Quote from article:
"HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) Gov. Ed Rendell is set to unveil proposals that would strengthen and expand statutes and regulations to improve conditions for dogs in Pennsylvania kennels, a newspaper reported.
The governor wants to eliminate wire-floor cages and at-home medical procedures, and ban anyone convicted of animal cruelty from holding a kennel license, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Saturday, citing a draft copy of proposals provided by a person in the administration.
Rendell is expected to present the proposals next month in an effort to push bad kennel owners out of business and improve conditions for dogs in 2,600 commercial kennels statewide. If legislation is approved, the state would have the most stringent kennel laws in the nation, according to experts in animal law, the paper said.
Rendell pledged in 2006 to improve the lives of commercial breeding dogs. He fired the members of the Dog Law Advisory Board; hired more kennel inspection staff, a new deputy secretary and a special prosecutor in the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement; and proposed sweeping kennel regulations."
