Very eloquent, Villette. As long as I live I will have the pic in my mind's eye of the dogs in cages behind a barn in So. PA. There were 2 people who went in saying they were interested in dogs and might be considering starting a pet shop. While one distracted the "thing" the other one walked around back where she photographed animals who had been put back there in crates so they could starve to death..Yes, that is a fact. I participated in a letter-writing campaign to have the license rescinded..Our leveredge was that Lancaster and York, PA are dependent on tourism and shoppers dollars. We wrote to the officials and said simply that we would start a campaign across the country telling the story of the criminal treatment of animals. There is now a site that tells about that "pet" industry..I am sure you can find it under Amish Puppymills. |
