The Animal Welfare Act of 1966
LEGISLATION

Laws governing the breeding of purebred dogs are often passed at state and federal levels without the vital input of the most knowledgeable people--the responsible breeder. This sort of campaign, which is higly subjective and emotive, MUST be approached as objectively as possible before the eyes of the decision makers. Documents written with a strong personal and/or emotional commitment preclude an objective and thus seemingly reasonable, appeal.

Educating the LAW MAKERS is crucial if we ever hope to see a stop to puppy mills (commercial breeders) in this country.
