You can not LEGISLATE morality! There are already laws in every State to deal with these animal abuses....let the States appropriate the necessary man power/salaries to enforce the laws already on the books. PUNISH THE PERPETRATORS!! The answer is NOT to get a strangle hold on all breeders, driving the responsible ones out of business with insurmountable additional fees and regulations that it just is not worth the expense and effort to comply with....so a breeder that has healthy, beautiful babies that are everything a puppy SHOULD be, just folds up and quits. WHO does that affect? The person wanting such a pet....so now where do they go? They go to flea markets, the trunks of cars off the highway, parking lots, etc.....and they end up with exactly what the government thinks they are going to stop!
