Because it would help track drug abuse.

Addictive Opioids can and do wreak havoc in families and society. They need to be tracked and monitored from their source to their end user. The only way to monitor those who doctor shop and use multiple pharmacies to obtain opioids is a to have this monitoring system. Period. Wake up Missouri!

Max

To Harold , I don't like big brother, the dems like big brother, I also don't like watching addicts killing themselves with drugs and taking others with them. With a simple tracking system people would not get lethal doses, to kill themselves with or to sell to others.

This needs to be CONFIDENTIAL. BIG BROTHER has no business with this info.

Audrey Shewmaker

It makes it harder for those who are on them for a good reason.

Max

Drug abuse is not a good reason.

Steve TheBmann

The beauracracy is already too big. We need to find simpler, less cost effective ways of controlling meds.

Max

Criminals can't skirt this law. It's a good law.

Max

Don't vote for Democrats.

Steve TheBmann

Also, more laws do nothing for the criminals and seemingly only punish the law abiding tax paying citizens.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.

Missouri should enforce strict laws against animal abuse—because any society that calls itself evolved must protect the voiceless. Cruelty tolerated is cruelty normalized, and no state that values progress can afford that.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Yes the voiceless, to include humans as well. Babies need voices as well.

Chris Macy

Currently, MO is the country's leader in puppy mills. Punish these horrible monsters who traffic in the misery of poor animals!

Alexandra Messina

Cindi Thomas

Way over due!!

Denise Taylor

Dogs are the most loyal animals and love you unconditionally no matter how they are treated and it is just heartbreaking to see them mistreated or abused!

Missouri has been notorious for puppy mills that sell sick puppies and treat dogs horrible.

Cindy Hall

Because we need to be advocates for the animals that get taken advantage of. They can’t fight for them for themselves. Some humans are very cruel

Fat Guy Outdoors

Totally agree, look at how we treat our children in the womb as if they are a burden when actually its us who didn't take accountability for our own actions. Humans are selfish and cruel.

I think the more pertinent question would be should dogs and other domesticated animals kept as pets be considered property or have other more humane rights? This has nothing to do with breeding. The dogs were neglected and suffered immensely.

Eric Smith

We need more room fulls of people in J.C. working out the details of sports betting, thereby sending exponentially more people into compulsive gambling, and eventually bankruptcy. To hell with protecting the innocent animals.

Fat Guy Outdoors

No, they should have tougher laws on people breeders.
