Please oppose S.B. 436, which protects the cruel puppy mill industry
Dear Senator,
As a constituent, I am writing to ask you to oppose S.B. 436, legislation that protects the cruel commercial dog breeding industry and strips local governments of the ability to regulate the retail sale of cruelly bred puppies in their communities.
Dogs in commercial breeding operations are often kept in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions without adequate veterinary care, food, water or socialization. In addition to the inhumane treatment these animals receive, dogs bred in poor conditions produce puppies who may suffer health and behavior problems. Families are often left unprepared for financial and emotional consequences of caring for an ill or behaviorally challenged dog.
S.B. 436 is designed to allow pet stores in Tennessee to continue sourcing from these inhumane commercial breeding facilities and strip cities, towns and counties in Tennessee of their power to address this issue.
As your constituent, I ask you again to please oppose S.B. 436.
