The surge in fuel costs with fixed interstate rates triggered the halt, with debates on rationing and price adjustments and calls for energy diversification and rail rebuilding to reduce highway dependence.
The report details widespread abuse from puppy mills including killed and sickened dogs, unsafe store practices in Virginia and California, and a Doberman bought from a shop with a lung infection. It notes scant federal enforcement, a lone strong state law in Illinois, and urges adoption from local shelters or area breeders.
