Coalition to Ban Ohio Dog Auctions
Coalition to Ban Ohio Ohio
Citizens from across Ohio served as the catalyst for the Ohio Dog Auctions Act. These voters and taxpayers, along with thousands of voters from the humane community, strongly endorse this proposed legislation as an effective way to address a major distribution channel serving puppy-mill breeders from 15 states, many of whom have long-standing, repeat violations of the Animal Welfare Act and/or have been convicted of animal cruelty.
Ohio ranks sixth (up from seventh in 2011) in the number of U.S. Department of Agriculture-licensed high-volume breeding kennels. Voters and taxpayers can no longer wait to move on regulating an industry fueled by heartbreaking animal cruelty, corruption and consumer fraud.
The time has come to serve as a strong voice for the dogs by requesting state legislators to cast their YES vote for the Ohio Dog Auctions Act!

2012 Ohio Companion Animal Lobby Day!
Join advocates from across the state for the 2012 Companion Animal Lobby Day in
We will be hitting the halls of the The Ohio Statehouse to advocate for bills and a ballot initiative to address issues impacting the welfare of companion animals that are occurring right here in Ohio.
The day will be action packed – a briefing, luncheon reception and a rally at The Ohio Statehouse, all of which will provide the perfect grassroots opportunity for us to urge state legislators to recognize animal cruelty, dog auctions, puppy mills and breed-discrimination legislation as serious issues and take action to effectively address them in Ohio. And - you don't need to be an expert in lobbying to take part!
There are many new legislators in Ohio as well as incumbents, who do not yet know that Ohio is only one of four states which does not have a first offense felony animal cruelty law and has enacted statewide breed-discrimination legislation. Ohio also has the only dog auction east of the Mississippi which attracts buyers and sellers from 15 states, many of whom have long standing, repeat violations of the Animal Welfare Act or have been convicted of animal cruelty.
