This is a very interesting article called Inspecting The Inspections - it's about the USDA's kennel inspections. Very disappointing. I found this passage of particular interest: You've heard the expression "A license to kill"? Being a USDA breeder or broker is "A license to abuse". If you or I tie a dog out back and starve it to death, we have violated state and/or local laws that protect animals from abuse and neglect. If a USDA licensed facility does the same thing, they have violated the 'rules and regulations', not the law. Here is the article: http://www.igsafehouse.org/livestock.../LSReport5.pdf |
Another interesting article on just how bad things can get, despite the USDA. Ten breeders and brokers, 473 USDA violations |

Well, that clears some things up for me, now I can better understand why these new laws are being addressed in the penal code by the various states. |

3 Attachment(s) I've been looking for organizations that are concerned with protecting pets, but are not against breeding for them. I found one organization called CAPS, (Companion Animal Protection Society) I don’t know much about it yet, but it seems to be pretty good. I was watching a video made by CAPS, interviewing USDA breeders who sold to the Hunt Corporation. Hunt, of course, claims that they, as well as USDA inspect the dogs they sell, and their kennels are the highest standards. Larry Watts, a USDA breeder who sells to the Hunt Corporation states: " I told him (a USDA inspector), I told that one guy one the these days, one day out here, oh he wasn't getting smart, but he was telling me I need to do this and do that. And I said, 'I'm just not that concerned about it, And he said, 'what do you mean' and I said, I'll 'just have me a dispersal shooting.' He didn't like that much. I was dead serious. I'd get rid of 'em. I'd have a dispersal shooting. . . I shot a few, but it was out of necessity." View Investigation Report |

You seem to be forgetting that most millers live in very private areas. Not too many people have access to these kennels. I think on another thread you said you talked to a couple of local policeman who weren't even aware of any kennels in their areas, yet it had a high population of Amish who often have kennels. Them not being aware of any kennels, does not mean that there are no kennels, it just means that nobody has reported them for any violations, but then again who would, the USDA? I think not. |

Please know that not all Amish communities have puppy millers as members. I would hate for people to be misled and assume that Amish= mill. That is just not the case. |

No one in this thread has ever implied or said that Amish communities=Mills. People have mentioned the Amish mills in Indiana and elsewhere - those are 2 entirely different points. |
