The Puppy Mill Project in Cook County, Chicago has iformed us that the ground-breaking new legislation that was just passed to stop pet stores from selling puppy mill - puppies is going to be amended because the people that breed and sell the puppies have fought back!!



They have now made a loophole in the legislation saying that so long as the puppy mill hasn't had any violations recorded against them in the last two years that they can keep selling the puppies to pet stores!!



This is a huge step backwards in what could be a ground breaking change to help end the suffering of so many dogs!!

"If pet stores started bringing in shelter dogs to re-home instead of puppy mill dogs, the public will start to understand about the overpopulation problem and hopefully adopt a rescue dog. If they don't adopt a dog at least they will have a seed planted and go away with more knowledge and information then when they went into the pet store. Chances are they might just fall in love with a wonderful rescue that wags their happy tail at them." - Wendy Ridley



If you feel strongly about helping end the unessesary suffering in shelters and puppy mills please write to this commissioner who was one of the people who initially created the new legislation and now is being swayed by the breeders and pet stores to amend their original legislation!!



Please speak up and let them know they have our support to stick to their convictions and ending the abuse for good!! This is in Cook County which is in Chicago but it has to start somewhere!!



Please share this with anyone else that you think will care enough to speak up or maybe even post it on Facebook!!



Thanks!!
