Gentlemen, Maybe we should stop bashing the Amish. For the most part they are good people and most of all they are God's children too.
We can't judge the whole for what a few practice. There are many more main stream Americans that run puppy mills than Amish. I just happen to live close to them and my daughter helps the animal shelter so I am exposed to the local abuse which happens to be Amish. That is why I posted in this thread.
The Amish are a hard working, basically honest, Talented people and this area depends on them for many things.
There are different groups with in the Amish community and each group has their own ways of interpreting their beliefs. Some go strictly by their old ways and lately the younger groups are becoming more modern.
