That is just awful. People don't care about where their dogs are from and as long as the dogs are bringing in money, they don't care about their conditions.
I don't see how anyone can keep ANY animal in those conditions, be it a hamster or a horse.

Is there a local network that would be willing to show this video on television?
I really don't know.

It makes me quiver with anger at the thought that the government/local councils sound like they're not doing much (or anything at all) to sort this problem out, which seems to be a major issue for concern.
They really could care less. I don't know about surrounding cities, but in Lafayette we don't even have an ordiance about keeping your dog chained 24/7 (or if there is one, it isn't enforced).

I've never even heard of most of the towns these puppymills are in, so I doubt the regulations on animal care are strict or enforced at all. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

It's extremely sad to see animals living in these horrid conditions, with injuries and illnesses. You can see they have no life in their eyes.
What is even worse is when you see them perk up for a moment when they see a person and then they just slowly slink back down to the cage floor with that dead look back in their eyes.
