So the propaganda is still being peddeled like always. If farmers can't supplement their income, they will have to sell the farm to development. Pure nonsense. Puppy mills are not a supplemental anything. They are big business. Alsol dogs aren't agricultural products, yet the USDA oversees puppy mills and dog breeders. Why? Have you ever seen dog breeding proudly displayed at a farm show, or the USDA webpage? Nope. Denlinger needs to tour a puppy mill and then see how he well he sleeps at night. I also don't believe that rescues or shelters have put up roadblocks to dog law revisions. They want dogs to be treated humanely. The protests have been by the breeders who don't want to spend a penny on the welfare of the dogs they greedily exploit.

The tax happy bureaucrats in Harrisburg should develop a prorated puppy tax based on living conditions and veterinary care these breeders maintain for their animals and evaluate businesses with inspections every three to six months. The better the conditions of the facilities and health of the animals the lower the tax. Every animal without proper veterinary documentation and certified health report gets an added penalty.
The tax per animal would fix the one size fits all dilema.
