We have mentioned Proposition B in several of our past blog postings, however I have recently discovered some more relevant evidence against it that I would like to share.
The first thing I would like to point out, current Missouri legislation that already regulates breeders—the Animal Care Facilities Act. The current legislation includes the same basic regulations being proposed in Prop B, and is actually even more detailed. View this for more information on the differences between the legislation.
So if Missouri already has legislation regulating “puppy mills,” why is there another proposition being pushed forward? Shouldn’t the focus be on enforcement and not more regulation?
The Alliance for Truth has a lot of information about the issue, including information about the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) who is credited with pushing the Proposition.
Individuals who are publically against this measure have come under fire for being “anti-puppy” or have been accused of being against animal welfare. However, take a look at some of the organizations who do not support Prop B.
• American Kennel Club
• Missouri Farm Bureau
• Missouri Veterinary Medical Association
• Other
You don’t have to take my word for it. Just please, please, please do your own research on the proposition before forming your opinion. And by research I don’t mean simply reading the proposition. Research the current legislation as well as what is considered to be good living conditions for dogs and puppies.
In other news, Rep. Munzlinger has been hitting the campaign trail hard in the past few weeks. He has held several more “Old Fashioned Picnics”, one on October 12 in Canton, MO and one on October 18 in Mexico, MO. He will also be attending a “Moms for Munzlinger Luncheon” this Thursday in Mexico. He also made an appearance this past Saturday in Kirksville at the Truman State homecoming parade.
Election Day is coming soon! Don’t forget to vote on November 2nd!
