Pet store chain linked to puppy mills - Pet health- msnbc.com
I really dislike the USDA right now. Wait till you guys read that humane conditions and treatment of animals in animal breeding mills, such as puppy mills (not to forget small animal mills), is "low-priority" to them (to the USDA, I meant. And they're the ones who "regulate" the mills. Un-buh-freakin-leave-able.)
So, uh, whats high priority to them? Whats so important that humane treatment and conditions for animals in breeding mills seems as ridiculous to them as "plant welfare" would obviously seem? They're implying that ensuring humane treatment and conditions for animals in mills is the same as making sure that grass is humanely treated as it is made into hay. Pfffft.
Oh well. What do you all think? Just click on the link and read the article first before you comment, so you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Oh yeah, the article is basically about the infamous Petland chain. The HSUS has been conducting an extensive investigation to help prove the accusations that Petland was reselling puppies from unregulated and "regulated" large-scale breeding mills. The investigation recently came to a close, and it was quite successful. Yay!! This is a good part, at least. Maybe President Elect Obama can/will do something about animal mills, like passing a permanent law that prohibits mills
. Its time for a change. Yes we can. Hope. Darn right. Especially pertaining to this issue.
