 | |  | | For any Missourians out there, please vote yes on prop B next Tues to stop puppy mill cruelty. Help our bow-wow siblings out! This law would not affect cats though but keeping breeders more accountable will help all of us pet owners.
Here's more on the issue for those of you who have not heard of it yet:
The issue
Proposition B, known as the “Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act,” would regulate puppy mills all over the state. The measure was proposed by Missourians for the Protection of Dogs, and more than $3.5 million have been raised from various agencies.
• If those voting “no” win, the status quo will be maintained.
• If those voting “yes” win, breeders will be required to give their dogs food, water, veterinary care, sufficient exercise space and protection from the elements. Each breeder will be limited to 50 dogs; they will be required to keep the temperature between 48 and 85 degrees, and they may not stack wire cages.
What’s at stake
Some argue that laws will hurt dog breeders’ business and that the economy will be affected. Other opponents think it will place too much government control on the puppy mills. |  |  | |  |

I'm against puppy mills but when HSUS is behind something you really should look into it deeper. They're just like PETA, they want TOTAL ANIMAL LIBERATION. No pets, no livestock, no interaction with animals!
