Press Release: Pet Protection Bill Deserves
Support
AB 536 is a Common Sense Solution to Prevent Suffering
A bill (AB 536) to
prevent abuse and neglect of animals by sleazy breeders is currently stuck in a
state legislative committee, just like unloved animals are stuck in dirty cages
filled to the brim at puppy mills around the state. If this bill is killed many
animals will suffer and die too. A new law to guarantee minimum standards of
humane care is desperately needed.
On a daily basis,
animals that were originally obtained from puppy mills and other unscrupulous
breeders are surrendered to [shelters, humane societies, and animal rescues]
because they are sick, aggressive or behave badly. These animals have been
treated poorly since birth.
Puppy mill pets
don't received proper care, love or nutrition. They are abused and neglected,
solely to profit the breeder or pet store they are sold at.
Sick pets are also
a consumer protection problem. People often end up paying hundreds or thousands
of dollars in veterinary bills to (hopefully) cure a puppy mill pet.
[Shelters, rescues
and other animal welfare organizations] will also have to comply with AB 536,
if passed, and we are happy to do so. We already provide care and treatment for
animals far above the minimum standards set forth in the legislation, and there
is no reason others cannot do so as well.
AB 536 will
protect animals everywhere, and also help consumers and pet lovers alike. It is
a common sense solution to prevent companion animal suffering in Wisconsin.
