How is that going to curb the puppy mills? The breeders aren't going to be affected by the proposal.
Many of them advertise on the net and will ship their dogs anywhere. |

yes i agree- and St louis Airport is only 25-30 miles from Wentzville- straight down Interstated 70! but no store can buyn from- or sell pups from a mill or no puppies can be delivered in Wentzville! and 1 town is better than 0- and we need to start somewhere!
pet stores are a big customer of puppy mills,and or brokers- from what i understand-also they cannot deliver puppies to ppl who have purchased one on line- almost forcing new owers to go to the place of breeding- which in many cases whould not be a good thing!
no- i agree- it will not stop them- but it will make it a hassel to sell their puppymill babies in that place!
just need more done to stop them
