Humane Society: USDA records on puppy mills missing from website

Source: The Hill



An animal rights group claims important animal welfare records are missing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's website.

The Humane Society of the United States on Tuesday said it struggled to produce its annual report on puppy mills because of missing data from the agency on pet breeders.

USDA removed all of its animal welfare inspection reports and most enforcement records from its website on Feb. 3.

The agency claimed it removed the records during litigation in an “abundance of caution” to “protect individual privacy."
