From the Paper:

"After going over the conditions that most of these puppy mills are in, the next logical question on anyone's mind would be what kind of effect is this having on the dogs that are forced to live in these conditions. There are laws to protect these dogs from cruelty but the question is, are they being followed? The website www.stoppuppymills.org shows all of the laws required per each individual state for the United States. "Because puppies from puppy mills are more likely to have health problems due to poor care, many consumers are faced with significant veterinary bills or even the death of their puppy soon after purchase" (Stop Puppy Mills). In an attempt to hold breeding facilities and sellers responsible, several states have passed consumer protection laws that specifically address puppies."
