I have to say that none of this surprises me. Why, even with our blood children, their best needs aren't always met. I know of children that have been in abusive situations that have been returned to the same abusive home in order to 'preserve the family unit' and that is in Texas. I also know of children that have been in the system due to abuse and have been sent back home to receive more abuse and eventually die from it. So the fact that we cannot manage to do what is best for our animals is not shocking when compared. Shameful, yes. Disgusting, yes. Shocking, no.

Excellent point. When "the system" allows HUMAN CHILDREN to live in the conditions that some of them live in, how can we be surprised that these mills are allowed to continue. When our laws are so inadequate, it's really no bragging point to say, "I pass inspections, and am above the law".
Whether we're talking about children or animals, LAWS shouldn't be our guidelines for their love and care....conscience, common sense, and compassion should be.
