Law would allow sale of dyed animals

The Orlando Sentinel reports that one of the bills that passed late in the legislative session would overturn the current law that prevents the sale of animals that have been dyed.  The bills sponsor indicates in the article that the sale of bunnies and chicks that are days old was an unintended consequence of the bill.  Various animal groups have labeled the practice as animal cruelty and are urging the Governor to veto the measure.
