The AWA is over a half-century old and has not kept pace with our changing times, and the USDA is failing vulnerable animals. We will also continue to work with our partners at the state and local levels to prevent the cruel practices tolerated by the USDA from affecting their communities.
The ASPCA will continue to advocate for federal-level changes and work through the courts to hold the USDA and those who violate existing laws accountable. Insufficient laws, coupled with the USDA’s neglectful enforcing of its bare-bones welfare regulations, has proven to be a recipe for massive animal suffering. However, the USDA usually chooses to take no action at all. When breeders violate these standards, the USDA is responsible for initiating enforcement actions against the licensee. The USDA oversees the licensing and inspection of puppy mills to ensure they comply with the AWA’s extremely low standards. Female dogs can be forced to breed during every heat cycle, with no opportunities for their bodies to recover. Under current regulations, USDA-licensed puppy breeders can legally keep dogs in small wire-floored cages-stacked on top of one another-for their entire lives.

Pudgy, also known as the Owa Owa dog, has had his death confirmed by his owner. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-the federal agency charged with enforcing this law-has all but dismissed its responsibility to the animals under its oversight. Unfortunately, the federal law charged with protecting dogs in puppy mills-the Animal Welfare Act (AWA)-isn’t strong enough to do the job it’s meant to do. We have been fighting against puppy mill cruelty for decades. You can help hold the USDA accountable by signing our petition urging the agency to truly protect the animals under its oversight.Department of Agriculture (USDA), the federal agency responsible for enforcing this law, is failing to properly regulate puppy mills-allowing inhumane, cruel conditions to persist. Today marks 54 years of the Animal Welfare Act, the federal law regulating the treatment of animals bred for commercial sale, used in research, transported commercially or exhibited to the public.Already a member?
