Back during the industrial revolution (1750-1850) children were treated as prisoners to work in mills and other industries. It took many many years for anything to be done to save these poor children from the injustice of their suffering. The wheels of justice seem to turn very slowly even in this nation that is far advanced over many areas of the world. There has to be a very public outcry in order to get public sentiment behind a just cause. So far there has been far too little public education and the media has been mostly silent about puppy mills. Puppy mill owners seem to have some power to lobby against restrictions as most bills that have been presented become watered down by the time they are passed. It is going to take some serious organization to get strict laws passed to stop this disgusting industry. |
