HB 1451 goes beyond all reasonable need for animal welfare and places severe restrictions on dog breeders who are not breeding dogs as a business. The requirements cited in the bill would force many hobby breeders and hunting dog breeders to shut down altogether. Reading the actual bill instead of Rep. Thompson's media version of it might be an education to everyone.
If you are a dog lover, do you want dogs raised in a home setting or in a separate steel and concrete building? Thompson's bill requires federal USDA engineering standards be used for facilities - that means separate buildings, not a breeder's home. How does that benefit anyone? Even more ridiculous is the claim that no cost is attached to the bill. Must be some new math we don't know about.
