HLN doing a show on puppy mills right now (7 pm ET)

Heartbreaking stories. I'm ashamed that many of these hell pits are in PA.

1. What's HLN?

2. Headline News (ch. 33 here)

Jane Velez-somebody is on --- I think she subs for Nancy Grace. It's pretty good actually.

She is really encouraging adopting a shelter dog and knocking pet stores (esp. Petland).

3. Cool!

4. Aren't most of those hell pits run by the Amish?

5. Many of them are in "Amish country".... don't know if the Amish actually run them.

Here is a link that I found on Google:

I don't know if the info is reliable, however. I believe PA has recently enacted a new dog law that requires minimum standards for enclosures (no wire cages, no stacking) and exercise. How effective enforcement will be remains to be seen.
