Puppy mills should be completely banned in the U.S. These inhumane "factories" are tragic and cruel. No amount of regulation will end these conditions.
Why is this important?
This cruel and inhumane practice is still continuing because people who buy
pets in pet stores have no idea how horrible these "factories" are.
Regulation is pointless. Shelters are full. The owners of these mills are unconcerned about the animals that are used simply for breeding.
