"Our goal has always been and shall always be to protect the rights of animal owners and enthusiasts against the devastating effects of the animal rights movement."
-Missouri Federation of Animal Owners
A ballot initiative is currently underway in
the state of Missouri. This ballot initiative is called "The Puppy Mill
Cruelty Prevention Act". This ballot measure would place onerous
restrictions on Missouri's well-run licensed breeding facilities which
is unfair and misguided. This law punishes law-abiding, licensed
breeders for the minority of unlicensed breeders who do not follow the Animal
Care Facilities Act Program (ACFA) and who are non-compliant
to the law. This measure would also impose detrimental economic
consequences for our Missouri farming and agriculture communities.
