KOMU 8
A ballot initiative is using well-known names like Tony La Russa to help support its cause. St. Louis Cardinals manager, Tony La Russa, has teamed up with some politicians and veterinarians to put an end to puppy mills. La Russa and eight other members are now participants in the Puppy Mills Reform Committee. Created by the Missourians For the Protection of Dogs group, the committee aims to fight against and take a stand against Missouri’s current puppy mills.
A local business woman and her son started a petition drive Monday to force the city to put security cameras in public areas. Karen Taylor is the force behind the petition, and the drive follows an attack on her son in a downtown parking garage last June.
