As introduced Illinios HB1098 might look good to people who think it targets just breeders, but it does not target just breeders. It also includes anyone who might happen to have custody of three pregnant dogs. As introduced the bill specifies that a "sale" includes "Offering a dog up for adoption with any charges or donation associated." The bill expressly limits placement alternatives. "The unlicensed dog breeder may only dispose of the dogs to an animal control facility or Illinois licensed shelter or by having a dog humanely euthanized by a licensed veterinarian." This is not a dog lover's provision. It is a anti-breeder's revenge provision that entirely disregards the welfare of the dogs (or those they displace at the receiving shelter). Whether it is intended to kill more dogs I leave for you to decide, but that will be the result.
