Puppy mills

[lisa]

hello, Ive started a petition on trying to ban puppy mills across the U.S, but the thing is that every state has different laws dealing with animals. I wanted to know how can something like these get the attention to other states congressmen and goverment attention. They might see this as not there problem or that there maybe other things more important. But what they fail to realize is that its important to people like us who want this to stop from happening. What will catch the attention of these people or other people. Ive even gone as far as emailing Oprah. What would you do?.

I think you need to point out to the legislators that even if their state doesn't have many puppy mills that it doesn't mean that they don't have a puppy mill problem. The fact that there are pet stores in their state selling puppies from puppy mills means that they have a problem with sick dogs being sold to consumers in their state. Pet stores are merely the outlets for puppy mill puppies.

And none of the states have strong laws to protect dogs from the abuses prevalent in puppy mills. All states could strenghen their laws and could have better enforcement for their existing laws in relation to puppy mills.
