Dear Editor:

What a shock to learn that the magistrate had only given Callie Abel a slap on the wrist for  “running” a sickening, horrible puppy mill! She was forced to LEAVE Aiken County for having the same kind of operation so she just moved from one county to another.  After the raid & hours of planning by the local authorities & the USHS in Washington there was no punishment.  What’s going on here?

At least these animals are getting homes where they can have someone to care for them.

Hopefully, we can work together to have a law passed that will not allow puppy mills in South Carolina.
