They would do their businees and hope they don't get caught. You want to get a eye opener? I am also going to give you a address of a legal puppymill that houses 500-600 dogs in my state. This is totally legal ! When you see the air photo/birds eye view, it looks like a cattle or horse barn. Nope, it's a dog breeding mill ( IMO) thats legal. Go to live search maps, then type in 1805 Riverview RD, little falls, MN. He was going to bebark them all , but the neighbors thought that was cruel, so instead he keeps them inside ALL THE TIME so the neighbors don't hear the 500 dogs bark. The laws that need to be addressed are dogs not being housed or treated like cattle ! All these pups go to pet stores all over the US. You want to have to have a drink? Go look for yourself, and then pass a few shots of tequila to me please. |
Breeders hate breeder restriction legislation. This legislation doesn't talk about restricting breeding; it just says that if you sell over 10 litters of puppies you must register.
I actually think there is nothing necessarily wrong with a place producing lots of dogs, if it's done properly.
