Puppy Mills – A Chance to Make a Difference

From our friends over at Dogster (in the US) who are raising awareness of a political issue affecting dogs in the shape of puppy mills.

This year there is a spectacular candidate running for the Senate in Missouri – Claire McCaskill. Claire McCaskill has been the State Auditor in Missouri since 1999.

One of the industries that McCaskill audited was the commercial kennel industry. Dog lovers know that there are more puppy mills in Missouri than in any other state.

McCaskill took a courageous and principled stand when she audited a large industry in Missouri.
