[quote=Anonymous] This story was originally broken by Kim Kavin in 2015, when she did visited breeders, auctions, puppy mills, pet stores, rescues and shelters and wrote her book, The Dog Merchants. It came out in paperback in 2017 and I highly recommend you read it. What I like is her very nuanced approach to all these stakeholders. No one comes out of it looking good, and definitely not some of these "rescuers" and some "non-profit" shelter/rescue organizations whose administrators are skilled PR managers and who command significant salaries. Eye-opening. Mostly it makes me feel that stricter laws are necessary, and that instead of only punishing people who think little of animals, we should award certificates for ethical and health-focused breeders and support a database for those (already exists but has no government backing), to steer the public away from cruel mills.
