Not a law, but enforcing the law??? Can't enforce something that not a law?

they also seized all of the animals from an "animal sanctuary."
Exactly, Can we not see that as wrong? or our we so focused on the puppy mills that we can't see that a good helpful person was hurt, by their "enforcing the law" thats not a law!

the ASPCA makes no profit from siezing puppy mill dogs.
As for them making a profit, all I can go by is the story with Brandy. They shut this person down and there was 12 pure breed Min Pin's. all adopted out for anywhere to $180 to $200. The Min Pin's where all adopted out within 2 weeks, most in a week. When talking to the woman, she said to me, so many people want pure breeds, that there are never here long enough for us to have to invest much into them. So no, they didn't make a huge profit like the puppy mill people would have, but they did make a profit of some sort. She told me, we get calls all the time for pure breeds, people not wanting to pay the huge fees for them, hoping we have what they are looking for, here. I'm not saying thats why they do it, it just an observation.



Hopefully no one gets me wrong here, I am very happy they shut down the puppy mills, as they should be. What does bother me, is the bending of law. Even if the reasons are good, laws are around for a reason and people seem to have no problems with bending them, when it comes to others, but let it happen to then one day???

Don't bend the laws........Change them, if they are not working right. We should not so lightly except the bending of laws, for what ever reason, then the laws become more of a guide line, to be bent at any time a person feels like doing so. There are many laws I disagree with, but I still obey them, because they are laws. I don't get to pick and chose what ones I like or don't like, it's not my right to do so, as it is no ones right.
