HB1711 is only good for illegal dog importers, and the special interests trying to push an agenda. It’s bad for the animals it purports to care about; bad for families who want a pet; and bad for legitimate businesses sourcing animals responsibly.
We want to foster the continued development of responsible, committed breeders who love animals and helping families find the next member of their household.
This is why we oppose HB1711.
We believe Illinois has the responsibility to protect the ethical and humane sourcing of dogs, and we advocate for state and local laws that improve the quality of life for dogs.
#ProtectOurPetsIL
We are a coalition committed to protecting the health and welfare of our dogs and to preserving families' choice to purchase a dog companion from the trusted source of their choosing.
Let’s take the attention off of the villains for a minute and highlight heroes like Sheriff Johnson. This is the leadership we need if we are going to get better.
HALC supports sanctions against #Turkey & urges @POTUS to call on Turkey to release falsely accused Americans and @StateDept employees & locate, ID, & return the remains of the four Greek-Americans still missing since Turkey’s illegal invasion of #Cyprus.

Please remember Mr. President, the detention of Pastor Brunson is part of a pattern of bad behavior by #Turkey. There should be a wholesale review of US-Turkey policy. #WorstAllyEver#NoJetsForTurkey https://t.co/G9hkJ9Su9R
Thanks to Congressman @davidcicilline - a great champion for the rule of law, building strong & reliable alliances for the US in the Eastern Mediterranean, and author of the End the Cyprus Arms Embargo Act.
The world must stop rewarding #Turkey for its bad behavior, and this is a great first step. #WorstAllyEver#NoJetsForTurkey
Thanks to all the advocates at HALC and @ANCA_DC who have taken action on this issue!
There's precedent where the US stopped sale for fighter jets. In 1990 the US gov't stopped a planned sale to Pakistan for lying to the US and going against American interests. No F35s for #Turkey, notoriously the #worstallyever https://t.co/IUqSVAi41p
