Wrap: 

Protester Betty Iverson says the puppy her family adopted from a dog breeder has medical problems due to the inhumane conditions of the breeding facility.  Now she says she wants to protect other animals from the same fate.

She came to the Capitol to protest legislation which would repeal some provisions of prop B.

Senator Mike Parson is the sponsor of the bill.  He says the bill does not repeal prop B.  In fact he says it improves it by enforcing stricter regulation on unlicensed breeders. 

Protester Susan Tolliver says she is embarrassed by Missouri's association with dog breeders, which have been chronicled on national television programs.

The protesters hope to encourage lawmakers to vote against the bill.

Wrap: The bill to repeal parts of Proposition B was given first round approval by the Senate last week, a decision some Missouri dog lovers don't agree with.

The protesters say the bill would give power back to the dog breeders.  Sponsor of the bill Senator Mike Parson says the protesters do not fully understand what his bill does.

Parson says his bill improves on prop B, by strengthening laws against unlicensed breeders.

Protester Susan Tolliver says she is embarrassed by the state of Missouri's association with puppy mills.
