Why do you think Indiana has so many mills that 10 a week could be busted? I travel the southern half of this state at least twice a week, and either I am blind or they are well hidden secrets, so where is the information coming from that we have a plethora of mills here? I really would like that information. And if someobe knows of people breeding dogs in deplorable conditions in my state, I hope they are ratting them out, whether it is one litter or 20.
Dogs are always going to be second to humans in the eyes of law enforcement. Unless you are going to substantially increase the budgets of police agencies and prosecutors, the priority will be crimes against humans, not dogs. If our agencies had better staffing and more funds, they could broaden their scope of protection to more species. But that means more taxes of course, and elected officials who raise taxes do not get reelected here.
