HB 1818 Seeks To End Puppy Mills in Texas
We all love our pets. Those furry, four legged family members that we can t imagine life without. But how much do you know about where yours came from?
A bill passed by the the House would make it illegal for pet stores in counties of 200,000 or more to sell cats or dogs that did not come to them through animal shelters, pet rescue organizations, control agencies, or licensed breeders. The bill, HB 1818, passed in the House by a vote of 85 to 54 and must still pass in the Senate to take effect. As you can see by the vote tally, there are those who are opposed to this bill thinking that the Texas government shouldn t be meddling in what product a business should or should not stock in their stores.
