ACTION NEEDED - Federal Oversight for Breeders, Please Sign Petition & Share

Bring All Commercial Dog Breeders Under Federal Oversight!

Target: Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL) and David Vitter (R-LA); Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA)
Sponsored by: ASPCA

In May, Senators Durbin and Vitter and Rep. Farr introduced the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act to bring all commercial dog breeders in the United States under federal oversight.

Currently, only breeders who sell their dogs to brokers or pet stores are required to be licensed and inspected by the USDA. If passed, the PUPS Act would require any breeder who sells or offers to sell more than 50 dogs annually directly to the public—including over the Internet—to also be licensed and inspected.

The bill would also require all dog breeders licensed under the federal Animal Welfare Act to exercise every dog every day, including allowing the dogs to reach a running stride without the use of treadmills or similar devices.
