Um, the Grabers? Daviess County?
Better yet, just enter "puppy mills in Indiana" on google or yahoo - and read for yourself. Especially interesting are the descriptions of those who filed repeated complaints with the USDA regarding Indiana mills, about which the USDA did nothing. I would think since this is the
area of your focus, you'd be well aware of all this.
Read about the Grabers and see how ineffective the entire process was in Indiana. They didn't even want a jury trial, bc they pretty much knew no jury
in that county would convict someone of animal cruelty....I guess bc the mills are so "accepted" in that area.
