Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Very interesting article overall, esp. this quote: "Almost all pet breeder associations link to NAIA and AKC websites. The mouthpieces for the Pennsylvania and New York Pet Breeders Associations are Amish and Mennonite puppy millers, whose U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspection reports list repeated violations. [6] In 2006 the AKC registered 870,000 individual dogs and 416,000 litters. At $20 per dog and $25 per litter (plus $2 per puppy) the AKC brought in well over $30 million in revenue from registrations. Litters from puppy mills are the registry's largest source of income"

| I think this website shows another side to many of the issues we have discussed on YT. I think everyone should become very educated on what is going on in the animal industry.
