Why is the USDA Bending Over Backwards to Accommodate Our Nation’s Puppy Mills?

Main Line Animal Rescue (MLAR) continues to educate the public to the terrible plight of dogs confined to our country's large-scale commercial dog breeding facilities -- puppy mills. This is why I continue to donate portions of my book's proceeds to their cause. The following information comes from their anti-puppy mill campaign:

 

"In 2010, the Office of the Inspector General released the results of their audit on the USDA. What they found will shock and disgust you. 

While the USDA (APHIS) is charged with protecting dogs in commercial breeding kennels and broker facilities, in case after case, the federal agency has failed to enforce our laws and has allowed untold dogs to suffer while protecting the very people who abuse them. 

We urge you to read the report, look at the photographs, then contact your representatives in Congress and demand that they take action to ensure the USDA is enforcing our laws to the fullest extent."

Please go to the site below to read MLAR's full story and be sure to click on their bus photo that MLAR wrapped in order to "raise public awareness and to cast a light on the inability of some APHIS employees to properly protect these dogs":
