Goal: 30,000 • Progress: 11,757

The Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act (PMCPA) was passed in Missouri in November 2010 in an attempt to put more regulations on puppy mills and their practices. This was a huge success for puppies in Missouri — the state that leads all others in commercial dog breeding.
But in mid-April 2011, legislators voted to reject the bill — and won.
Now it's up to Missouri governor Jay Nixon to either sign or veto the new bill. If he supports the rejection, commercial breeding facilities won't be required to increase the standard of living for the puppies. They won't have to take care in providing acceptable cages, allowing time each day to play outside, or making sure the dogs aren't breeding too often.
This could mean disaster and even death for thousands of puppies. Speak out for the puppies and sign the petition asking Governor Nixon to veto the rejection of PMCPA.
