This is overkill however there is a Mill just down the street from my parents home in rural Illinois.

I know it is a Big dilemma! But if they could enforce EXISTING laws it would address these mills. Instead of funding enforcement of the existing laws, pouring more money into new bureaucracies isn't going to help in my opinion. Plus, it's sort of like gun laws, only law abiding citizens will be effected by the laws, the criminals just ignore them. As long as people buy puppies from mills, thinking that they are rescuing them, the mills will continue abusing the animals and breeding more puppies. If we stopped supporting them with our purchases, they would stop breeding. I think education has to be the answer.
