Would dogs be considered LIVESTOCK especially those in Amish Puppy mills in Ohio that to the Amish are considered “livestock”???

Claire, While Issue 2 doesn’t specifically define “livestock,” there are several definitions of livestock in the Ohio Revised Code. None of these definitions include dogs. Dogs are addressed in a number of separate laws that mention dogs specifically. Given that Ohio law distinguishes between livestock and dogs, I I think it safe to assume that the Livestock Care Standards Board would not address dog care. Peggy Hall
