"But first Pet Stores need the billions of lost taxable income back into their hands so they can do the right thing . To once and for all end the 60 year battle against a term that has matured into a pure marking tool, to take jobs and taxable income away from hard working Americans."

The puppy-mill industry has never and will never care about "doing the right thing." Going back half a decade of documented industry abuse, this has been very, very clear.

There is no way, and no how that the folks behind this blog will ever sign on to the idea of raising puppies as livestock, no matter how much the puppy millers clean up their kennels, no matter how many white frocks and name tags they put on their kennel staff. U.S.D.A is the United States Department of Agriculture, and a "clean" puppy mill is nothing more than a factory farm for the production of pets to be shipped and sold to a public that doesn't know any better.

A cleaned-up puppy mill still will not give a rip about congenital diseases. Still will not give a rip about socializing. Keeping costs of production down will still be the primary goal, not producing healthy, well-socialized pets. A reputable, ethical breeder isn't in it for the money; a puppy-miller always will be. There's a definition for you.

I cannot and will not ever recommend a pet-store puppy to anyone looking for a family pet. Ain't never gonna happen, so take your "concern" about all those "hard-working Americans" who are puppy-mill scum or puppy-mill outlet scum somewhere else.

"By Supporting your local Pet Store which sells Puppies and Kittens you are helping to eliminate the need for the Term Puppy Mill."

But you're not eliminating puppy mills. Sell it elsewhere, sister.
