Why are these laws not working? Because in my humble opinion, they are hardly working at all....despite the fact that we're seeing more busts.
I want to be shown cases in which law enforcement attempted a mill bust in Indiana that did not work because our law was not good enough. Let's make sure what we have really is broke-- or is it just not being used?? I disagree with creating laws because of public perception-- and that is the lawyer in me, not the dog breeder.

Again, this law does not provide for any better enforcement opportunities other than the current citizen driven complaint format. Do you really think people who breed dogs in deplorable conditions are going to stop just because a law says so? Or that they will participate in a voluntary registration process? Those that are already neglecting their animals are not going to straighten up just because a new law is passed. Their conduct is already illegal. They are already scofflaws...
