i recently heard of a puppy mill in indiana. they have about 400 dogs in horrible conditions.. they have a website at
Clover Puppies from Clover Meadow Kennels... A Missouri Blue Ribbon Kennel
the girls who got a puppy there thought USDA was a good thing...until they arrived and no one greeted them, they walked around and discovered the poor animals. they were told by the owners that they were trespassing after discovering what they had hidden in the barns. they are reporting them to the authorities..
