JEFFERSON CITY, MO. (AP) -- Individuals and groups outside Missouri are spending money to support a ballot measure that would add new restrictions on dog breeders.
The question on the Nov. 2 ballot would limit how many breeding dogs Missourians could own and how frequently the dogs could be bred. It also would set rules for the dogs' living space.
Proponents have raised more than $1.7 million for the campaign, with more than 90 percent of the money coming from organizations based outside Missouri or people who live in other states.
Supporters say many Missourians are members of those organizations and that people living everywhere care about the condition of dogs in the state.
