Our laws do a poor job preventing puppy mills. Just like banksters; the perps need prison time, not fines or bans. My shepherd was rescued from a puppy mill, and thankfully she turned out to be a wonderful, and not emotionally or physically damaged dog. Please consider adopting a rescued dog, and please do anything you can in your area help stop this brutality.
