Virtually every hobby breeder I know has been working for years to put puppy mills out of business and educate the public. In addition, MOST puppies sold by hobby breeders are required to be spayed or neutered.
If states would enforce their own laws on animal abuse, MANY of the puppy mills would not be in business today. I doubt they will be able to enforce this new law either, however I really REALLY don't want to have more government intrusion in my life.
BTW, a couple of my friends in successfully got a puppy mill to close down, as they did a little undercover work and got her on AKC violations, so she lost her ability to register dogs via AKC. It was alot of work, but it was worth it, as her facility was really really bad.
