I haven't had the answer yet about HOW Paws would have prevented this? Does anybody think there will be more or better inspections? This was a STATE licensed facility, was it not? Whether it was under different registries or not, didn't the STATE have the responsibility here? How about the County in which the facility operated? Because I have never, nor will I ever (I hope, if L.A. county doesn't someday want to come see if my bitch is intact or not...) have to have AKC, county, state or Federal inspections, I would really like to know how MORE regulations, instead of better enforcement, would have prevented this. Wow, now THAT is one long sentence! Stormy In a message dated 3/3/06 10:43:49 AM, pmick@xxxxxxxxx writes: > It's an AKC problem for many reasons. > 1.
