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.
