Typical lack of listening to their constituants. Big AgriBusiness lobbied its way into the system...If you hate puppy mills, sign and pass on....Here is a quote from the ASPCA "Missouri is the number-one puppy-producing state in the county, supplying pet stores from coast to coast with hundreds of thousands of dogs annually, and is notorious for its lax animal-care standards and proliferation of unlicensed breeders. Unless it is vetoed by Governor Jay Nixon, the bill the House just passed (SB 113) will not only supersede the PMCPA%u2014which includes such humane provisions as increased cage size, prohibition on the use of wire flooring and restrictions on breeding frequency%u2014it will make parts of the state%u2019s commercial breeding law even weaker than they are now."

Please your honor, veto Bill SB113 and protect the dogs and puppies in your state from big agribusiness....you know your state is the worst in the country for puppy mill abuses and neglects. Prop B was only going to give these poor dogs half way decent care. Big Agribusiness is scared that they may lose a few dollars due to humane care of their animals....The People of Missouri have spoken, how can you allow their voices to be silenced. Please do what the people have voted you to do, listen to what they say and not some big money, uncaring, uncompassionate, greedy lobbyists.
The whole Country is watching you.
Thank you.
