I just don't understand the crux of the puppy mill problem. There are so many stories in so many states about puppy mill raids, abusive conditions, sick animals, owner arrests, etc. But little changes. The same story just keeps repeating itself, just in different states and news sources.
Are the laws allowing entry into this business too lax? It seems like all sorts of shady characters are involved with puppy mills. Are there no inspection and standard of care laws? Or are there sufficient laws on the books and the issue is lack of enforcement?
