Animal Defenders of Westchester (ADOW) ~ Tell New York State Legislators to Support/Endorse the New York State Puppy Mill Pipeline Bill

UPDATE: NYS PUPPYMILL PIPELINE BILL
PER SENATOR GIANARIS' OFFICE: There has been no movement thus far for the
NYS Puppy Mill Pipeline bill (A4283/S11230). The bill finished in the
Rules committee, so the Assembly rules will require it to return to
Codes. It has to be voted on again by the Senate, which did pass it last
year.
Please continue politely but strongly contacting legislators in the NYS Senate and the Assembly (contact info below), asking them to sponsor and support this important bill; also ask Speaker of the NYS Assembly Carl Heastie to help and move this bill onto the floor for a House vote when it comes before him.
Call and email Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie:
(518) 455-3791 Albany Office
(718) 654-6539 Bronx District Office

Bailing out Benji,
a group specifically dedicated to ending puppy mills, has prepared a
pre-drafted form you can easily use to to contact your legislators.
From Bailing out Benji:
As you know, the State of New York is home to nearly
100 puppy-selling pet stores and their main source for puppies is
midwest puppy mills. According to records we received from the New York
Department of Agriculture, New York State imports and resells more than
12,000 puppies annually from those puppy mills, which only burdens our local
shelters and rescues.
With your help, we can stop that!
The Puppy Mill Pipeline Bill (A 4283 / S 1130) has been re-introduced into
the New York State Assembly and it would prevent local puppy-stores from
partnering with puppy mills. Today we need you to contact your state
legislators and ask them to support this bill! We have created an
easy form for you to fill out with a pre-drafted message that you can
edit. You can also find your legislations and contact them
directly here.
We have also posted this on our
New York Facebook page, if you would like to share to get more support
for this bill. We need every NY pet lover to speak up and show the
legislature that this issue is very important to advocates in our state.
If you are interested in taking more of an active role in our state to help
us fight puppy mills, please feel free to
contact us here about becoming a volunteer.
Thank you so much for your time and for your advocacy on this issue!
Together we can end puppy mills once and for all!
