Your first post of this thread - credit should be given to http://petcaretips.net/puppy-mills.html because it is an exact copy and paste.
Here is the proper credit on the second post of your thread: http://www.hsus.org/pets/issues_affe...n_puppy_mills/
In college, this is called plagerism. Passing off someone's work as your own is known as plagerism.
Individuals who plagiarize material deliberately are committing an illegal act. More common is the failure of an individual to cite the sources of their information. It's ok to use pictures and paraphrase text but be sure to cite the source of your information.

Everything I posted and copied and pasted was done with the express permission of the entity holding the copyrights! The husa was thrilled that I was dispersing the info and gave me full authority to do so. For you to assume otherwise and accuse me of doing something illegal by attempting to give the people of this forum some way to feel they are helping is UNCONSCIONABLE!
