skennedy, a question: In your list of things you object to, you’ve included “closing down pet stores”.

Why would you object to that?

Unfortunately,HSUS misleads us because it has engaged supposedly in projects that we don’t seem to mind (maybe saving whales). However, the problem is that via this belief of projects we may not mind, there are LAWS that HSUS brings forward that impact us pet owners. When all breeders, particularly dog breeders are lumped into milled dogs that abuse dogs, we have a problem, Houston.
When laws and legislation are pushed to MSN everything, limit pets,stop dog breeding, and force shelter dog adoptions, closing down pet stores, I have to draw that line.
And when the line is drawn, there can only be 2 sides. Pet ownership or non pet ownership.Not which breeder, not which kennel, not which show makes HSUS look good. Even Gerry Spence in his recent Catching Pigs (on his blog) explains how corporations use ads to dumbdown the public. And boy has the public been downed by HSUS. Go look at some of their lawsuits, and the lawsuits across the country. HSUS misleads and even lies about it.

Thanks for posting the link for NESR donations and helping to get the word out. It’s a sad situation and no one is going to win in the end.

I can’t resist playing:
“We’re from the HSUS and we’re here to kill your dogs right after we pose for a promo shot with the authorities.”

On the breeder, I hope this gets sorted out quickly. Either way (guilty or innocent), the longer it takes, the more time dogs must suffer.

Thanks for the link.

As much as I’d like to hate a “breeder” like that, I’d like to see her demeanor on camera. So many facts lead to “half-assed puppy miller” but many also lead to “mental hoarding disorder” as well.

I think there are many big time puppy mills out there that are as effective in selling their puppies to stores as they are evil in knowingly and willingly inflicting suffering on their ‘factory producers.’

I don’t think this person’s path to this horrible place started with the same evil intent. But it certainly ended in the disaster, and she certainly picked up some of the big time puppy miller traits (small breed dogs, i.e. pugs) along the way.

It’s scary how little the government could really do in this case despite more than a decade of advanced warning and run-ins.
