CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -
The West Virginia Senate
passed a bill to target large dog breeding facilities that animal advocates
call puppy mills.
Under the bill, owners
of more than 11 unsterilized dogs would be required to obtain a permit and
would be subject to inspection. The bill would exempt registered racing
greyhounds, show dogs and herding dogs. The bill also sets minimum treatment
standards including providing easy access to food and water. Breeders could not
own more than 50 dogs.
The Senate voted
unanimously Tuesday to send the legislation to the House of Delegates.
Sen. Karen Facemyer says
the bill is a step forward but will not shut down the puppy mills. Operators
will not seek a permit and local animal control officers don't have time to
track them down.
