Puppy Mill Law

[Margarita]

can there ever be a law passed that will ban puppy mills?

[Bob Baker]

Unfortunately legislators are reluctant to pass laws prohibiting businesses from operating. Some states do have laws that attempt to regulate the practices of puppy mills but unfortunately these laws are usually enforced by the state departments of agriculture who are reluctant to penalize farmers who operate many of the puppy mills.

I read that Pa. farmers are not only allowed to kill the dogs after their usefullness is over but then they can fertilize their field with the remains. Can we at least work to stop this? I loathe the puppy mills and would love to see them stopped and I certainly don't want to eat any produce which was fertilized with these poor creatures remains.

There will be legislation introduced shortly in Pennsylvania that will prohibit puppy millers from shooting their dogs. It is a comprehensive piece of legislation banning many of the practices commonly seen in puppy mills.
