NRA opposes puppy mill bill
Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on 2009-04-22 17:56The National Rifle Association opposes a bill on puppy mills.
The gun rights group e-mailed supporters in North Carolina today urging them to call state legislators considering a bill to regulate commercial dog breeding sponsored by two Democrats and two Republicans.
The e-mail argues the bill is "part of the same old lie" by the Humane Society of the United States, which it says wants to eventually ban all hunting in America.
"Kennel owners who own and train hunting dogs will be hauled into court under the provisions of the legislation and will be forced, at great cost, to put forward an affirmative defense pursuant to the exception," the e-mail says.
It argues that if the House bill is passed, the Humane Society will be back "with even more radical proposals like this."
