I have never in my life given any thought to puppy mills. I've always known they exist, or at least I've heard the term "puppy mill" before but never really knew what that was exactly. Since we've gotten our dear little Laci (from a "byb") I'm learning alot and it's got me to wondering.
It is my understanding that the puppy mills are legal, and governed by the ?? Agriculture Dept of the US government?
I know that cavalier lovers do all they can to rescue as many as they can. I also know that other breeds of dogs are also rescued as much as possible. While this is very admirable, I've been wondering if there has ever been an effort to actually change the laws. Actually trying to get puppy mills outlawed completely? I'm sure I have an idea of the first response to that question. And yes, I'm sure it would meet with great resistance, but hey... rome wasan't built in a day and there have been many many laws changed about a great many things... Why not go for outlawing puppy mills completely. Lobbying the government etc?
