Just a word of advice...please be careful of what you say when you mention "Puppy Mill".
My fear out of these "puppy mill" threads,....is that all of a sudden, you have a Yorkietalk lynch squad.
For the sake of being Devil's advocate...
What makes you an "expert" at knowing what is a puppymill?
If you were asked to testify in court,...and they asked about your credentials...what makes you CERTIFIABLY a puppy mill expert in the eyes of the court?
If your answer is: Because I BELIEVE dogs should not blah blah blah...
then you can expect to be laughed at.
Just a word of advice to anyone on here that starts running to the hills screaming "Puppy mill"...you had better be careful. The very words that you say...can get you in a whole lot of trouble in court (libel, slander, defamation of character, etc.).
I say this...because there is at least one incident that I know about, where an automotive enthusiast had posted remarks about an automotive dealership that had performed work on his car. I don't know all the details, but from what I understand,...the dealership sued and won.
I'm not a fan of puppy mills, but I also don't like the fact that people can possibly ruin the name of a perfectly legitimate business. Most of which is behind the business owner's back, as opposed to in their face.
You don't agree w/ the way they run their business? That is fine. You are entitled to that opinion. HOWEVER, for you to run around and post remarks that can be considered libel...is wrong.
You think that a person who breeds animals (dogs) as a business is wrong. Fine. But guess what? There is NO LAW that says this is illegal. Maybe it is morally against your beliefs but that is all...
