Interesting...be sure to let us know for sure whether his kennel license is/is not renewed.[/b]

The interesting thing is so far all this has proved is it was possible to close non-conforming kennels prior to the new PA dog law as the two examples presented were violations of the old exsiting law.

This is what I know to be factual:

Part of the new law specifies larger cages, no stacking, and temperature controls as well as excercise requirements.

There were no requirements for the above, so dogs have been housed in deplorable conditions quite legally.

That's why the legislation was written to specifically address those issues.[/b]

Please there are federal standard the needed to be maintained which do specify crate size cleanliness etc. That is what thes individules were prosecute on in the first place. If the diffence is a change in culture then it is further evidence a new law was not needed. That if there was a will to prosecute that was possible uner the old legilation.

and for most of the housing condition provision of the bill It is really hard to assess because well they do not exist yet. because well they were deferred to a committee.,
