Be Part of Historic Legislation Against Puppy Mills!

This week, you have a rare window of opportunity to hold your elected state legislators accountable to animals, and stop the sale of puppy mill dogs in Connecticut.　

 

 

In a cooperative effort between CT Votes for Animals, the ASPCA and HSUSA, Rep. Brenda Kupchick has been working very hard this session to make this dream come true. And she can succeed IF enough caring Connecticut residents contact their State House Representatives between now and this Tuesday!

 

HB 5027 as amended by Rep. Kupchick, would prohibit CT pet shops from selling commercially bred dogs and cats and instead require that only dogs and cats who are humanely-sourced from animal control facilities and non-profit rescue organizations be sold or adopted out in pet shops.　

 

This measure would help put an end to the suffering of dogs in puppy mills and would reduce pet overpopulation in shelters and the resulting high euthanasia rates.　

What you need to do:

1) Look up your Representative and their contact information here:

2) Calls are best (you will always speak with an aide), but emails are fine, too. You only need to　ask them to　"support Rep.　Kupchick’s amendment to H.B. 5027 to require the sale or adoption of humanely-sourced dogs and cats in pet shops."  Be sure to provide your address so they know you are a constituent. Be sure to thank them!

3) Please spread the word about this important, landmark legislation that would help end one of the worst forms of cruelty to animals in our country.

 

Thank you for being the voice of puppy mill dogs!
