Puppy Mill Law Enforced for First Time; 70 Dogs Taken from Missouri Breeder

• Do you honestly believe that living with no water/dirty water, unclean conditions, and amongst rodents is truly LIVING? Do you also believe that just because some animals were saved that these "30k children" have somehow suffered? Do you think we are supposed to care about unemployment for some cruel breeders? Get a clue.

• No, now that the HSUS has them they're gone: HSUS never misses a chance to murder some dogs. I think they have a kill-rate that nearly equals PETA, north of 90%+ These dogs had a much better chance for survival if they had just been released into the wild. It's sad, when will we learn?

• actually the "HS's" sold us all out by pushing such a flawed bill as the sunshine-and-lollipop-rainbow crap they were able to mislead the voters with. The fact that the 'cruelty" bill had to go to court multiple times just to get it's name right should have told you from the beginning that it's crafters had little to no respect of or knowledge of the law. Our legislature acted as they were statutorily required to by amending the passed bill to get it to a state that is actually rational, legal, and enforceable. This extra work and wasted expense that the bills supporters foisted on our state negates any and all good that will come from the legislation for years to come solely based on the increased cost to the state (and by extension, the taxpayer), and for that the "HS's" should be ashamed. For putting important state business on hold in order to fix the mess created by the bill, our legislature deserves praise. Or would you have preferred that the statehouse did nothing and allowed the entire bill to get struck down by the courts? Be happy you were able to get the concessions you did, and also don't forget that Prob B only won IN TWO COUNTIES in the election. It is official, St Louis and Kansas City, two lone counties, get to dictate what the other 215 counties do regardless of their vote. How can anyone see that as a good thing?

• "The dogs will soon be placed with the Humane Society of Missouri for adoption." Translation: all rescued animals will be euthanized within 30 days max. Way to save the dogs guys, you removed them from semi-bad conditions where they were alive to put them in a box to wait for execution. MEANWHILE, 30k children starved to death. Glad the dogs are more important. ALSO,on a related note, since the breeder is now out of business, congrats, we're now paying them out of our pockets since their entire staff is now on unemployment. Jobs, negatively effected. State economy, diminished. Priorities, hopelessly skewed.

• im sure our state legislators will swoop in and overturn this and send those dogs back to their owner.

• If Proposition B was allowed to go into effect, this woman could have charged with a misdemeanor, and had the dogs removed weeks ago. It's also unlikely she would have ever been allowed to have a dog breeding operation again. And what about the hundreds of licensed but bad breeders still left? I've identified over 100, and without even trying hard. What about them? Also, what about the new "rules" that the Department of Agriculture was supposed to publish July 1st incorporating the new laws? And how nice that the HSMO is getting all this publicity for selling out the community trying to keep the state legislature from gutting Proposition B. Smoke and mirrors. This is nothing but smoke and mirrors.
