NEW JERSEY — It’s not good to cross Carmela Soprano.
Edie Falco, TV wife of New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano, seems as formidable to the woman she portrayed during the decade-long HBO hit series from 1997–2007.

The Emmy Award-winning actress is now on a mission – for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) – to shut down New Jersey’s “puppy mill pipeline. It’s a cause that Falco has championed for the ASPCA for several years.
Falco just released a new video on the ASPCA website to voice support for proposed bills ( S2511/ A4051 ) that would ban “commercial breeders,” – known as puppy mills – from selling “cruelly bred puppies” in Garden State pet stores. Those measures would also crackdown on the unseemly breeding and sale of cats and rabbits.
Hudson County state Sen. Brian P. Stack (D–Dist. 33) and Sen. Raj Mukherja (D-Dist. 32) proposed the original bill, along with many state Senate co-sponsors and bipartisan backing in the Assembly for the companion bill.
