I'm from Ohio. And yes, puppy mills are a huge problem here. I know surprisingly little about this bill, though. It wasn't well publicized in our local papers.

If you ask me, it's not only puppy mills that's are bad. We also have backyard breeders up the wazoo and idiots who neglect to fix their pets. Puppies and kittens galore!
I volunteer at an animal shelter. We have to put down older animals because we simply don't have room to keep them all.
And then I go home and read an ad on Craigslist where some idiot bred their lab to their buddy's golden and is now selling the pups as $500 designer mixes.

Good grief. It makes me feel like screaming.
