Why aren current laws enough to deal with puppy mills?
Indiana’s current animal cruelty code is incredibly weak. Neglect is only defined as failing to provide an animal with food or drink or tethering an animal for more than a short period of time with a tether that is less than 3 times the length of the animal’s body. Additionally, many cities and counties in Indiana do not have animal ordinances. Local laws to regulate commercial breeders simply do not exsist in many cities and counties.
