Ban Puppy Mills

It is critical that your state legislators hear from constituents who support humane standards at puppy mills.

TAKE ACTION
On Tuesday, September 29, the task force will take public testimony. It is important that animal advocates attend this meeting to show the task force that the public cares about dogs confined in puppy mills and that Illinois should have strong laws to protect both dogs and consumers. If you want to protect dogs in puppy mills, this will be your opportunity to speak out and ask for change. If you have had a less than satisfactory experience with a large-scale commercial breeder or pet store, your testimony is particularly vital. Here are the meeting details:

Joint Task Force on Breeders and Pet Stores
Tuesday, Sept. 29, 9:00 am
Illinois Department of Agriculture -- Artisan Building
801 Sangamon Ave.
State Fairgrounds -- Springfield, IL 62794-9281
(800) 273-4763 | (217) 782-2172

If you cannot attend this meeting, please make a brief, polite phone call to your elected officials and ask them to put a humane standards law in place for puppy mills.
