Update the "2007 amendments to the Animal Welfare Act" to have stricter regulations on breeding and selling animals.

Created by D.S. on September 05, 2015

We need stricter regulations for animals of all types.

Breeders need to be required to have a limit of animals per year, for the safety of the mother. There should also be required health screenings for both parents;; mandatory checks for housing; a strict, mandatory, governmental license; required health screenings for the animal and surroundings; and regulations on pure-breed breeding.

Pure-breeds have more health issues than any other dog; including Bulldogs can't give birth, Pugs can't breath, Labs get hip issues, and many more examples.

This amendment would also up the restrictions of corporations to sell animals. A small pet shop to a big-box store would have the same standards. This would include Betta Fish and turtles, other fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and all mammals.
