Please ask Illinois legislators to oppose a “humane-washing” bill, Senate Bill 1230, that fails to help dogs. There are several problems with SB 1230:
- SB1230 does not address the conditions and care of animals at breeders;
- SB1230 contains no animal welfare language and merely changes a legal technicality;
- SB1230 fuels the black market for dogs and dog trafficking into our state.
