The AKC can only remove someone from their list, if they are breaking state laws, and many states have such lax laws, which really makes you wonder how bad these places are that have been removed from their registry. Unfortunately, many of these breeders just go to one of the alternative registries, where rules are much more lax, and many people don't understand the difference between registries.

It seems like animal cruelty just isn't a priority for law enforcement or the court system.
