If they would just strictly enforce the laws already in existence there would be less problems.
If they really wanted to help end puppy mills they would make it illegal to sell companion animals in pet stores or by brokers.
How many people are going to buy a pup at a mill when they have to visit there to get the pup? |
I agree and that is what I wrote to them, that if they were truly concerned about the animals they would shut down the breeding barns and require that the dogs be kept in the home.
It will triple the load on the USDA and therefore be less inspections.
Here is where you can go to write to your representatives.

I believe that it is important for all dog lovers to get involved, not just the breeders, considering all the posts from those who have bought their babies from puppy mills.
I'm going to attempt to copy and past this information into the General Discussion Forum.
