USDA Criticized For Lax Oversight Of Puppy Mills

Source: Associated Press

Federal investigators have uncovered grisly conditions at so-called puppy mills around the country where dogs were infested with ticks, living with gaping wounds and in pools of feces, according to a disturbing new report that placed the blame on lax oversight.

Investigators say the Department of Agriculture, which is in charge of enforcing the Animal Welfare Act, often ignores repeat violations, waives penalties and doesn't adequately document inhumane treatment of dogs.

In one case cited by the department's inspector general, 27 dogs died at an Oklahoma breeding facility after inspectors had visited the facility several times and cited it for violations.

The review, conducted between 2006 and 2008, found more than half of those large kennels — known as puppy mills — that had already been cited for violations flouted the law again.
