yorkies, pugs, poms, maltese and and more...
They are located in my state so i gave them a call and asked if i could come see the pups. Gina, the lady selling the pups told me i could come by in a few days, i asked if i could see the parents of the pups also and she told me that all the pups she had available were from Korea and shipped to her at 6 weeks old. this immediately teriffied me. All i could think about was those poor dogs stuck in puppy mills in Korea. they probably dont have any regulations there for dog owns.
So i called the local humane society, apparently they have been to Gina and Bens house many times but were not able to shut them down because it is actually legal to get dogs shipped in from other countries!!!
I just felt so helpless. I wrote to our states representatives and the other politicans about this and asked them to pass a law so that out of country puppy mills wont profit from the USA.
I have not gotten any replies but i do enourage any one who is equally upset about this to do so.
And please stay way from star yorkie kennels. Buying from them is only supporting the torture that these poor animals go through on a daily basis.
Isn't that just awful. Those poor babies. I hope they can stop them, wonder what other States are buying puppies from out of Country? Is there any sites on the web selling puppies through Korea? I mean don't U have to have solid proof before U write anyone? I don't know I'm new at this and trying to learn the laws and what to do and not to do. How in the world do they find people like this in other Countries? Word of mouth? Newspapers? Just wondering how and where they get started in this.
