The big changes from the Obama administration are publicized, but what is getting lost are the myriad small changes in government policy that come in under the radar. Thanks to columnist Gail Collins for calling attention to one that is hard to believe.
The Department of Agriculture has taken down its list of violators to the Animal Welfare Act, including “puppy mills” that feature unsanitary and even dangerous conditions.
The justification for this new policy, according to Collins, was that the list violated the privacy of people who are cruel to little dogs.
Collins suggests that the next time you go to a Town Hall meeting held by a Republican congress member, you shout out, “What about the puppies?”
I’d go a step further. If you have friends who voted for Trump, ask them about this. I’m curious how they will defend it.
