The New Jersey legislature has two bills in front of them to stop the sale of puppy mill puppies in pet stores. Senate President Scutari and Assembly Speaker Coughlin appear to be in the back pockets of the puppy mill industry and are refusing to help.
Pinned
Please ask Scutari to stop protecting puppy mill cruelty! It's time to pass S. 2511. Call Scutari at (732) 827-7480 and ask him why 16 puppy selling pet stores control him.
This is from Texas, but New Jersey stores lie to Scutari as well. He needs to stop trusting the puppy mill industry!

Petland has a franchise in Old Bridge and is planning to open a second store in NJ. They are sued a lot for selling sick puppies. Scutari and Coughlin can stop this if they pass the Humane Pet Store bill to ban the sale of puppy mill puppies in stores.

We’ve doing some light reading, aka going deep into the published research on puppy mills and pet store puppies. This study found puppies from pet stores are more likely to be aggressive and have house training issues, likely due to stress from the puppy mill and transport to the store.

A House committee in the deep red Texas legislature just voted to ban the sale of puppies in pet stores.

Will Texas do something on puppy mills before New Jersey? This is embarrassing! Come on, Scutari and Coughlin, let’s get the Humane Pet Store bill done!

Last night the Nevada state Assembly voted to ban the sale of puppies and kittens in pet stores. That bill now goes to the Nevada Senate. New Jersey, let’s do this!

Here is a Democrat Assembly member, Carmen Morales, who cosponsored the humane pet store bill while pandering to pet stores that sell puppy mill puppies.

@njassemblydems.bsky.social are actively supporting puppy mills now!

November is coming.

The humane pet store bill (A 4051) was supposed to get a vote in the Assembly committee tomorrow. That has been canceled. The leadership of the NJ legislature seems to be beholden to a handful of puppy mill stores. More to come!

Elections are in November. Change is needed in Trenton!

Where do New Jersey pet stores get their puppies from? Here is one example. Please share this and ask everyone to call Senator Scutari at (732) 827-7480 to ask him to stop blocking S. 2511! We must end the sale of puppies from puppy mills!

Hundreds of puppies are sold at NJ pet stores from puppy mills each year. Some were cited for emaciation, dead dogs, open wounds, fleas & lice, injuries & signs of heat distress.
@njsenatedemocrats.bsky.social & @njassemblydems.bsky.social pass S2511/A4051!

This is a disgrace. Shame on Scutari!
Why do @njsenatedemocrats.bsky.social and @njassemblydems.bsky.social support letting cruel puppy mills like this sell to New Jersey pet stores? We need a change in leadership in Trenton! Scutari and Coughlin side with cruelty over compassion.

And yet somehow NJ Senate President Scutari, Assembly Speaker Coughlin trust the Trump USDA to properly regulate puppy mills. With friends like these, puppy mill dogs are doomed to a lifetime in tiny cages.
The Trump administration fired essential USDA bird flu experts, only to panic and rehire them when disaster struck. It’s the same petty move they pulled with nuclear safety workers. These reckless cuts are playing games with public health and national security, unaware of the damage until too late.

According to this source, half the NJ Assembly is signed on to the humane pet store bill. Yet Speaker Coughlin refuses to give the bill a vote because he wants to protect the cruel puppy mill industry.

New Jersey Democratic leaders think they can trust Donald Trump's USDA to protect dogs in puppy mills. A new ASPCA report shows how bad USDA enforcement of puppy mill regs was under Biden. Just imagine how bad it's going to be now! Stop relying on Trump to save dogs!

To answer the question, yes NJ is far behind so long as the Democratic leaders in the legislature keep protecting the bad actors who make millions off of the suffering of dogs in puppy mills. Looking at you Scutari and Coughlin! November is coming.

N.Y. has banned retail pet sales. Is N.J. far behind?
New York became the 8th state to ban the retail sale of dogs and cats. Will New Jersey enact a similar prohibition on pet stores?

Furrylicious got puppies from this mill. Now Senate President Scutari and Assembly Speaker Coughlin are making sure no legislation passes that would slow down the flow of puppy mill puppies into NJ.

Do you ever wonder where pet store puppies come from? Here is the answer.... Scutari and Coughlin need to stop protecting cruel puppy mills and pass S. 2511 and A. 4051!
