Puppy mills are root of problem
TO THE EDITORS:
Is there an alien website asking us to kill God's creatures? Who can kill those precious, lovable, innocent, sweet, darling pets?
If this website knows about the Lancaster County travesty, why didn't it appear years ago and try to help ban puppy mill breeders?
Townships and municipalities are now trying to clean their own backyards. Many spay-and-neuter programs are available.
As for cheating, no bigger cheater exists than the breeder who sneaks his dogs down the road to the little white house -- with no barn -- and tries to fool the buyer into believing this is a family dog.
It all starts with allowing puppy mills.

(Editors' note: Letter is in response to an Intell/New Era story (2/15) on an activist Internet site asking Humane League of Lancaster County to reverse course. A petition at ForceChange.com is demanding the local animal shelter hire an animal-cruelty investigator and revise its no-kill policy.)
