I have no confidence that this law, will do one whit to bad breeders who happen to sell over the internet.
How will APHIS police this? Who will bear the cost of policing this if even that is possible.
I will look for the link to the actual regulations again. |
You spoke out about what you thought the law would do, not about how to make a law that would help cover those dogs who aren't covered. No one came up with any suggestions for that. The Pdf, I linked covers one of your questions.
Q: How will USDA identify breeders who may need
to be regulated?
A: APHIS will use various methods to access publicly available
information to identify and inform those
individuals who may need an AWA commercial
breeding license. These methods include evaluating
customer complaints against breeders and Internet
retailers, as well as reviewing the marketing and
promotional materials of breeders and Internet retailers.
In addition, we will review public information available
online to identify sellers that potentially meet the
definition of commercial breeder in the AWA. By
viewing publicly available information, APHIS can
educate individuals about the AWA, and if needed,
assist them with obtaining licenses. This will ensure
that all animals that should be covered by the AWA will
receive humane care and treatment.
