Please Cosponsor S. 1130 to Shut Down the Puppy Mill Pipeline into NY
Dear Senator,
As your constituent, I ask for your renewed support in advancing S. 1130, which would stop cruel breeders from selling their dogs to New York’s pet stores--and make it harder for them to profit from cruelty. This bill overwhelmingly passed the Senate last session, and I am counting on your support again this year.
New York has one of the country’s highest concentrations of puppy-selling pet stores. Puppies sold in pet stores typically come from commercial breeding operations known as “puppy mills” that are designed to prioritize profit over the well-being of the animals. In these operations, dogs often spend their entire lives in wire crates without adequate shelter, veterinary care, food or socialization.
Year after year, the pet industry has demonstrated that it is not interested in ensuring the welfare of the dogs it churns out, nor is it interested in transparency or public accountability. These poorly regulated commercial dog breeders have only one goal: breed the highest volume of puppies possible at the lowest cost for maximum profit. Enough is enough.
This legislation would shut down the puppy mill pipeline that moves cruelly bred animals from puppy mills across the country into New York’s pet stores and better protect our state’s consumers, public health and animal welfare--while still permitting stores to provide space for rescue groups and shelters to adopt out animals to the public.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
