* Politico…
Opponents of a bill that would require the sale of dogs and cats only from animal control facilities or shelters say they have polling that shows Illinois residents don’t like the idea. The poll by National Research Inc. and commissioned by Furry Babies, a majority woman-owned pet store, says 53 percent of residents oppose HB 1711.
Not a loaded question at all…
In your opinion, do you think the state government should dictate where and how families can purchase a dog, or should they be free to choose from a variety of options and price points?
Sheesh.
* Press release…
Stand for Children Illinois today released poll results it commissioned among Chicago and Illinois voters to gauge support for a fully elected Chicago school board, a hybrid board split evenly between elected and appointed members, or a plan proposed by the Mayor with more appointed than elected members.
Methodology…
The following findings are based on the results of three surveys:
• An online survey from May 11-13, 2021 in Illinois among N=500 likely 2022 general election voters, with an n=200 Chicago oversample (margin of error of +4.4%)
• A phone and text survey from April 28 – May 6, 2021 in Illinois among N=600 likely 2022 general election voters, with an n=400 Chicago oversample (margin of error of +3.5%)
• A phone and text survey from February 23 – March 1, 2021 in Illinois among N=600 likely 2022 general election voters, with an n=400 Chicago oversample (margin of error of +3.5%)

Lol, even with a loaded question like that, they still only got 53% to agree?

They can calm down on HB1711 you can still pay crazy amounts of money for the mutt-doodle of your choice you just have to go to the “breeder” of said mutt just can’t get it from a pet shop they’ll only have regular mutts.

Full discolsure the pet store in question operates out of the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora. Pets are sold out of cribs and people can come in and pick them up and hold them.

It’s not loaded if it is actually what the bill does. And @johninchicago, give the ILGA time, they’ll think of more.

===It’s not loaded===
Then maybe you are. No responsible pollster asks a question like that.

I bought a dog at a pets store once upon a time. She was, in the most literal sense, the absolute best dog that has ever lived.
Now that I am more educated I would have purchased her directly from a breeder as I have have my other dogs.
As a dog lover I have no problem with this bill.
