A local Amish farmer is applying for permits to operate 3 commercial dog breeding kennels on his Rising Sun Farm.  Cecil County has long had a problem with overpopulation of dogs and cats.  Our local animal shelters and rescues are full and overwhelmed.  The county and surrounding states have had numerous problems with puppy mills - dog breeding facilities that use inhumane practices.  We cannot allow operations that increase the overpopulation issue or allow non-licensed breeders the right to operate kennels.  Please help me make it clear to the Office of the County Executive that the residents of Cecil County do not want Puppy Mills and Dog Breeding Kennels in our community.  We need to make sure that our County Executive Team hears the community and understands that we do not want or need dog breeding facilities in our county. To learn more about Amish Dog Kennel Practices and Puppy Mills please research recent investigations like these online; https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/judge-upholds-maryland-ban-on-pet-stores-selling-puppies-and-kittens/2020/02/10/eed46b36-4b6d-11ea-9b5c-eac5b16dafaa_story.html  http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-puppy-mill-sales-20180315-story.html http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=7187712&page=1 http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/campaigns/stop_puppy_mills/?credit=web_id113905629
