Default What's your take on all the recent Puppy Mill busts?

I am so overjoyed to see so many puppy mills being busted lately. But then so saddened to see the conditions these dogs are in & to see the conditions they have lived in.

Why do you think so many are happening right now? There was the huge one out in Washington state last month, then the ones in Missouri, Tenn & NC

Part of me thinks that one bust spurs someone else on to report another puppy mill, and so on. But maybe there is more going on. Are elected officials & authorities taking animal abuse & neglect more seriously?

If you don't know what I'm referring to you need to read our News section
Yorkie News & Site Announcements - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community

I am also excited about the stories I have been seeing about crackdowns on these people - the new legislation making animal cruelty a felony in Arkansas. Seeing someone sentenced to serious jail time in Missouri. Los Angeles cracking down.
