Great News! NY Senate Votes in Favor of Puppy Mill Bill S.1130

NY State Residents:
Take Action to Help Pass the Companion Bill A.4283 in the Assembly!


** Dear John,
------------------------------------------------------------

New York State is one step closer to enacting legislation that would ban the retail sale of dogs bred in puppy mills. The NY Senate voted in favor of Bill S.1130 ([link removed]) .

This is a huge step forward, but now we need your help to pass the companion Puppy Mill Bill A.4283 in the Assembly. LCA is encouraging New York State residents to contact their Assemblymember and urge their support. See below for detailed instructions on how you can help!

This historic legislation would impose a retail ban on the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits and authorize space for rescue groups to showcase animals. Click here ([link removed]) to learn more. ([link removed])

"With so many good animals in need of rescue, there is no need for puppy mills that abuse animals to supply pet stores. Our four-legged companions should be treated with respect, not like commodities," said Senator Michael Gianaris, who tabled the legislation along with Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal.
HOW YOU CAN HELP ([link removed])
#1) Call, email and/or write your NY State Assembly Member, voicing support for Puppy Mill Bill A.4283. Click here ([link removed]) to find your Assembly Member. Use the sample correspondence below to show your support. Remember calling is most effective and always keep communication respectful.

Dear Assemblymember,

I am contacting you are your Constituent to voice my support for Puppy Mill Bill A.4283. This Bill would ban the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in pet stores and authorize spaces for rescue groups to adopt rescued animals. If enacted, this legislation would save the lives of countless animals who are euthanized in shelters each year.

The majority of dogs sold in New York State pet sores are sourced from out of state puppy mills. The states of Missouri and Iowa are the leading suppliers of dogs to NY State pet stores. Investigations into puppy mills have shown breeding dogs in cramped, filthy cages.

I ask you to do the right thing and support Puppy Mill Bill A.4283. Thank you.

Sincerely,

LCA strongly believes one of the most effective ways to stop puppy mills is to enact legislation making the sale of animals bred in these facilities illegal.

We CAN make a difference!
