Crack Down on Puppy Mills Petition Site
Apr 21 2009, 12:20 AM EDT | Post edited: Apr 21 2009, 12:20 AM EDT
Puppy mills are inhumane commercial enterprises that breed dogs as often as possible without providing adequate veterinary care, food, water and socialization.

Assemblyman Pedro Nava recently introduced a bill to crack down on puppy mills in California. Called the Responsible Breeder Act of 2009, the new legislation would prevent the inherent cruelty associated with mass breeding of dogs.

Specifically, the bill would limit the number of intact -- not spayed or neutered -- dogs or cats a breeder can maintain to 50 animals, while creating exceptions for shelters, veterinary facilities and the like. The bill is patterned on legislation passed last year in Virginia, also with a cap of 50, and Louisiana, which imposes a 75-animal limit.

Let's help add California to this list of states that protect dogs in puppy mills and encourage responsible breeding practices -- please act today.
