Election 2010: Veterinary associations line up against Missouri's 'puppy mill' ballot proposal

Missouri Veterinary Medical Association argues that better enforcement is the answer.

Missouri – A controversial ballot measure to change dog-breeding rules and to penalize breeders who break them is on the Missouri ballot Nov. 2.

Proposition B, dubbed the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act, places a 50-dog limit on dog breeders, sets up stricter requirements in food, water and shelter rules, and makes "puppy-mill cruelty" a misdemeanor.

The Humane Society of the United States and the Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals spent millions on advertisements across media trying to convince voters to support the proposal. Opponents, including various dog breeder groups and agriculture groups, worry the initiative simply penalizes all breeders, not just the unscrupulous ones.

The Missouri Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) remains opposed to the ballot initiative. The association argues that Missouri has "good existing laws," but lacks enforcement. In addition, "cases of neglect and bad conditions have come mainly from unlicensed breeders who are not overseen by state inspection," reads the MVMA's public statement on its website. "[T]he answer lies in adequate funding for more inspections and better enforcement."

The MVMA cites a Better Business Bureau investigation of dog breeders in March that argued for more aggressive punishment under existing laws and raising annual licensing fees to pay for more and better enforcement. The BBB recommended that legislation focus on streamlining the process for penalizing repeat offenders.

P.S. So let me get this right. The Humane Society of the United States, and the SPCA have spent MILLIONS on trying to get voters to support this proposal. Clearly because the EXISTING laws are NOT working.

Yet the 'Vet Association' is opposed to it.

Huh

Whose interest do you think they have in mind?

The dogs..

I think not.

If you live in Missouri, please support this proposal..

P.P.S. There are now OVER one thousand testimonials about My Complete At Home Pet Healing Course.

"I highly recommend your course to all the loving pet owners ..."

"I was searching for information about cancer cures when my Greyhound developed cancer and was only given six months to live. As he was a valued member of our family, I wanted to learn all I could about what I could do differently or could have done differentlly that might have prolonged his life. He has passed on but, thanks to your course, I have gotten a greater understanding of how loving pet owners may be over vaccinating their dogs and the importance of healthy diets. I highly recommend your course to all the loving pet owners who want to do the best they can to help their pets live a longer healthier life.

Keep up the good work, and thank you for showing the courage to show that there are alternative methods to pet care."
