Hi Pat,
Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand the motive behind the ban:-)

Could you please tell us what effect this boycott is supposed to have. If
its a question of taxes why not boycott the whole state?
Rose,
Good question! There have been many attempts at the state level to correct
the laws that allow the puppy mill conditions to continue unabated, but
those pieces of legislation are always held up by the representatives of
Lancaster County - who are quite rightly protecting their human
constituents. The legislators from the rest of the state are on board, we
were able to at least get a Puppy Lemon Lawa passed a number of years ago -
which helps. But in order to make the other changes that are necessary, the
Lancaster County residents need to be convinced that there is a need for
change. Much of their income comes from the tourist industry, which has
suffered in the very recent past. A well known radio personality in New
York state advertised the need for the boycott, which helped significantly.
If you need more information, let me know and I'll see what I can find for
you!
