Dogs Do The Darnedest Things

In the state of Maryland, officials are cracking down on puppy mills & dog breeders. The House Bill 495 would limit the number of breeder dogs an owner could have to 50, would make it mandatory for the dogs to get at least 2 hours of exercise a day, and expand the size of the cages the dogs are kept in. Most dogs in puppy mills are breed continuously, and never get let out of their small, cramped cages. The measure calls for each violation to have a penalty of up to $1,000.
