Missouri legislators to Missouri voters: Stuff yer vote

Yeah, thanks for that, Missouri legislators.

Sure, we voted last Fall and said we didn't want there to be "puppy mills" and puppy mill operators abusing dogs and animals regarding Proposition B but you, in your inifinite wisdom--far wiser than us, clearly--say forget all that and that you know better:

Missouri Senate endorses repeal of dog breeding law

JEFFERSON CITY | The Missouri Senate has endorsed legislation repealing many parts of a dog-breeding law passed by voters last November.


A bill given first-round approval Tuesday would lift a limit of 50 dogs per breeder, which is scheduled to take effect later this year with the rest of the new law. It also would roll back provisions regulating water bowls and living conditions for dogs.


Voters had approved Proposition B with 52 percent of the vote.


But some senators said the initiative could drive good dog breeders out of business by forcing them to make costly renovations and reducing their sales.

Well, yeah, that and the fact that these breeders give our legislators money so hey, who are we to get in the way, right?

I just hope media will be there to continue to tell us what our legislators are doing for (to?) us since our voting and opinions clearly don't matter.

Or if they do, at least they matter far less than our legislators.

I hope none of them ever come 'round and try to tell us how important it is we vote.  I don't know if I'd want to scream or choke 'em.
