Target: Governor Kathy Hochul, New York
Goal: Ensure enforcement of the Puppy Mill Pipeline Act to prevent the sale of animals from cruel breeding facilities.
A new law aimed at ending the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in pet stores is under threat as some pet store owners have filed a lawsuit to halt its implementation. The Puppy Mill Pipeline Act, set to take effect on December 15, was designed to curb unethical breeding practices that subject animals to inhumane conditions in puppy mills, where they are confined in cages for their entire lives and discarded when no longer profitable.
Despite the law’s intent to protect animals from such cruelty and promote adoptions from shelters and rescues, these pet store owners are attempting to block the law, prioritizing their businesses over animal welfare. This action could allow the continuation of animal suffering associated with mass breeding facilities, where animals endure neglect and abuse.
It is crucial that the Puppy Mill Pipeline Act is enforced as intended to prevent further cruelty to innocent animals. By upholding this law, we can ensure that animals are no longer subjected to the horrors of puppy mills and that pet stores promote humane practices. Demand that Governor Kathy Hochul stands firm against attempts to undermine this critical legislation and protects animals from ongoing abuse.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Governor Hochul,
I am writing to express my strong support for the Puppy Mill Pipeline Act, which is set to take effect on December 15, and to urge you to ensure its full implementation despite recent legal challenges. It has been reported that several pet store owners have filed a lawsuit seeking to halt this important law, potentially allowing the continued sale of animals from cruel and unethical breeding facilities.
Puppy mills subject innocent animals to unimaginable suffering, confining them in cages for their entire lives, depriving them of proper care, and discarding them when they are no longer profitable. The Puppy Mill Pipeline Act aims to end this cruelty by banning the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in pet stores, instead promoting adoption from shelters and rescues.
I urge you to stand firm against efforts to undermine this legislation and to protect animals from the horrors of mass breeding operations. By enforcing the Puppy Mill Pipeline Act, you can help put an end to the suffering of countless animals and promote a more humane and compassionate society.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

These puppy mills all need to end. OMG look at the shelters and shelters that are full of animals looking for homes and those are just the ones that have been lucky enough to be placed in the shelters. Once again human greed is always behind so many problems – stop thinking about your own god damn pocket and think about these poor animals with no chance of a life. Shame on all of you puppy mill breeders. You are all pathetic – just another type of animal abusers.
Pet stores are an outdated breed of store. There are so many other ways to purchase a pet without the help of the puppy mills.
It seems that money IS the root of all evil. Sad to say. If you are running a puppy mill perhaps it’s time to find another line of work. Animals, perhaps are not your specialty.
Puppy mills are not an option to raise puppies and to use and reuse females as breeding receptacles also the forcing of different breeds to mate; it is just wrong on all levels. Puppy mill owners need to re-evaluate what they are doing and the tragic implications it is having on the animals, it’s heartbreaking.
