Starting in January 2011, Illinois pet stores will be required to have pertinent medical and breeder information about their puppies for sale on display. Governer Quinn signed the bill on Sunday stating, 'We don't want anybody buying an animal that has been inhumanely treated before its sale, and unfortunately that has existed.'
This is a huge step forward for consumers but most importantly the fight against puppy mills. I want to thank the Illinois legislature for doing the right thing. It's time for all states to crack down on puppy mills and stop the abusive practices to the animals we domesticated. I look forward to more legislation in Illinois in favor of animals. We must continue to hit hard and let those who choose profit over the well being of animals know that they will not prosper in Illinois.
Thank you for the giant step in the right direction.
