The problem with most "anti-puppy mill" legislation is wording gets snuck into it by the so called "animal rights" people that makes legitimate breeding difficult if not impossible. Texas has lately shown itself to be in the leading edge of animal ownership unfriendly legislature.
I agree, though. If you are going to ask us to support one side or another of a legislative bill, please include a good clear cut link to the actual bill as well as your reasons why we should support your side.

I had to go looking in several different places to find out what this is. Could posters at least say what they are about. After reading it seams that it is against puppy mills. Am I correct?

Help us and AKC fight HB 1451 in Texas tomorrow
AKC is joining to help Texas fight HB1451. This is a big step for AKC to take, so let's join them and help defeat this insanity. There are already laws on the books to prevent animal cruelty. Making hobby breeders into commercial breeders does not protect animals.
