Common arguments
from opposition
![Page 11: The Large-Scale Commercial Dog Breeder Actfiles.meetup.com/1258100/HB4898 Presentation - Getting to the Goal... · Canfield, John Kivela, Gary Glenn, Mike Callton, Al Pscholka, Earl](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052102/603c1e282406c0143c648f68/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“We already have an animal cruelty law
in Michigan. Why do we need to impose
regulations on breeders?”
![Page 12: The Large-Scale Commercial Dog Breeder Actfiles.meetup.com/1258100/HB4898 Presentation - Getting to the Goal... · Canfield, John Kivela, Gary Glenn, Mike Callton, Al Pscholka, Earl](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052102/603c1e282406c0143c648f68/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Won’t this start that ‘slippery slope’
toward ending all dog breeding?”

“Dog breeders know what they are doing,
