There's a reputation that it's common among Amish farmers in Ohio. I'm not sure how much of that is true and how much is bigotry, but it's notable that the Newsweek story is out of Lancaster County, PA, the heart of "Pennsylvania Dutch" country, which they also describe as the heart of the puppy industry.
Still, I think the title of this thread should be "another reason not to buy animal products from a farm you haven't personally seen."
