This was run in the Dispatch this morning, PLEASE contact your
legislators.... www.legislature-.state.oh.us
read the BILL first:
http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=126_HB_606
There are already laws in Ohio to prevent to problems spoken of in this
letter to the editor.
All this bill does is generate income for the state/county and endanger
those of us who own fewer than 9 "breeding" dogs.
In other words, most hobby/show breeders.
> It’s time for state to ban puppy mills
>
>
> Ohio holds a title no state would want: the second largest
puppy-millproducing state in the country. It’s a badge of shame, and our
state legislators can change that with one simple vote.
> Hundreds of bills are pending in the legislature, and our senators and
representatives have just 15 days to decide which ones pass and which ones
fail.
> While 99.9 percent of the bills affect people, there is one lone
companion bill ( Senate Bill 242 and House Bill 606 ) that could affect the
lives of thousands of abused, neglected dogs and puppies in Ohio’s shameful
mills.
> Many of the mills have 100, 200, 300 dogs, most in outdoor wire cages,
not protected from the freezing cold and wind of winter or the scorching
heat of summer.
> Dogs are jammed in cages so tightly that they cannot turn around; wire
impressions are imbedded in their flesh, and dog waste accumulates at their
feet and drops in from above.
> This proposed legislation will set, for the first time, minimum
standards for kennels operating in Ohio. It’s simple: Comply, or the state
will shut you down.
> So, in those final 15 days of the session, I plan to let my
legislators know that, while I know there is very important legislation to
pass for the people of Ohio, it’s not too much to ask that they pass one
bill for the dogs and puppies who don’t need to spend another winter
outside.
> I urge all Ohioans to contact their legislators and ask for them to
support these bills. Visit www.legislature-.state.oh.us for information on
contacting legislators in a certain district.
> If they don’t hear from us, they’ll move on to the other bills that
await them.
