If national parent clubs, rescue groups, etc. followed suit, we might actually reach a tipping point and see a real national investigation/conversation on puppy mills that could make real changes. Then again, my mother spent a lot of time yelling at me for daydreaming... Absolutely it could have been better written and more focused, but he knows a good opportunity when he sees one.

He points to specific examples of what should be labeled as animal cruelty under Pennsylvania statutes and wonders why if the people are currently breaking cruelty laws, and so many people (including rescue people) know about it, why nothing is being done. It's a very valid question. You can read a much longer version of Yate’s comments here:

If he wants to reach more people, he needs to be concise and get his facts straight. The hamster wheel type cages he mentions were not the sole enclosure for the dogs. The wheels were adjacent to an indoor cage. I don't think he's helping anyone here. That e-mail he sent out is so conspiracy theory-ish and he just goes on and on.

Bella used to keep moving around to get away from her, but apparently she has given up and accepted the inevitable." If that isn't an "Awwww!" moment, I don't know what is! Awwwww! “And when I look at them under my desk, it looks as if I have a double-long Cavalier because Harper lies with her head resting on Bella’s rear.
