Add another voice to the growing choir of those speaking out against puppymills! DOG WHISPERER: INSIDE PUPPYMILLS. Friday, May 8 at 9PM ET/PT. With hidden cameras, LCA operatives spot-check several Los Angeles County kennels — essentially dog-breeding facilities that may be exceeding legal capacity limits.
Ailments go untreated as puppies bide their time among the dying and the dead. These are the squalid conditions of puppymills, where it’s estimated more than two million dogs are mass-produced for profit each year. The more people learn about puppymills, the better chance we have of stopping such practices.
Luckily Billy found a happy ending, sadly many puppymill dogs aren’t as lucky. Please, if you are getting a puppy or kitten, consider rescuing from a rescue or shelter, or find a very reputable breeder. Sadly too many dogs sold in pet stores come from puppymills like this one.
Months after Missouri voters approved a measure that cracks down on what animal advocates say are some of the nation’s most notorious puppymills, lawmakers are poised to repeal much of the law, saying the rules are too costly and punish legitimate dog-breeders who generate an estimated $1 billion annually in the state.
This complaint is the result of proposed legislation to ban puppymills in Ireland. The dog breeding legislation, intended to outlaw “puppy-farming”, was prepared by Green Party leader and Minister for the Environment John Gormley. The draft Bill proposes a new regime of annual inspections and fees for dog breeders.
It has about 140 stores nationwide that sell puppies that supposedly come from "good" breeders (are any breeders good? The investigation revealed that some of Petland's brokers are also buying from puppymills. Some of the breeders were found with sick or dead dogs in their cages. but that's another post.)
Would such a bill lead to jurisdiction over puppymillbreeders as well? And, of course, this board would be dominated by big ag's people, so I think they're right. There may also be unintended consequences. It's an issue to follow though.
From rescued puppymill dogs, to people who felt rescued by their dogs, the stories all have one thing in common; rescue dogs rule! In 2008, two-year-old Bill was released from a puppymillbreeder and put out to auction after spending the first two years of his life sitting in a cage.
The fallout from the huge puppymill seizure is fueling calls for a review of Quebec's animal rights laws, which are abysmal even for Canada. Animal welfare workers are calling for stricter laws on breeding facilities after more than 500 allegedly malnourished dogs were seized from a Quebec puppy farm last week.
One of the largest animal rescue operations in Canadian history just got a lot bigger: about 90 puppies have been born since hundreds of dogs were seized northwest of Ottawa. "We We have a lot of puppies here and a lot more puppies coming," said Rebecca Aldworth, the executive director of Humane Society International Canada.
