Puppy Mill Pipeline Bill passes NY Legislature. It could put Barking Boutique in Tonawanda out of business

The Buffalo News – “Barking Boutique owner David Boelkes, store General Manager Lynn Wiles and the Pet Advocacy Network, which represents pet retailers, are calling for Hochul to veto the bill, arguing it will do nothing to stop bad breeders or unregulated sellers but will instead harm regulated and inspected pet stores across the state. The bill, the Pet Advocacy Network said, would put more than 80 pet stores in the state out of business, including the Barking Boutique – which employs 26 people and has sold 300 puppies in Tonawanda since the store opened in December. “
