Bill that would stop pet stores from selling animals from puppy mills takes big step towards becoming law
FOX 26 Reporter Randy Wallace explains what it all means if the bill becomes law.
HOUSTON - On Wednesday, the Texas House passed HB 1818. We are so excited about House Bill 1818, said Tena Lundquist Faust co-President of Houston PetSet. This is an important bill for the state of Texas and for the animals in the state of Texas.
The bill would stop the pipeline between puppy mills and the pet stores in Texas that sell them. We define a puppy mill as a commercial facility that essentially puts profits over the welfare of the animals they have in their care, said Lauren Loney Executive Director of the Humane Society of the United States.
