Tony La Russa has stepped up to the plate to voice his support for Missouri’s Proposition B, which set standards for pet breeders and is meant to reduce some of the negative consequences of puppy mills.

No stranger to animal activism, vegetarian La Russa started an animal shelter after rescuing a cat in the San Francisco Bay area. He appears in a pro-Prop B commercial that was unveiled today.

“Thousands of dogs are crammed into small and filthy cages for their entire lives at these large scale puppy mills,” La Russa says. “No responsible pet owner would ever treat an animal like that.”

Prop B is endorsed by several animal welfare organizations, which appear in the ad, including La Russa’s own Animal Rescue Foundation, Humane Society of Missouri, Humane Society of the United States, Best Friends Animal Society, ASPCA and the Missouri Alliance for Animal Legislation.

SANDUSKY, OH - OCTOBER 30: Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) (R), Samuel 'Joe the Plumber' Wurzelbacher and Cindy McCain wave goodbye to supporters after a campaign rally at the Gazebo at Washington Park October 30, 2008 in Sandusky, Ohio. With less than a week before the U.S. presidential election, McCain launched a two-day bus tour of the swing state of Ohio, where some polls show his opponent, Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) leading by nine points. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Joe The Plumber is back, not as the McCain/Palin sidekick, but a supporter of the Tea Party and a group called the Alliance for Truth, who is against changing legislation that would require dog breeders in Missouri to up their care for animals and eliminate breeding practices that are detrimental.

Proposition B will be voted on by Missouri residents in November and Joe The Plumber wants them to know no one should keep a dog owner from leaving a piece of food in the water bowl. Or something like that.

“Missouri’s Proposition B makes it a “crime of cruelty” for a piece of dog food to be in a water bowl or for a dog breeder to treat their own pet if they become ill… (No folks, I don’t make this stuff up.)”
