Dear Friend,
I thought you might be interested in this HSUS campaign to increase
protections for dogs and cats at mass breeding facilities.
As you know, puppy mills are large scale breeding operations that churn out
animals with little regard for humane treatment.
What you may not know is that many of these operations are classified as
"pet stores," because they sell directly to the public through the Internet
or newspaper ads, and therefore are exempt from the minimum standards of
care required by the Animal Welfare Act.
Members of Congress have introduced PAWS, the Pet Animal Welfare Statute, to
require these operations to be licensed by the USDA and to follow the Animal
Welfare Act. I hope you will join me in urging your members of Congress to
support PAWS. It only takes a minute. Here is the link:
