The only way to regulate the puppy mills is to regulate anyone who breeds animals, which means mandatory spay/neuter so therefore eliminating any "accidents", license to breed and strict standards like there are in factories.
Puppy mills exist because there are no strict regulations and no one to enforce them. The USDA are more concerned about protecting livestock because millions of people can get sick and die than they are about dogs.
