House Democrats win fight to protect dogs

For too long, Pennsylvania had the unfortunate distinction of having laws tolerant of the inhumane treatment of breeding dogs at some of the state's large-scale commercial kennels.

Fortunately, at the urging of House Democrats, Governor Ed Rendell and dog advocates across the state, House Bill 2525 is now law.
