I cannot for the life of me understand why you would support milling in your state. You have 2 dogs that are both from poor breeding that have had numerous health issues.
I come to this forum every day and see the sick dogs purchased from Pet Store that come from the mills. Most come from~guess where~ Missouri.  Why are there so many mills in your state? Because there is no regulations or the current regulations are not strong enough to be enforceable to shut them down.
Rachel~I think you need to become more informed and take note of what is being said all around you in this forum regarding the disgraceful treatment and the number of puppy mills in YOUR STATE. It isn't know as the Puppy Mill Capital for nothing. Missouri=Misery when is comes to Puppy Mills.
Do you know understand these killers shoot, beat to death, perform c-sections without vets or anesthesia on their dogs. They are crowded into cages and attack and kill each other. They live in filthy and with own waste their entire lives only to die when they are no longer useful to these horrible millers.
This is going on all around you. There are more mills in Missouri than any other state in the USA. Dogs are not meant to be agriculture. You have been sucked in by misrepresentation by lobbyists who's job is to suck you in to their way of thinking. They get big bucks as mentioned above to sway the uniformed with misinformation to stoke their agendas. The AKC makes millions from the mills why would the support this legislation? 
I firmly stand behind the HSUS and what they are trying to accomplish. If the USDA can't apply the current regulations to the epidemic that is going on them something more needs to be done. |
Jodi,
You know how I support good breeding and would do anything to stop puppy mills. However, a multitude of bills hit each state constantly and most do not address the millers alone they encompass the reputable breeder.
I have a multitude of information on HSUS from YTCA that I would have to obtain their permission to let you have it. HSUS is not what it seems. Their financial records are available for everyone to see, very little of their income goes to actual care of those poor animals that require it. When you have salaries within their organization upward in the 200,000 range, one tends to wonder. The majority of their money is spent on lobbying for "animal rights" and yes there is a difference between "rights" & "welfare"
