1,000 dogs rescued in West Virginia

Crazy b**ch! People like that should be placed in wire cages in the hot sun with no water. Here's a link with some pics and a video http://www.humanesociety.org/hsus_field/hsus_disaster_center/disasters_press_room/a_thousand_dogs_freed_from_wv_082408.html I will say that the dogs they showed actually looked healthy and were good specimens of the Doxie breed. I love the pics of the super pregnant momma Doxie. Poor girl. At least she will be safe along with her babies. Why are puppy mills NOT illegal?!?!?!?!!??

I don't understand that the lives of these precious babies are not valued... They are living, breathing, feeling babies and it's not illegal?!?!?

I totoally agree that those people should be given a tast of their own medicine. We could all just walk by and ignore them!

And No, I haven't put in an application for any of them yet! We did go see the momma Doxie and pups at Petsmart yesterday. Cute pups but looked like dad was a big brindle Pit/hound mix or someting. The pups were really big and looked nothing like Doxies.

Monica, I figured you would have already been in the car on the way to West Virginia :)

That is so sad. I sure feel lucky to have my home when I see things like this. xoxo LCC

check out what all the states do regarding puppy mills- http://www.hsus.org/web-files/PDF/legislation/puppy-mill-laws-chart.pdfhttp://www.hsus.org/web-files/PDF/legislation/puppy-mill-laws-chart.pdf very interesting . How can things be improved ?. Can the governor do it ? How do you get the legislation ? When I read that she "said" she wouldn't raise dogs anymore it made me ill. If you have no sense of how wrong this is , what about the economics? Can you imagine how much money this idiot has cost the shelters striving to do the right thing .Why doesn't she have to pay ? Maybe if we could hit the pocket book of these "breeders" they would stop . Have there always been this many puppy mills ?
