I am so enraged about what I just watched on NIGHTLINE tonight, I can't even express it adequately. There was a segment about PUPPY MILLS run by the Amish of Lancaster, PA. I am somewhat familiar with both the peoples and the farms of the area, and I never would have suspected that they would be involved in such a despicable money making enterprise if I hadn't seen it. They described their practice of de-barking dogs, the dreadful C-sections they perform, and of course the totally deplorable conditions they're kept in. Apparently these operations are pretty widespread throughout the community and they've been rather successful in keeping it hidden. So much for their beliefs against "worldly conformity." They've proven to conform to much of the same EVIL they appear to shun outside of their private, peaceful world.
