Majority of Readers Support Proposition B
In the poll last week a majority of those that took the poll support the passage of Prop B while nearly 22% indicated additional regulation on puppy mills was a bad idea.
Q: Thoughts on Proposition B, on the Missouri ballot, also known as the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act:
- A good idea, puppy mills are inhumane and tougher regulation is needed 118 [67.43%]
- A bad idea, just more government regulation 38 [21.71%]
- More regulation is needed, but this measure is excessive 13 [7.43%]
- Other answer… 4 [2.29%]
- Unsure/no opinion 2 [1.14%]
The four other answers were:
- Don’t trust HSUS, MO has laws already
- gimme all the puppies you can, they make good eats
- Puppy mills are inhumane, but this is model legislation that will have no affect
- Laws already exist. They need to be enforced.
I’m with the majority on this one, I’ll be voting yes on Prop B on Tuesday.

people don't seem to understand, this law is not addressing illegal breeders, yes, there is already a law for that, and it needs to be enforced. this law would put stricter standards on legal breeders, and yes that ABSOLUTELY needs to happen. even current “legal” breeders have disgusting standards of care. go prop B!!!
