Sorry for the delay in responding as I am insanely busy right now. I attended the AB1122 thing and puppy mills are what HSUS and its junior partners are touting for the cause. However, the wording of the bill applies to all animals bred and sold by individuals who do NOT OWN PET SHOPS. This applies to anyone competing for money with pet shops. Premise of the argument is that animal control is able to inspect animals at pet shops 24/7 but only able to inspect animals at shows during the show itself. The least they want is the ability to inspect an individuals collection whether or not abuse is suspected. This includes all animals by the way the bill is worded. This bill really needs to be killed. I am having difficulty with my laptop but will post the audio from the AB1122 hearing when I can. If I have to I will write the whole damn thing down and post it. This bill is scary in its intent. Please take it seriously and contact Diane Amble as she has beeen fighting this thing from the beginning. I will do what I can.

Thanks, Dan.
