The 16 Indiana municipalities that prohibit so-called “puppy mills” from supplying dogs and cats to pet stores are breathing a sigh of relief after two bills — Senate Bill 134 and House Bill 1121 — won’t be moving forward to become law.
HB 1121, which was authored by State Rep. Michael Aylesworth, R-Hebron, would have blocked municipalities from banning the retail sale of dogs. Aylesworth told the Indiana Capital Chronicle that there were concerns about enforcing oversight, among other issues.The Post-Tribune contacted Aylesworth’s spokesperson for comment but none was offered.
A national pet store chain lobbied state legislators to bar communities from passing humane pet shop ordinances, according to Stokes, but she believes it is no longer operating in Northwest Indiana. The Valparaiso City Council unanimously passed a puppy mill ordinance on Feb. 27, despite concerns about the pending bills downstate.
“There is no state funding for animal control; they are funded by localities,” Morton said. “The state has no oversight related to inspecting pet stores, yet the state would be saying to localities that they can’t pass a law regulating the sale of dogs and cats and pet stories, even as a mechanism to help manage animal overpopulation.”
