Puppy mills are inhumane and their abhorrent practices of breeding dogs (who are considered livestock and treated as such) are no longer acceptable in a humane society. Illinois citizens are no longer willing to accept the lies of the puppy mill industry and the sick dogs they are bringing into our communities through sales in pet stores. This creates a burden on the citizens and taxpayers that can no longer be ignored. Illinois can, and must, be a leader in the humane movement by enacting meaningful and enforceable legislation.  SB2280 is a big step in the right direction! Also known as Louie's Law, you can click the link below to view the bill and see if your Senator is a cosponsor. If not, please contact them and respectfully request that they cosponsor SB2280.
