Here is some of the language - beware: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getpage.cgi?position=all&page=S90 31&dbname 08_record By Mr. DURBIN (for himself, Mrs. FEINSTEIN, Mrs. MCCASKILL, and Mr. WYDEN): S.3519. A Bill to Amend the Animal Welfare Act to provide further protection for puppies; to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, today I am introducing the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety Act, or PUPS Act. In recent years, media reports have highlighted the cruel treatment of dogs raised by irresponsible breeders in large-scale commercial operations. The facilities operated by the most negligent owners are often referred to as puppy mills, because they churn out dogs the way a factory wouldb with little or no respect for the animalsb quality of life. *~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^* http://www.FairhopeGSD.com Dogs love is different.
