Abstract
This note proposes an amendment to Illinois law which aims to discourage recreational breeding by imposing standards and requirements on people who choose to breed their pet. Part II of this note discusses the evolution of animal law in the United States.
Following national law, there is an examination of the difference in animal law between Kentucky, Nebraska, and the country’s top state for animal law: Illinois. Part III analyzes how law in Illinois fails to provide standards regarding recreational breeding and why this is a problem. Lastly, Part IV proposes a change to Sections 2 and 2.3 of the Illinois Animal Welfare Act to bring the problem within reach of state law.
