    This argument pretends that you can’t support shutting down the mills while adopting. It also ignores the stray population and revoking of adult dogs, which is the biggest burden on shelters.

      No. My argument is exactly that you should support adopting dogs while better enforcing laws against puppy mills.

      Those edge cases that you mentioned are the ones that shelters should be there for.
