Puppy mills
http://www.al.com/search/index.ssf?/bas ... ews?ncrime[/url] I cannot believe there is a possibility that he may actually be able to get these poor animals back! They have said on tv that some of them were severely ill, and show signs of abuse. I will keep you posted on how it goes, but sometimes it seems these types of things just simply disappear. I guess after the initial shock, it is just not newsworthy anymore. Sad, huh? |

| Oh dear, that's practically right down the road from me. Sheesh. I pray he doesn't got those puppies back. |
| i know im going to go off here so i sorry in advance. people who run puppy mills [aren't very nice at all].as many of you know my collie (Jagger) was saved from a puppy mill.i had NO idea at the time i got him.i called an ad in our newspaper for a male puppy collie i have looked at ALOT of puppies.i went and saw this one collie pup he was from show dogs very pricey dogs,altho he was VERY cute and cuddley and i knew he would of been a very healthy dog,i told the breeder id get back to her.i just didnt get that feeling of knowing he was for me.if any of you know what i mean.so i called this ad and the lady in my mind was WACKED out!!i asked her if this puppy was a rough or smooth collie and she told me "oh he is very gentle"i thought are you serious?i said no is he doing to be long hair?she laughed and said oh i know im just kidding you,yes he is a rough collie pup.living like 3hrs apart she said why dont i meet you 1/2 way,and of course i was just thrilled,i said ok.so we met the next day early in the morning.the lady opens her mini van door and in laying in a small crate was this little puppy.he looked so sad and right away i knew i had to get him.i remeber thinking how sad he looked and he almost looked at me as to say please take me home.  so i paid her the 250.bucks,and i just turned away and got into my truck and off to his new home.my BF was driving and i was holing my new buddy.looking over his coat it was dirty,he had fleas,and he wasnt very excited,but i just figured it was his nerves.so we get home,and he is so cute i finally put him down on the ground to go potty,and i notice something isnt right w/ his front RT paw.after a couple of days he was home he jsut wasnt getting the potty outside.well he would go potty outside and then come in and go again,as a nurse i knew something wasnt right w/ him.i take him to my vet,and i was so shocked at everythign this little guy had been put through.1st of all he was severly abused,the [not very nice people] had stepped on his growth plate and broke it!!didnt even take him into the vey to get it checked!!!so he now has a bum leg that functions and he isnt in pain until the winter and only when he has been out playing in the snow for a while.so i give him childerns advil for that.so then he gets a urine test going,this little guy had such a servere bladder infection that if gone untreated for much longer he would have died on top of that he was so anemic from having several worms living in his body!!!the vet told me he was unsellable,and i should think about putting him down.right away i said NO WAY!!!this is my buddy and i will NOT put him down.so after close to a thousand bucks jagger was all better,the scars are there still.he HATES stairs probaly from being thrown down them,and he has his bum leg,but he is the best buddy!!i should add here that my vet and i SHUT them down!!!!!they had to pay over 1,500.00 in fines,and are NOT allowed to owe another animal.jaggers mom found a home her new parents are an older couple who LOVE collies always had one,and she got fixed,and they paid for all her shots,and til this day they are so glad they adopted her.so puppy mills too me are NOTHING but the devil....also i got ALL my money back form these [really really not nice people]. [Sorry I felt the need to tone it down just a little tiny bit. I understand your emotions, but we're a family friendly site!  -Ron] |

Just an update. This man and his wife got these dogs back  ! The Humane Society was able to buy back 50 of them for $100 each. Is this not just absolutely ridiculous. The judge decided that the dogs had not been neglected, but ordered that the owner have all dogs rabies shots given. Until then they had not even had medical care! I guess this goes back to another topic that is really "hot" right now. |
| What?! How are you even allowed to have 50 dogs? I know even the most active showing kennels with lots of kennel hands don't have that many dogs at once! Grr....
Karen |
Appalling! It is so very sad to think that these poor dogs have to continue living like this! 
Thanks for the update Betsy! Kristen |
| Well, if the puppy mill had only kept 50 of them, it would be better. They were able to keep 131 of the 181. Some of the dogs were so sick when the Humane Society got them, they thought they would not make it. I am so infuriated that the judge would give them back. Most of them had never received the first medical attention at all (no rabies shots, etc.). What infuriates me even more is that after the Humane Society paid for medical care for all 181 dogs, they had to BUY 50 of them. |
| whaaaaaaat!!!! Gasp sputter oh my.... The judge should have to live in those conditions for a few days, and then reconsider his/her decision!
Karen (very unhappy at this moment!) |
| Now there is a thought. Before anyone makes a decision in regards to an animal, they should have to go live like that for at least 24 hours before making a judgement. I bet the pups would have never gone back. |
How horrible... 
Kudos to that humane society for doing what they could...... unfortunately, when people buy dogs from these mills, or at auctions etc.... it only creates a demand (in the miller's mind) to produce more. They don't care if it is a rescue desperately trying to save these dogs, if a rescue organization goes and buys 50 puppies at an auction, it is money in their pockets and a reason to breed more. |
