Over the weekend, the Coalition to Ban Ohio Dog Auctions (CBODA) hosted organizing meetings at the Lancaster and Pickerington Ohio University campuses. If the grassroots organization collects 120,700 petition signatures by the end of the year, state legislators will have the opportunity to sign into law the Ohio Dog Auctions Act in January 2011. Dog auctions serve as a venue for puppy-mill producers to sell unwanted animals, and CBODA members hope that auction bans will reduce demand for commercially bred animals. If the initiative doesn’t pass with lawmakers, state residents will vote on the measure in November 2011.
