However, once you pay that small fee, there isn't a cap to how many you can have! I'm sure bybs pay the fee and then give the least amount of legal care and no one can do anything about it. A lot of new proposed laws will harm the reputable breeders who follow rules, and not really harm those who don't follow the rules in the first place.
| making the representatives aware that people want a change it a step in the right direction. The only way they know people don't want these BYB's and puppy mills to exist is by calling them and discussing it. Or write an email. There's power in the number of concerned people when they tell the rep. about a certain subject.
If they limit the dogs, I would suggest no loop holes. I think a limit of 6 would be more than enough. In ohio we get people that have 20+ dogs, uncared for- and not just a few, but many. They're on the news sometimes once a week for a month. It's sad to see. |
