Missouri: Groups strike deal to potentially reform voter approved measure
An effort to repeal a law approved by voters that clamps down on Missouri dog breeders took a new twist Monday as several agricultural and animal advocacy groups agreed to support a fresh plan that would repeal some of the law’s restrictions and give puppy producers extra time to comply with its mandates. The compromise arrived just days after the Missouri Legislature voted to repeal and replace key parts of “Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act,” which was passed by voters statewide in November.
