Have heard of the PAWS (Pet Animal Welfare Statute) 2005 that is being introduced in the US Senate as Bill 1139 and the US House of Representatives as Bill 2669. If these Bills gain passage they will have an affect on all hobby breeders, dog rescue groups and all imports of dogs. This legislation would require all breeding stock and puppies to be raised in commercial USDA Licensed kennels and sold through USDA Licensed retail businesses. This legislation will make it nearly impossible for the breed enthusiast to continue to breed, raise and sell dogs from their home. I urge each of you to take a serious look at this proposed legislation and contact your Senators and Congressional Representatives, as soon as possible, to let them know how you feel about these bills.
Conservative government growing itself - again.
How on earth can the government control something like your dog getting pregnant? Honestly, no humans have ever been able to control nature like this. The only result of this will be to create criminals out of innocent citizens. And huge packs of unwanted dogs. Not everybody can afford the spay and neuter of their pets. So they'll abandon them...talk about the law of unintended consequences.
