Thanks for posting this, Ernest! Here is my comment and letter to the editor:

Dear Editor:

One has to wonder why the USDA should play a role in inspecting puppy mills. Doesn't USDA stand for United States Department of Agriculture? We're talking about pets, right? And isn't the USDA the same organization that inspects animals raised for food on factory farms, where animals are overcrowded in windowless warehouses, loaded up with antibiotics and other drugs, and slaughtered in the most inhumane ways? Why should we rely on their word for the humane inspection of puppy mills? This is ludicrous! Petland profits from puppy mills! Bottom line. Making Petland pay for their ignorance of the spay and neuter law is the least Austin can do, and shutting Petland down permanently is the most, and the right thing, Austin can do.
