NV Assembly Bill 246 – The Sale of Animals

 

Dear Friends,

Existing law in Nevada does not regulate the sale of animals at swap meets and flea markets, allowing irresponsible and unscrupulous breeders to sell their animals virtually under the radar. These sales contribute to unhealthy animals and breeding practices, overpopulation and animal abandonment.

Fortunately, Assembly Bill 246 has been introduced to crack down on the sale of live animals at Nevada’s flea markets and swap meets. This bill is designed to protect purchasers who may unknowingly buy an animal that is unhealthy or too young, or from a pet mill or backyard breeder who doesn’t provide safe and humane conditions for the animals bred and sold.

Your representatives need to hear that you care about the way animals are treated and that you support Assembly Bill 246 to protect pets and consumers.

Thank you for all you do for animals.

 

Warmest regards,
