Reintroduced New Jersey Bill Bad News For Breeders
[Friday, January 18, 2008]
Assemblyman Neil Cohen and Assemblywoman Joan Voss have introduced
Assembly Bill 1591, a bill which threatens the rights of responsible
breeders in New Jersey. This bill is a reintroduction of 2006's AB
3401. Fanciers, concerned dog owners, and responsible breeders should
immediately contact their representatives in the New Jersey State
Legislature, and the members of the Assembly Agriculture and Natural
Resources Committee who will first hear this bill, and express their
vehement opposition to this bill.
The bill defines a breeder as any person who sells or offers to sell
more than five puppies per year. In addition to this incredibly low
threshold, the bill requires breeders to comply with a host of
restrictive regulations and institutes steep fines for violations.
AB 1591 also prohibits any breeder from selling more than 25 dogs in
one year.
The American Kennel Club vehemently opposes AB 1591's attempt to
effectively outlaw breeding in New Jersey. Responsible breeders give
the individual care and human contact that each puppy needs in order
to grow into a healthy, well-adjusted companion and neighbor. Forcing
responsible breeders out of business would deprive citizens of a most
valuable resource when purchasing a pet.
