In 2012, there are 2,497 USDA licensed dog breeders and 852 USDA licensed dog brokers in the USA. The USDA and APHIS are overwhelmed and understaffed and can not properly regulate these overcrowded facilities that continue to operate with repeated and egregious offenses and violations.
If your administration would ban all large scale breeding facilities, you could, eliminate a huge financial burden placed on the USDA and American taxpayers, reduce the problem of overcrowded rescues and shelters in our country, and become a model for humane living throughout the world.
You have the power to create a world free of animal abuse. Make this your first step. I urge you to learn more about Puppy Mills and the atrocities suffered by breeding adults. www.thepuppymillproject.org. Act Today!
