I understand that they are trying to protect animals from cruel practices.. However, if they are worried about puppy mills, then why can they not be inspected such as restaurants are. If you are a breeder with registered animals then you should be inspected. I think if they cracked down on current laws that would be better. I dont agree with the tail docking for the simple reason I rescued my Rottie as an adult. How am I to know how she got her tail docked? What am I suppose to do if I decided to take her there to visit? I think this law will also make it harder for rescue groups to find homes forthe dogs with docked tails because of the hassle of proving the docking of the tail. Also, hwo is a person to prove if they had to dock tails. Some breeds such as Aussie's have a chance of being born with a natural docked tail. So who can prove whether it was or not? I think that cracking down on pet store conditions and breeder conditions is a better way to help.
