Actually it is very easy to sue, winning the case is another situation. It still takes lawyers and $$$ to fight a lawsuit even if you win you lose because of the amount of $$$ you had to pay out.
This site could be shutdown because of a lawsuit. I have seen rescue's shut down because of lawsuits, not that they were wrong just didn't have the $$$ to fight it.
If you start reading all the documentation on puppy mills you rarely will see someones name until the end of the trial. There is a reason for this and that is because of lawsuits.
I can't remember if it was on this thread or another but a YTer had excellent advise on the steps you need to take if you bought a puppy mill dog that died. Her advise was excellent on something else I would like to see keep on this page. One of her points was contacting the BBB=Better Business Bureau, not that they could do alot but now it is a public record.
I realize alot of people have passion about this but the only way it is going to change is if everyone understands it is all about laws, not passion.
You might find it interesting that YTCA does not support the PAWS legislation.

Dear Members,
The Board of Directors of the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, Inc. has passed
a motion of nonsupport of the PAWS Legislation . We do not support Senate Bill 1139, House Bill 2669, being the same bill. It is our Board’s decision that this legislation is not in the best interest of the Yorkshire Terrier Breed. The objects
of our club encourage and promote quality breeding of purebred Yorkshire Terriers. We set the standard of excellence for our breed with the breeding and showing of our dogs. It is our responsibility to improve our breed and encourage
the preservation of its characteristics and its health and well being.. We feel it is our responsibility to continue these efforts for our Breed and for anyone who
wishes to own a healthy, well socialized Yorkshire Terrier. We therefore do not support legislation federalizing hobby breeding in our homes. We encourage our members to write the Agriculture Committee, their Representative and both their Senators. A sample letter will be provided on our YTCA Bulletin Board for your information. Again, we oppose the PAWS legislation.
Regards,
Janet Jackson
