vIndianz.com (Dec. 02, 2009) — Gov. Jim Doyle has signed a bill intended to abolish and eradicate puppy mills where dogs survive in abusive and neglectful conditions.
The law will necessitate dog breeders who sell above 25 dogs per annum to obtain a license through the state.
Breeders will have to meet up standards of care, for example only if each dog with an adequate amount of food, shelter and chance for exercise.
The state will look into the breeder’s surroundings previous to issuing a license and can defer or cancel it for violations.
Animal rights activists have been approaching for set of laws in Wisconsin for years, saying the state’s hands-off approach has made it a attraction for large-scale puppy mills.
This can be an important achievement for the animal activists who have been fighting for the rights of abused, tortured puppies in such puppy mills. Most of these puppy mills are in a horrible condition and with filth everywhere and this lead to an outrage amongst many animal activists. Certainly a positive step in the direction of respite for these lovely creations of nature.
