A new law has taken full effect in Maryland that aims to ban pet stores in the state from selling dogs bred in so-called “puppy mills.”
H.B. 1662, also known as the No More Puppy- and Kitten-Mills Act of 2018, was enacted on Wednesday, almost two years after Gov. Larry Hogan (R) first signed the measure into law in April 2018.
“I was proud to push for and enact the No More Puppy- and Kitten-Mills Act of 2018, which bans retail stores from the sale of commercially-bred pets that all too often come from inhumane breeding mills,” Hogan wrote of the legislation in a Facebook post on Thursday.
“We will continue to advocate on behalf of animal welfare and encourage safe, humane pet adoption here in Maryland,” he continued.

ReplyDeleteI think it's great and hopefully it helps stop puppy mills. They're beyond repulsive. What this has to do with school taxes, I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI moved here from Baltimore 12 yrs ago and it's beyond Hogan to fix that septic tank. They'll vote Sheila Dixon back in and they'll continue to get what they vote for. Just keep her away from the gift cards...
