Only among people who pay attention to this issue, like people on this BB.

You should see the "tourist" part of town, even now... We were out that way yesterday, and the traffic was INSANE. I think half of NY and NJ was here. They FLOCK here to buy clothes with no sales tax and to see the Amish.

Puppy Mills are a horrible thing. I am with you all that they need to end. But how? I don't think fines and confiscation are the answer. Dry up the market for these animals. There has to be a way to do it, I don't know how, but there has to be a way. The reason I say fines and confiscation won't work is because the plain community (Amish, Old Order Mennonite and some Bretheren) is LOADED. They can easily replace any losses...

A pickle indeed...
