Local TV News report On Pet Shop Pups( Update Part3)

[lizbud]

Part 3 was last night. What happens when breeding dogs don't produce
any more puppies? They are left in cages to die if they can't be sold. I had
heard of a different fate , but wasn't in the report.


Here's part 3 & few dogs bought by the TV investigaters & turned over
to our local Indianapolis Humane Society for adoption.

Ok I was reading some of the responses on the link you posted and I totally don't understand this person. I don't have sound on my computer at the moment so I am unclear on the reference to PA. Is she saying that the poor Amish are somehow being persecuted by the evil AR dogooders in PA?

So, are we supposed to do what those AR dogooders in PA have done and shut down "Amish puppy mills", run out of small breed pups? There, they're breeding them speutering them and "adopting" them out for high adoption fees. Leave Mr. Graber alone. His religon forbids his picture being taken. If you were true journalists you would have found out what "Amish" means before you went there. As far as I'm concerned, my dog is my dog is my dog and I'd NEVER sign a contract!


I have also never heard the term speutering before...I guess that is an amalgamation of spay and neuter.

Unfortunately, once an article is published & online, any nutcase can make
a reply to it. I didn't really read through the published replys.

Yea. I know. I was just hoping someone who might have a more open mind than I apparently do could figure out what this moron was trying to say because frankly I think she qualifies for some kind of idiot award.

What I read of the articles themselves was really great. Kudos to the news for doing the expose. I hope it makes a dent in the problem.

I wish they would do something like this on Spanish television, god knows we need it over here.
