I saw this in our local paper recently. I'm not sure how widespread puppy mills are here in Mississippi, as most of the attention in recent years has been to stamp out dog fighting.
On a side note, there is a bill going before the state legislature to make animal cruelty a felony in some cases, rather than just a misdemeanor. My understanding is that Mississippi is just one of 4 states where animal cruelty can only be prosecuted as a misdemeanor. |
