| Beware- this might make you cry!! I don't know if people saw this in the news, but I couldn't find a specific link to this story that happened in February. February 13, 2009-Working in cooperation with the Greene County Sheriff’s Department, the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force is rescuing more than 90 dogs living in filthy conditions on the site of an unlicensed, substandard dog breeding facility near Pleasant Hope, Missouri. The Greene County Sheriff’s Department issued a warrant that was served to remove the animals today. The majority of the animals are believed to be Yorkshire Terriers. The animals’ kennels were observed to be covered with feces and urine. The animals appeared to have no access to water or food. Many of the dogs have severely matted, overgrown hair. Some appeared to be limping, possibly the result of living in cages with mesh bottoms which do not properly support the small paws of these dogs.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | The owner should be put in a 2x2 cage! God Bless this team of workers who worked so vigourously to rescue them & hold them & clean them up!!

| Thank you for posting that. When I have read that they rescued dogs that were severely matted, I had no idea! I never imagined mats that bad, so bad they could not walk right; and toenails so long and deformed. They were nothing but skin and bones once they shaved them. Those poor, poor babies! Most will probably be physically handicapped for the rest of their lives and I imagine they all will carry the emotional abuse scars forever. Makes me just want to have a public stoning for those mill owners. How could they ever have let that happen?

YT 1000 Club Member | It's just deplorable! It sickens me and saddens me to see such a sight. A question popped into my mind as well. That is, how in the world are any of them able to nurse puppies through all of that nasty matted hair? I'm not familiar with how these things work with the new puppies brought into the world in this horrific situation. This woman needs to have allot more done to her then what she got. What stops her from doing it again under another name or in another location? They can shut her down but as long as she's walking around freely what's to stop her?

What!!?!!!!? How is that justice?? She will be reminded of all this when her day comes.... I really hope all of those babies are able to find the best loving home ever. That was heartbreaking to see the last baby that couldn't even use his right hind leg because of the matting, even after they shaved all of his hair there was still no use....

| I don't even know what to say. I have tears in my eyes right now. Hot Rod came from Missouri and everytime I hear something like this I wonder if he and his mother and siblings were in these conditions. I agree, the owner should be put into one of her 2 x 2 cages. And yes, I agree with the above poster, those people who helped with the resuce effort are angels and thank goodness for them.

| Oh my God. That absolutely broke my heart. And just think how many puppy mills there are around that no one even knows about. Animals suffering everywhere.
