Missouri Legislature Poised To Repeal Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Referendum
By Alex Seitz-Wald
Mar 12th, 2011

For years, Missouri earned the dubious distinction as the nation’s “puppy mill capital” because its lax humane regulations and enforcement allowed dog breeders to raise puppies at low costs in terrible, overcrowded conditions. Last fall, Missouri voters approved a referendum to finally solve this problem — the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act — which mandates regular veterinarian inspections of breeding facilities and ensures a basic level of treatment for dogs, such keeping temperatures between 45 and 85 degrees. Tea party groups stridently opposed the referendum, arguing it was “just another example of big government meddling in people’s lives.” Now, capitalizing on the big gains they made in November, Republicans in the state legislature are poised to repeal the regulations Missouri’s voters enacted:

Saying the new requirements would put the dog breeding industry out of business, the state Senate voted 20-14 on Thursday for a wholesale rewrite.

6. They had collars and tags. I hope that they picked them up

and were able to reunite them with their human(s).

12. They are both safe and being treated

It took rescuers two hours to bring them to the nearest shelter via dirt bikes with cages attached on the back.
The white dog is still at a clinic and the orange dog is resting at a shelter. I learned this on a corgi rescue site
where a japanese blogger gave a detailed update.

I'll post that link if I can find it again.

Found it!

7. That white kitten

I just want to pick her up and love her. Make it all go away.
Greatergood.org also has a collection for animal survivors in Japan.
