Over 300 communities, including several in Texas, have banned the sale of puppy mill dogs in pet stores. These humane pet store ordinances are drying up the market for puppy mill dogs and helping to easing the suffering of breeding dogs who are routinely confined in tiny, filthy cages until they can no longer produce another litter of puppies. Passing a local ordinance, even if your community does not currently have a puppy selling pet store, is a vital step in helping bring about an end to this cruel business model.
You will hear from two speakers who have decades of lobbying experience and have been at the forefront of this campaign. You’ll learn how to get an ordinance drafted, introduced and enacted into law. You’ll learn what hurdles that puppy mill lobbyist will throw in your path, and how to overcome them. This workshop is a must for those who are passionate about ending puppy mills.
