Summary:
Animal rights activists say an investigation into deplorable conditions of a puppy mill in the Midwest that allegedly supplied dogs to several Glendale pet stores, helped convince the Glendale city council to consider banning the sale of dogs and cats from pet stores in the city.

Animals that had hair that was matted so much that the eyes were closed off, and that they couldn’t see.”
