Many of the puppy mills are not legal to begin with, so this won't affect them. Many others will go underground, sell out of state, and in parking lots.
If you owned 4 intact females and had a litter or 2 a year, how would you feel about having to be fingerprinted, like you're a criminal, or having AC knocking on your door at any time to "inspect" your home and conditions?
It's getting to be a crime to own a dog, never mind own a couple of intact dogs.
This is nothing more than anti breeding legislation ... period! |
If you don't breed, in my book the animals should be spayed/neutered anyway to cut down on unwanted pregnancies. So, I'm all for that bill! As far as puppymills, well, that would be included, because they would have over the amt of dogs that they are allowing!
