NRA released a new legislative alert to their members regarding the Commercial Breeder bill (i.e. the puppy mill bill).

Quote from NRA
“Anyone who cares about our hunting heritage, even those who do not use dogs in their activities, should be very concerned about S 460.  You can be sure that HSUS does not intend to stop at just hurting hunters who use dogs.” Read more

This is strange statement considering that the hunting dogs are EXEMPT from the Commercial Breeder bill! In section 5b of the Commerical Breeder bill states that:

(5b) “Commercial breeder” means any person who owns or maintains 15 or more intact female dogs of breeding age and 30 or more puppies primarily for the purpose of sale. This shall not include kennels or establishments operated for the purpose of boarding or training hunting, sporting, herding, show, or working dogs.

Perhaps the NRA needs to read the bill before they decide to oppose it!
