This article is a good indication of how the Press has been hoodwinked into thinking PAWS is going to solve the Puppy Mill Problem. If enforcement in the State of PA is "far from lax", then how are operations like these allowed to continue operating? Seems to me the State authorities are not doing their job, and should be called to account for it, rather than getting the USDA involved. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051106/ap_on_go_co/puppy_mills_2 Steve Visit Two Feathers German Shepherds online at http://www.wmj1944.com Website updated 7/7/2005.
