Wrap: Nixon said in a press release the proposed legislation is a compromise among voters, animal rights groups, and Missouri's agricultural industry.
The agreement would add one point one million dollars to the budget and also allow breeders to own more than 50 dogs, a reversal of the original regulations.
Senator Mike Parson sponsored the original bill.
He agrees with the compromise, but says he's worried with the interference from the United States Humane Society.

Description: "That's a disappointing fact that people from out of the state of Missouri don't even want to compromise when all the animal rights groups in Missouri are agreeing to this." |
The US Humane Society opposed the revised proposition.
Parson also says he is unsure if the compromise will have time to pass through both legislative houses by the end of the session.
