We have got to get some legislation that will stop puppymillers & the horrible people that are using dogs in unconscionable ways to produce puppies that are so often destined to live disease-compromised lives amidst their behavioral problems. Since state and other laws aren't working to stop the problem, we have to give this or other legislation a chance or push better legislation. I imagine breeders have a good bill in mind they could get behind and tell us about so we can push that. If it takes the Fed to stop puppy mills and bad, bad breeders, wouldn't it be worth it since every day millions of dogs are living in misery as it is? Maybe the price we pay is paying way more for dogs but wouldn't it be worth it? We can't keep asking just the dogs to pay the price.
