Good news: The New York State Senate just passed
Bill S.4234-A, which prohibits the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits by retail
pet shops, and authorizes space for adoption, and the bill has been
delivered to the Assembly!
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR ASSEMBLY MEMBERS ASAP AND REQUEST THAT THEY PASS
COMPANION BILL A.6298-A which will protect thousands of animals from
suffering for the sake of profit. NYS has one of the country's highest
number of puppy-selling pet stores.

Puppies in mills are found with bleeding or swollen paws, feet falling through the wire cages, severe tooth decay, ear infections, dehydration, and lesions on their eyes, which often lead to blindness. In most states, puppy mills are legal and were started by the government as an alternate 'crop' for farmers and promoted by the USDA. See:
THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR THE ANIMALS - LET'S GET THIS BILL ON THE GOVERNOR'S DESK!
