 Act By Monday To Stick Up For Mill Dogs!
The USDA has officially announced a draft of their new rules that would require Internet breeders selling multiple puppies and kittens to be federally licensed and regulated by the U.S.Dept of Agriculture. This is the first time any kind of Internet regulation has been proposed.

The new rules require large-scale dog and cat breeders selling their unseen puppies and kittens who sell over the internet, phone, or mail to be licensed and regulated.  This is to to make sure they have been provided with humane standards of care.
 
Please send in your comments to the USDA in support of these changes by Monday.  Please hurry, this is your last chance to submit comments!

What do I say? 
 
1. The proposed rules are necessary to ensure that all breeding animals are monitored for their health and humane treatment regardless if their puppies are sold in pet stores or over the Internet.

2. The proposed rules will protect consumers who purchase a puppy sight unseen over the Internet and will help ensure that they receive a healthy puppy.

3. These rules will help encourage dog breeders to open their doors to the public so buyers can see the conditions in which their new puppy is raised or be subject to inspections by USDA.

4. These rules will help concentrate the regulatory efforts of USDA on those facilities that present the greatest risk to the welfare of the animals.

5. These rules will hold breeders accountable to normal sensible regulations that good reputable breeders are already doing and will not place an undue burden on any responsible breeder.

6. Thank USDA for proposing these rules and encourage them to implement them as written.

This is your opportunity to truly make a difference for the animals.  You can be assured that the dog breeders and their allies will be swamping the USDA with letters of protest.  We need you to refute any such attempts to weaken the USDA's proposed new rules.

Thank you,

The Puppy Mill Project
