Source A: “How much is that Puppy in the Window” This article discusses animal advocates role in putting an end to animal suffering in mills. Their aim is to make laws aimed at shutting down large commercial breeding sites. Such as a law that prevented pet stores from purchasing their adoptable animals from large and poorly run puppy mills in attempt to put the mills out of business. Breeders are also taking a stand by suing the USDA because their laws would likely put them in the hole financially. It has been a constant war between animal advocates and breeders.
Source B: “Puppy mills: Misery for sale” This source and source A both mention that the USDA lacks the monetary resources needed to enforce laws made to regulate puppy mills. As well as how strict laws may put pet stores out of business so they are usually not put into action. Both say that action needed from the government at the top to the pet adopters at the bottom.	Source C: “SOMETHING STINKS: THE NEED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION OF PUPPY MILLS” agrees with source A and B with the idea that action is needed from federal government before changes start to happen.  But also states that customers are creating a problem by purchasing puppies from stores that receive shipments from puppy mills. When a puppy is adopted, there is a new spot that the pet store needs to fill with another puppy from the mill, it’s a vicious cycle.
Source D: ASPCA website states that regulations that are supposed to be enforced by the USDA are not even relatively close to humane. Also mentions that violations of the few laws that regulate puppy mills go unpunished. The article also mentions good news: federal inspectors are now allowed to go behind closed doors in kennels in order to check for safe and humane conditions for the animals are in tact.	Source E:
