I have attempted to reply to this several times, but can't seem to be able to come up with the right words. I just can't believe that the writer of the article would include the recent shooting. And it end it by saying "The Amish are many things, but to us, they are neither an "innocent" or a "gentle people." - To me, this ending is to make people think that the girls who were killed were not innocent. I could be wrong, but it made me feel that way. I know that Amish people do run puppymills, and of course I am against that. But, not all Amish people have them. And, non-Amish people run puppymills also.

Sue, I agree, this should be moved to the Dog House.
