**Regarding "puppymills"**

S4961A Oppenheimer (same as A 7983A Paulin)
Redefines "pet dealer" by REMOVING the exemption for residential/hobby  
breeders and ADDING "any person who SELLS, OFFERS FOR SALE OR  
NEGOTIATES THE SALE OR PURCHASE OF ANIMALS BORN OR RAISED ON ANOTHER
PREMISES; (B) KEEPS ON HIS OR HER PREMISES MORE THAN FOUR INTACT FEMALE
DOGS SIX MONTHS OF AGE OR OLDER FOR THE PURPOSE OF BREEDING SUCH DOGS"

The proposal also adds numerous requirements for care of animals by  
"pet dealers" including veterinary protocols, exercise, and more. Also  
requires pet dealers to authorize release of their records with breed  
registries and veterinarians to New York State or its agents.

S5392A Squadron (same as A7285 Paulin)
Prohibits ownership or custody of more than 50 intact dogs or cats

Allows for seizure of dogs or cats if any person or business "has in  
its care" more than 50 intact dogs or cats over the age of 4 months.  
Note that such animals may be sold off or killed by the impounding  
agency if security bond requirements are not met within five days.

Please join the Dog Federation of New York in opposing these bills and  
immediately write or phone NYS Agriculture Committee Chair Darrel  
Aubertine and the Agriculture committee members to express your  
concern regarding such extremist proposals. If enacted, both will  
devastate lawful, humane pet breeders.

As always, be brief, be polite, mention the bill number and "oppose"  
in the subject line
