Crackdown on puppy mills

Last week Pennsylvania passed the most stringent law governing puppy mills. The new law imposes strict standards on commercial kennels, including at least twice-a-year veterinary exams, larger cages and exercise requirements.
Due to the exposure on Oprah Winfrey's show and the involvement of the Humane Society of the United States, Pennsylvania became known as the puppy mill capital of the world. The governor hopes the new bill will rectify this. Three other states: Arizona, Louisiana and Virginia have also passed legislation to curb this problem. I hope Florida follows.
