No Christmas puppy … supplemental

Follow-up on the Boston Herald’s excellent reporting on puppy-mill outlet stores. Predictably, there’s talk of new laws and regulations. That will fade; it always has. Puppy mills were first exposed in Life magazine in 1969.
The only thing that can stop a puppy mill is dropping sales.
Don’t buy so much as a collar from a store that sells puppies, and don’t support this incredibly cruel trade in living animals. Buy your pet from a reputable breeder, or find a loving pet at a shelter or rescue group.
