This story is so bizarre it could be funny. But it's not.

Members of the Missouri Tea Party are fighting a proposition on the November ballot that would protect puppies. You got it; the Tea Party is anti-puppy. Yes, we know the party is anti-tax, anti-abortion and anti- just about everything. But puppies? You gotta be kidding me!

Here it is however, in the plain light of day:

The measure, which can be read in full here, is called Proposition B or the "Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act." It aims to help eliminate the "3,000 puppy mills" in Missouri that constitute "30% of all puppy mills in the U.S.," according to Michael Markarian, the chief operating officer of the Humane Society of the United States.

..............................

From the Missouri Tea Party's perspective, "This legislation will restrict the breeding of quality dogs for the purpose of training and placing as assistance dogs. Reputable breeders from Missouri have donated puppies to monitor the breeding of dogs."
 
They aren't anti-puppy, they just don't care about puppies as long as the businesses that raise them are not interfered with by "da gubmint."
 
Tea Party Christianists take that 'dominion over' stuff very seriously. Can't be elevating animal stature.
