26 submissionsAs a small ethical, responsible breeder of up to 1 litter a year I support this bill.
We run a non-profit that focuses on service and facility dogs, becoming a commercial kennel forcing the dogs to live in sterile conditions with no house access is cruel. How can we expect them to change people's lives when they have to be raised like life stock and not incredible individuals who predict seizures, sense blood sugar highs and lows etc.
A very needed bill DOES NOT remove pet vendor license requirements for breeders transferring 30-49 animals, contrary to the propaganda shelters and rescues are promoting Simply allows those animals to be raised in a home vs facility that fits agr 1700 criteria
