I live in PA, and believe me I want the puppy mills shut down!
But...I heard a radio interview a couple of weeks back with a couple of inhome breeders with small, one breed operation.
They said this legislation would also be putting them out of business. They said they would not be able to meet all of the requirements (cost) and that the number of dogs in their place in an entire year are the number that are counted to determine whether or not they need to comply. I forget the exact number, but it seems to me it was surprisingly low.
I'd love to hear if anyone here has more information on that. Before I send my letter, I need to look into this more.
What about our great pa breeders here??? Maybe one of them can shed some light. |
