| I'm hoping this legislation will trickle down into the smaller cities where this is a huge problem. I'm about 2 hrs southwest of Nashville in western TN and we see this all the time. Granted, yes, my family has gotten free puppies that are mutts from the side of the road, but we figured they were safer with us than there so we took them home and never had a problem with them. But now I don't approve of it for any dog even if the dogs are free. The other day I saw a truck selling Yorkies and shih-tzus on the side of the road here in my town and I was appalled! I almost called my husband and asked if I could stop and get one to save it! |

| That is great news. I hope they pass that law statewide. They need to stop sales in the flea markets too. We don't have the problem with roadside sales in the county where I live, but it is a smaller community. But I have seen people at the big flea market on the interstate in Sevierville with dogs for sale.

| I have to say that the Flea Markets in IL that I have been to do not allow the sale of live animals. I'd never heard of people on the side of the road selling puppies until I read it on YT. It should not be allowed at all anywhere whatsoever!
