Reports out of Illinois, leading up to the election of Bruce Rauner Tuesday as the state’s new Governor, indicate bad news for dogs suffering in mass production breeding facilities – puppy mills.

Back on October 29, Steve Dale noted on his blog that Rauner was getting support from Petland, a national chain that sells puppies in its stores. Dale rightfully reminds his readers that Petland is actively fighting regulations against puppy mills.

Rauner has thanked Petland for its support of his election campaign.

How anyone could support any company that fights against protections for dogs suffering in puppy mills is stunning. Before Rauner even begins officially serving as the state’s Governor, it appears he is unable understand this easily-understandable issue.

That’s a horribly bad first step.
