Our community in Lincoln, CA, is experiencing an increase in the number of irresponsible dog breeders who prioritize profits over the welfare of the dogs in their care. This has resulted in a higher number of neglected and unhealthy dogs. Data provided by the ASPCA indicates that there are an estimated 10,000 puppy mills in the United States, and this includes both licensed and unlicensed facilities. Lincoln, CA, is not exempt from this issue. By advocating for stricter dog breeding laws, we aim to ensure that all breeders adhere to humane standards that prioritize the health and well-being of animals. This includes appropriate spacing and shelter for dogs, standard health checks, limits on the number of litters a dog can have, and stringent licensing requirements for breeders. By supporting this petition, we can work together to protect our beloved pets and hold wrongdoers accountable for their actions. It's time for the decision-makers to take action. Please sign this petition to advocate for stricter dog breeding laws in Lincoln, CA.
