Assembly Member Linda B. Rosenthal said, «Today represents a watershed
moment for animal protection in New York State now that my bill A.740 - A, also known as the «puppy mill bill,» has become law.
Our greatest accomplishment, and by far the most exciting
moment for TPMP, was when The Chicago Companion
Animal and Consumer
Protection Ordinance was passed by the Chicago City Council, and then shortly after that the Cook County Ordinance [banning the sales of commercially bred
animals in pet stores] was passed.
