep. Linda Lawson, D-Hammond, said puppy mills are a problem across the state.... The legislation would add requirements for commercial dog breeders, defined as those with adult dogs that produce 10 or more litters a year. Breeders would be limited to 30 adult dogs that are not spayed and neutered. The bill also requires commercial breeders to provide dogs with sanitary conditions and an hour of exercise a day, and breeders could not hire staff members if they have been convicted of animal cruelty.... The legislation passed the Democrat-controlled House on an 81-14 vote and now moves to the GOP-ruled Senate for consideration. Here's the link..
