Isn't that just sickening that live animals are sold all over the net ? The thing with enforcement of the USDS is they just dont have the manpower and we all know that's a bunch of BS and could easily be changed.
I've read that the number of inspectors vs mills are so far off balance it isn't funny - plus the inspectors let so much slide. I'll never ever understand how someone can see neglect and the massive amounts of miserable dogs sitting in horrible conditions and not try to do something - sure they may write a report - but in reality - the mills are winning.
I really do hope what you said is true and will happen. Baby steps that's for sure but anything is better than nothing
