Dear Mrs. Johnson:

Thank you for contacting me about your support for the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act (S. 3424). It's great to hear from you.

I absolutely agree with you that we need to protect the animals from the cruel conditions in puppy mills. Whether it's supporting legislation that calls for an end to the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals or the needless duplication of research when animals are used, I've always been a strong supporter of animal rights. You can count on me to continue my efforts to encourage the humane treatment of animals.

The PUPS Act would require all breeders that sell more than fifty dogs a year to be licensed and inspected. This would also close the internet loophole that puppy mills are currently exploiting. S. 3424 is now being considered by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. I will keep your comments in mind should this legislation come before the full Senate.

Again, thanks for writing. If I can be any assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Sincerely,
Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator
