Dem great people in da state of Missouri did pass a bill to halp dogs & puppies in dem puppy mills. YAY! PA did pass a law too but I dunt finks it az comprehensive az dis one wot apparently sets a standard for all states to follow. Here reads about it fur urselfs…
Proposition B Brings Welcome Relief to Dogs Suffering in Missouri‘s Puppy Mills
NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) celebrated a major victory with the passage of the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act, also known as Proposition B on the Missouri state ballot. The initiative has set in place common-sense, enforceable standards for large-scale dog breeding facilities throughout the state, including significantly increased cage space; solid flooring; adequate veterinary care; nutritious food; clean drinking water; and protection from the elements.
“Yesterday’s passage of Proposition B reflects a landmark achievement in the ongoing fight against animal cruelty. The ASPCA has seen first-hand the unspeakable cruelty and horrific conditions of substandard puppy mills, and this initiative will put an end to the inhumane treatment of dogs confined in cramped wire cages and forced to endure a lifetime of suffering. We are proud to have worked diligently on this campaign, and we celebrate this victory alongside the caring citizens of Missouri. The ASPCA is committed to working with local animal welfare groups to help breeders transition to the new humane standards and find loving homes for Missouri‘s displaced breeding dogs.
“The potential impact of Proposition B is staggering. We are more hopeful than ever that the strong momentum around puppy mill cruelty will push other states to follow Missouri‘s lead, causing a ripple effect throughout the nation. In no other state were the stakes higher for puppy mill dogs, and Missourians have set an admirable precedent for reform.”
Home to an estimated 3,000 puppy mills — 30 percent of the mills in the U.S. and far more than in any other state — Missouri is the leading source of puppies in the country. Approximately one million puppies are produced annually for the pet trade in Missouri, and when combined with the number of breeding dogs permanently housed in kennels statewide, this translates to more than 1.5 million lives affected each year by these new regulations.

Da beautiful black kitties out der have (& doggies too) have had a rather had time over da centuries. There iz tons of superstitious peeples wot think a black kitty will bring bad luck. Dat’s not true! But it iz finking like dat wot makes dem hard to adopt out and they sit in shelters longer den utter kitties. Wot iz just heart breakin.
Human2 had a black cat way back afore us wot wuz her bestest (& sumtimes onliest) friend growing up. Her name wuz Cleopatra (named affer a witches kitty in sum moovie H2’s mommy had watch….see wot I means).
Ma pal Romeo the Cat has been celebrating the Black Cat all week long and showcasing sum beary handsum house panthers too. Go on ovah to his website & check dem out.
Halloween iz a fun time fur humanz but sum of dem use dis time to doz harm to animals and black cats in particular need to watch out. So have your humanz keep you safe in doors dis weekend. I wants all ma black anipals safes & sound come Monday morning!
Ok so da utter day I did seed dis pikshur of da longest kitteh in da werld and thoughted “hai dats me”. So I did fink I needed to show off just how big I iz.
Da Guinness World Record
I will haz to let ma humanz measuring me sumtime to see how well I measure up. But since today iz Human1’s birfaday I will just snuggle up wif her insted.
We hub Halloween….but I finks u figured dat out by now huh? Any who….human2 doz belongs to dis webby site called SheSpeaks.com where u gets products to try and bloggy about. Herz two favorite fings herz did so far wuz one fur Haagen daz ice cream (when dey introduced Haagen Daz 5 we gotted each flavor and had a old fashioned ice cream pawty) and now dis one frum Snickers.
Snickers iz introducing a brand new candy bar (insert drum roll here) — Snickers Peanut Butter.
Snickers sended us a HUGE box of da new Peanut Butter, regular Snickers, a fog machine, strobe light & utter decorations. I did a complete inventory to make sure dat it all here! Even tho dat Lippe tried to eated dem all up!
We started to decorates for da trick-or-treater tonight and hung up da BIG Snickers banner so we could postin pikshurs ovah at SheSpeaks.com, but we not all dun yet. We be reddy fur da lil monsters by Halloween!
Ma humanz haz rescued all us kitties in sum form or utter although now us us were officially adopted via shelter or rescue. Livin in Pennsylvania in da middle of all da Amish puppy mills haz really opened our eyes about adoptions and the need to stop dem bad puppy (& kitty) breeders.
Through halpin rescue us kitties Human2 haz gotted involved wif da local Humane Society & Rescue League. We hab no more room but we would bring dem all home iffen we could. So we doz our best to promote adoptions thru rescues & shelters when ever we can!
We halp by donating much needed items as well as just plain fun fings fur kittehs & doggies. We takes treats and toys over and spend time wif da animals. Dat iz called socializing dem. When dey r good wif people dey can more easily be adopted.
So even iffen u can no adopt during da Iams Home 4 the Holidays adoption drive dis year u can still make a difference by volunteering at a shelter, attending events (& sharing ur experiences to halp raise awareness) or even sponsor an animal in a shelter.
Get out der & make a difference. Be the Change!
