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... |
I don't disagree with anything you've said here. But I think my question still is (and not just for Indiana), if the laws in place are already "enough", then why is Mill cruelty rampant? If the law works, then why aren't we hearing of 10 mills a week being busted? If we have laws in place, whether for 1 dog or 1000, then what's falling through the cracks?
