Law Makers Deem Anti-Puppy Mill Law Is "Too Costly"

This is bull sh*t!

Missouri voters thought they scored a big win against some of the nation’s most notorious puppy mills when they approved strict new dog breeding regulations last year. BUT NOW state lawmakers are changing the rules.

A state law aimed at cracking down on disreputable breeders and improving animal care has been overhauled by lawmakers who say the voter-approved version is too costly, and punished legitimate dog-breeders who generate an estimated $1 billion annually in the state. Animal advocates complain elected officials are overruling the will of the people and some are prepared to put the issue on the ballot again next year.

The president of the Humane Society of the United States, said public confidence is undercut when about 100 lawmakers change a law backed by about 1 million voters.

So True! Puppy mills breed a mass number of dogs in horrible conditions.

If the public votes puppy mills unlawful – they should be illegal!
