Thanks red98vett! I sent that link to everyone as well :)

Good work - that's really great you're doing that - I emailed it out too - Thanks for posting it -

I just watched Pillow Talk! I love Doris Day.

This is a very bad bill as its written that does nothing to help the welfare of puppies or stop mills. Many good breeders will quit breeding rather than have to be USDA regulated and keep their beloved dogs in kennels away from their house.

PETA is for this bill as "a good start".

AKC is dropping the ball here. Even their board is split on this bill. The YTCA is officially against it.

Eventually this bill may leave puppy buyers with only BYB's breeding "fluffy and Muffy" once in a while and pet shops to get a pup.

It may and probably will also effect people who rescue more than 25 dogs a year.


Read some of the reasons why good breeders are against this bill.

Puppy Mill Campaign

Congress Introduces Bill to End Puppy Mill Abuse
May 26, 2005 -- Today the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives introduced a bill to regulate large, commercial pet breeding operations that sell directly to the public. This bill, entitled the Pet Animal Welfare Statute (S. 1139/H.R. 2669) will close a loophole that exempts the sale of puppies over the Internet and through newspaper ads.

Young puppies are often transported across state lines to unsuspecting consumers who are unable to see the conditions the animal was bred in.

“This bill is long overdue and truly welcomed by the humane community,” said Sara Amundson of DDAL. "This is a significant first step in seeking parity between the federal Animal Welfare Act’s requirements for large, commercial breeders selling to pet stores and to the public."
Ask your Members of Congress to support S. 1139/H.R. 2669.

What is a "Puppy Mill?"
A "puppy mill" is a facility that continuously breeds female dogs, housing them and their puppies in deplorable conditions. Inadequate food, water, sanitation, constant exposure to the elements and dilapidated housing are commonplace.

Because of these inhumane conditions, many puppies sold from these mills suffer from chronic physical ailments and may be fearful of people and other animals. These inhumane and abusive conditions have been the subjects of television reports and newspaper articles nationwide. Read U.S. Representative Ed Whitfield's editorial on puppy mill legislation.
