Pet shop owners or kennel operators who lie about the origins of cats and dogs could spend 30+ days in jail and pay hundreds of dollars in fines under a pet lemon law approved on 4/21/2009 41-0 in the Connecticut Judiciary Committee.
The legislation, which now heads to the State Senate, would allow consumers as long as 30 days after purchase to return animals and claim up to $500 in veterinarian bills for illnesses that existed at the time of purchase and six months for congenital ailments. They also could receive their purchase price back under the bill, aimed at stopping fraudulent labeling of where animals were born, including puppy mills.

It saddens me how people will breed animals and not care about standards. They breed for greed. MONEY is more important than keeping animals healthy. Government will step in on issues that waste millions, billions..yet when it comes to animals they drop the ball. It breaks my heart when I see how the world is headed, hopefully we will take the steps necessary to improve it.
