Exactly WL!! And the cycles continues. Businesses like Petland count on all of us animal lovers out there, our big hearts, to keep the vicious cycle going. Seeing a sick, homeless puppy in a cramped cage, one that we fear will be euthanized, makes all of us want to "rescue" them. And as soon as that puppy is purchased, they replace it with another I believe that legislation, banning the breeding of ALL dogs in puppymills, is the only way to stop this once and for all. The AKC does have a LOT to do with this as they issue AKC Pedigree papers to these puppymill owners and their puppies! I constantly email/write my legislators, and those in states where puppymills flourish, imploring them to support legislation to shut them down. Sudilar has a great thread running with an email "chain" to muster support from notables and celebrities. I'll find and post the link to the thread soon.
