I also wanted to say. No, keeping dogs in pens for their whole lives and breeding them every heat cycle is not against any legal law. No, keeping 120 dogs with a kennel license is not against legal law. No, breeding dozens of breeds and dogs at any single time is not against legal law.

However, it is against my moral law. And I listen to a higher authority than 20/20.
That was my main point.............it's not illegal and thats what bothered me. No one should be above the law. Morally right, the law is still the law and as much as we don't agree with it sometimes, it's still the law. Making it acceptable to bend the law, can lead to more bending and should we give any one person that right, to bend at their will?

And yes I know what Puppy mills are, they where clearly puppy mills, no question there and I to am glad they where shut down, for moral reasons. I just didn't like the bending of the law.

The show made me wonder about my Brandy, she was taken away from what I was told, that she lived in horrible conditions. But when I got her, took her to the vet, he said she was in perfect health, a little over weight, but all in all perfect. Her ears and tail had already been done and she was tattooed. I got her 1 day after they rescued her, so was she living in bad conditions?

She was fat, healthy, had her ears tail and tattooing done, no worms, no nothing, perfect. A day after I was told she lived in the worse conditions they had seem, in a small pin, in her own waste and that under normal conditions they said they would not have adopted her out that soon, but sense it was me, they did, knowing I would take care of any health problems that came up. There was none.

So was she taken care of properly and loved and just taken away for for what ever reasons and I was just told this horrible story to make it sound acceptable? I just wonder now.............even thought I'm happy as can be that I got her and feel that no one could love her more then me. I know from when I got Cannilla, who was living in horrible condition, living in her own waste, she was full of wip worms, skinny and very sickly and showed signs of being un loved and cared for. Brandy had no signs, except for being happy. They said from the time Brandy was born she lived in this small pin, never to be let out. But, She was house broken....And leashed trained? if she lived in a pin, how did she learn to jump at the front door, when ever she needs out?? Was she taken from a home and not a pin? Was she loved? and does this person miss her loved pet? I don't like wondering I want to know the right thing was done. Not that I'd give her back.
