What I find irritating is that nobody has mentioned that those people were puppy millers, plain and simple. I also find it irritating that those whiney puppy millers turned back around and said the SPCA was trying to make money by "selling" the dog for 120$.


Ummm...Because those dogs were from puppy millers, they were, in consequence, intact. The SPCA's purpose is to control pet overpopulation. As such, they speuter all dogs who pass through their facilities. This doesn't take a genius to figure out. The SPCA initiates a 120$ adoption fee to cover the speuter surgery, teeth cleaning, vaccinations (if the dog has not received them), and meds if needed.

Fox-Gal, I see that you have many pets and I can understand why you have mixed feelings. However, I know you know what puppy millers are and those cases were pure puppy mills. They bred dogs in filthy cages (I mean, come on, the dogs were muddy and matted), namely small Poodle mixes. As well, Tom Brokaw admitted that the living spaces needed improvement.

Well, I'd like to see those people live in "less than desirable" conditions for their whole lives and have themselves bred every heat cycle.

Sorry, I'm passionate about my breed, and my breed happens to be one of the most to be bred (or ruined, for lack of better word) by BYBs and pup millers. Needless to say, I was fuming at the obvious one-sidedness of 20/20 and Tom Brokaw's sarcasm made me .... uh, let's just say it isn't legal.
