Follow on Google News | Save-A-Pet Launches “Muscles Against Mills” CampaignBy: Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue Inc. Under the new rules, sellers will either have to let buyers see the animals in person before they purchase them or obtain a license and be subjected to inspections by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services division of the USDA. “The new law regarding Internet puppy mills is a step in the right direction,” said Save-A-Pet Founder/President Dori Scofield, who has long been an outspoken advocate in the fight against puppy mills. “However, so much more needs to be done. All of us in the fight against cruelty are anxiously awaiting for Governor Cuomo to sign a new bill — A740a/S.3753a — into law, which will allow local government to set forth legislation regarding the standard of care for pet shops and puppy mills in New York State.” To that end, Save-A-Pet wanted to join the fight and launched its “Muscles Against Mills” campaign, to correspond with Puppy Mill Awareness Month. While the public has become more aware in recent years of the conditions of puppy mills, many still do not understand the horrors that routinely take place in such locations and continue to buy dogs from irresponsible breeders or pet shops. “These dogs live in the most inhumane conditions imaginable,” “The pet population has reached an all-time high — especially here on Long Island,” said Ms. Scofield. “We all need to do our part to further raise awareness for the cause and hope that the growing movement will fuel additional, necessary legislation — both on a national and local level.” Save-A-Pet urges the public to come by the shelter to see the many companion animals that are available for adoption. If you cannot adopt a pet at this time, please consider volunteering or making a donation to the shelter.
