		<description><![CDATA[On Monday I wrote a post on BTC4Animals, asking for help petitioning Petland USA to stop selling pets and fire puppy mills, especially after Petland Canada announced in September that they would be winding down this part of their operations.  And what a great response &#8211; there are now nearly 30 bloggers who will be writing about puppy mills and Petland today!  Stephanie [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blogger pal Dr Lorie Huston posted something that caught my eye concerning harsher penalties for animal abuse.  While Lorie&#8217;s post references a specific instance of cruelty, the idea reminded me of a recent move in Pennsylvania to weaken the landmark anti-cruelty laws focused on commercial breeding mills. PA Republicans are suddenly worried about how the 2008 law that prevents cruelty in puppy factory [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saturday night I checked out a tweet from blogging pal Jim McBean linking to an Examiner article about banning pet shops, and later stumbled on a post from Scratchings and Sniffings on the same subject. Both posts dismissed the idea, one as if it were a Machiavellian government plot, and the other as a silly way to get rid of puppy mills.  The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We know the drill. We&#8217;ve heard it repeatedly. The USDA fails over and over again to enforce Animal Welfare laws. Puppy mills and bad actors get fines dismissed, continue to operate with no loss of income, the animals sit in filthy cages, sick, wounded, dying, and the USDA just keeps shuffling paper.
