Danbury lawmakers push for ‘puppy mill’ bill

HARTFORD — Less than four weeks after a fire threatened 86 puppies and dogs, most of the Danbury delegation has united behind a bill to limit where pet stores can get the animals they sell. The bill, proposed by Reps. Raghib Allie-Brennan, D-Bethel, and Jason Doucette, D-Manchester, would prohibit pet shops from selling or trading dogs or cats that are not sourced from animal welfare organizations or animal control units. “People have tried to bring this up several times in other sessions and it’s just failed, but us young’uns in the General Assembly are hopeful,” said Allie-Brennan, 27.
