Central Daylight Time Subj: [TX_RPOA_E-News] Dallas Morning News Austin "puppymill" article TX-RPOA E-News >From RPOA Texas Outreach and Responsible Pet Owners Alliance "Animal welfare, not animal 'rights' and, yes, there is a difference." Permission granted to crosspost. July 26, 2010 This article below belongs on the editorial page or in a paid advertisement in the Dallas Morning News. Is Reporter Erin Mulvaney moonlighting for Texas Humane Legislation Network (THLN) now, the state coalition of "animal rights" extremists? This is her second article pushing for the HSUS and THLN bill being filed next legislative session, the misnamed "puppymill" bill which defines a "puppymiller" as the owner of a certain number of intact female dogs and cats. Yes, cats! Of course, the intent of that bill is the same as with the pet stores Erin denigrates so eloquently. Stop ALL pet breeding and sales of pets! My, my, isn't it obvious by now? Where do these morons think future pets will come from? Oh, I forgot. That IS the agenda. To them, there is no such thing as a "responsible" breeder. Puppies and kittens don't grow on trees. Dog and cat shows are also under attack, not only pet stores. Just ask Jonnie England who is quoted in the article. Competition dog and cat breeders don't produce litters to supply the pet trade as they breed for competition in conformation and performance events. They usually have waiting lists of buyers. ALL breeders are regulated by Texas Animal Cruelty laws, the strictest in the nation! Where will your next pet come from, whatever the species? Or will tofu and that stuffed animal work for you?
