| Great link!!....thanks for posting this info. I read somewhere (i think here on YT) that the USDA at one time encouraged farmers to breed dogs for income. Kind of ironic to see the link tabbed 'USDA investigation reports' when you click on it. |

| This is a great site, but I have to say that I sat here and cried when viewing the videos. I cannot imagine how anyone could do this to these poor babies. It breaks my heart ..... |

| Thanks for the link. I have saved in favorites and will pass on to friends & family. I am shocked that so many people have no idea about what goes on with animals. So Sad!

| Things like this just make me sick! I think it would only be fair to let the owners sleep in small cages and walk on poop and urine 24/7.

| One that I do not think was mentioned was John Graber in Odona Indiana. He is an Amish Puppymiller out of Indiana. I think it's worth mentioning because the video posted was so horrific. I've enclosed the link but it's for those really with a strong stomach. A little s**tzu lost it's leg after a Pit Bull in the cell next to her ate off her leg when it dangled over. I'm really not trying to upset anyone by posting these links etc. but in order to fight these mills we cannot hide our heads. THINGS LIKE THIS NEED TO BE KNOWN. This is really the only way to fight them. Even if it keeps just one person from buying from places like this. Elaine |

| Well the world know's John Graber now!! The Amish are notorious for puppy mills.It sickens me down to my soul. The anger I feel towards these people cannot be stated here. Educate, Educate, Educate and get the word out there. The suffering these animals have to endure. What goes around comes around, that's a given. |

| I have been to places like these and will never get their memory out of my heart or mind. I tried so hard to save them but I could not. I went the the Humane Society, Police and to the news media but what was being done to these innocent animals was not illegal. Our own government the U.S.D.A. has encouraged this type of industry to help people in rural areas make a living. I am sorry to get so emotional about this but I am just horrified that people will do anything for monetary gain. For the faint at heart do not search any further but if you have the guts and want to do something for their honor then continue reading...then act! www.prisonersofgreed.org Yorkies are my passion but I know inside every dog big or small..free or imprisoned is a precious little spirit put here for us to love and protect. We all have a responsiblity to do our part. If you are going to buy a Yorkie that is wonderful but make sure you do not purchase a sweet baby whose Mother will live her life in a 3X3 cage for the rest of her life without hugs and kisses and a warm bed on a cold winters night or a reassuring hug that everything will be alright. For these babies they will never know love only pain and misery. I am so sorry if I have offended any of you but I just could not let this opportunity pass.

YT 500 Club Member | That video was so sad. It is so sickening how these people act. The poor shih tzu had her leg eaten off and he didnt seek any medical attention for her. They asked if they ever get out and walk and he says NO. What kind of person is that, just sick and greedy!
