I would say that as far as the USDA and any other body is concerned, no law allows for the blatant cruelty like in the video Nancy posted...yet it happens every day. That's why I'm an enforcement advocate more than a legislative one. Animals suffer day in and day out while the newest group or coalition bangs their head on the wall of their legislature. When you get a group together on one issue, you can't afford to squander that energy chasing red herrings. |

Laws are broken everyday because they know they can get away with breaking the laws. The people HAVE TO STAND UP and speak out..they have to tell the legislative system..I AM SICK OF IT AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE...Conflict or in the case of YT, Drama makes people read and start to understand. Maybe the conflict of these organizations will make people wake up and either enforce good laws or change what is on the books.
I have to also say, we have been talking about puppymills on this forum for years and people are acting shocked by Nancy's thread...they should be shocked puppy mills are still going on (especially after Oprah's Show)..they should be shocked at AKC's involvement in volume breeders...they should be asking how they can make changes. They should be reviewing their state laws...There is a ton everyone can do to end the suffering of so many animals. |
I feel your frustration and want to validate it. I think this section is one of THE most important ones here, yet it often gets so little attention. I know people are so very passionate about Animal Welfare here at YT, so I often wonder why this section isn't more active. I sometimes wonder how much location has to do w/ it (being way down here)...?
