The PUPS Act imposes an unfunded mandate which over regulates responsible dog breeders.
The PUPS Act would kill not only the dog breeding industry itself, but harm all businesses related to the dog breeding industry by reducing the number of pet food producers, feed stores, veterinarians, and dog groomers.
The PUPS Act is written and pushed by the Humane Society of the United States which spends LESS than 1% of its $150 million annual budget on animal welfare.
The PUPS Act does nothing to address the problem of unlicensed and unscrupulous breeders who are already in violation of existing laws.
The PUPS Act is designed to make dog breeding prohibitively expensive and treats all dog breeders as criminals with the goal being the elimination of law abiding breeders nation-wide.
