What exactly is the law they are trying to pass? The way I read "ban on retail sale of companion animals" is "puppy mills cannot hawk their wares in pet stores" which I am all for. I definitely understand the slippery slope argument, and I know this comes close to that slope, but the milling industry has gotten absurd. Not to mention the fact that it makes legitimate breeders that much easier to vilify.

I actually saw a Catahoula puppy, beautifully marked with blue eyes of course, in a tiny cage with the rest of the mill pups at a pet store a couple months ago. Of course I turned around and walked away as fast as I could, but people have been talking with their feet for years when it comes to mills and pet stores, and it doesn't appear to have changed anything. To me it would be like getting leash laws passed and enforced rather than banning dangerous breeds. Throw the irresponsible people under the bus so the rest of us can live in peace.

Has RPOA given any more explanation as to why people should fight this law?
