Activists push tough rules to end Pennsylvania puppy mills
Megan Anderson visits Scarlet-Maple Farm Kennel for evidence of cruelty as activists and officials push Pennsylvania's strict new dog law. The law doubles cage sizes, bans wire floors, requires vet checks and better ventilation while regulators and breeders clash over its impact on licensees like Daniel Esh and dozens of Pennsylvania kennels. Anderson aims to gather proof for a cruelty case that could end Esh’s operation and hasten dog removals, amid widespread industry closures and economic strain in Lancaster County breeders.
