The answer for mills has to be somehow through enforcement, publishing known mills, shutting them down for what they are.

And what is and how is a puppymill different from commercial breeders? They often keep dogs within the regulations for commercial breeders and somehow don't look a whole lot different to the millers.

The fact remains in my mind Dogs and for that matter cats, should not be overseen by a Dept of Agriculture in either of our two countries.

They are not livestock, and should not be treated as such.

A seachange is necessary, how that will be, how it needs to be molded, I simply don't know.

ONe needs to stamp out the rot at its' core. That being the laws and regulations regarding breeding of dogs under the Dept of Agriculture, for profit.
