Pet Stores
 

Due to continued inhumane treatment of animals sourced from puppy mills that end up in pet stores, there MUST be increased regulation to ensure that the highest standard of care be given to these puppies.  Violations should require severe penalties or removing the ability to sell puppies in the store.
