This article holds special interest for me because we have two rescue dogs. I will write their stories later.
States cracking down on puppy mills
Intro to article quoted below:
OMAHA, Neb. - "Bob Baker has seen the worst of the worst in his 27 years as an animal cruelty investigator. There was the Missouri breeder who would skimp on food by skinning dead dogs and feeding them to other dogs in his kennel. There was the South Dakota breeder who used a handsaw to amputate the leg of a pregnant Rottweiler, injured in an attack by another dog, in hopes that the Rottweiler would survive long enough to give birth to another litter.
Baker says such cases are the exception, but adds that mistreatment of dogs in large-scale breeding operations remains common and troubling."
