Representative Munzlinger will be joined by Sen. Bill Stouffer (R-Napton) at a dinner meeting Tuesday for the Randolph Area Pachyderm Club to discuss the immediate future of Missouri agriculture and agribusiness. The two Missouri leaders will also be addressing the controversial Proposition B, which will be on the November ballot.
Prop B, the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act, has been the recipient of debate and controversy, both within the General Assembly and among the Missouri voting public. The Missouri Farm Bureau, of which Munzlinger is a member, has led a strong campaign against the passing of the November measure. The organization is concerned that the ballot measure is just the first step taken by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in a greater plan to eliminate all animal agriculture.
Advocates of Prop B have rooted their message in pathos, certain that a strongly worded ballot measure — Who do you know would say they’re against the prevention of puppy mill cruelty? — would be an easy emotional sell in a state infamous for its puppy mill rings. It will be interesting to hear the viewpoints Rep. Munzlinger and Sen. Stouffer present to those in attendance Tuesday evening, as well as the feedback from the agriculturally-based crowd of voters.
The dinner meeting is open to all interested citizens, regardless of political affiliation. More information and reservations are available by contacting Pachyderm secretary Laurel Seeley at 660-277-4425 or laurels@cvalley.net.
