PUPPY MILLS

If the Amish are such astute business people as Kraybill says they are, why don't they employ "the customer is always right philosophy" in regards to their puppy mill problem? It's true that they are farmers and dogs are animals but there is no way they're going to win this one. Their only recourse on this is to comply with a standard of care and conditions that are beyond reproach.
The only question is, why haven't they done it yet? My answer is, because they aren't the close knit community they used to be. Individualism and greed is what's stopping them from solving this. If they approached it the way they approach a barn raising they could kick this thing in no time.


uh this isn't going to make it any easier
