Sybil Soukup, executive director for the Human Society of Northern Iowa joins the program to talk about how the Humane Society of the United States ranked Iowa as the state with the third-highest number of puppy mills — with 11 noted locations in "filthy, hazardous" condition. The annual Horrible Hundred report lists dog breeders that fail to provide adequate care to dogs and puppies, based on state and federal inspections, complaints from the public and undercover investigations. Missouri had the largest number of businesses on the Horrible Hundred list at 21, followed by Ohio with 16, and Iowa at 11.
