Because it has no current regulations or licensing protocol in place for large-scale commercial dog breeding facilities, Texas has become a haven for puppy millsâ€”unscrupulous breeders who keep their animals in terrible conditions in the name of higher profits. The opposition is

doing everything they can to kill this important humane bill. We need your help to make sure they donâ€™t succeed. What You Can DoHouse Bill 3180 is currently before the Texas Senate Criminal Justice Committee, which is expected to hold a hearing on it very soon. Be the animalsâ€™ voiceâ€”take a few minutes today to call the committee at (512) 463-0345. Your call can make a huge difference in getting this bill passed.
