Humane Society Launches Campaign to Put Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act on 2010 Ballot - St. Louis News - Daily RFT: "'Missouri citizens are not proud of the reputation the state has earned as 'puppy mill capital of the United States' and they want to see the laws strengthened,' said Ginger Steinmetz, executive director of the MO Alliance for Animal Legislation, in a press release. 'The improved standards of care described in this measure will mean less suffering for thousands of adult breeding dogs which currently spend their entire lives in wire cages. As the leading puppy-producing state, Missouri should also lead the nation when it comes to the conditions under which puppies are bred for sale in pet stores throughout the nation and the world.'"
