Who gets to decide what is and what is not abuse? Is this story believable? If they do hope to sell these dogs and breed more, the conditions for these dogs must be optimal for a going concern, other wise they would be unable to breed and sell, thus forcing themselves out of business.
It is possible to irresponsibly breed, which leads to unwanted characteristics in a breed, but this is also a sign of a short lived breeder, because who wants a neurotic lab. The problem, if it is a problem, is self correcting. Concerning yourself over it means you've got too much time on your hands, or your priorities are out of wack.
So far I have not seen a problem, if it is so obvious one only needs to remove his head from his ass, then you shouldn't have a problem answering those questions.
