At least on this side of the boarder.
It may not be public out side the puppymill groups but there is fund raising going on to help her.
So while you may have laughed at the post thinking I was right out there, when if fact this is a growing concern for those of us that advocate strongly for no puppy mills and also gentle training methods.

Calling someone's breeding practices a puppy mill could be construed as slander, calling someone a name such as "a**, isn't considered slander, it's just an opinion. We are still free to call people names, just as long as they aren't members of the forum! I was just trying to reassure you that this new member wasn't setting you up. You seemed a little suspicious. Besides, the way she did it would be considered entrapment!
Again, I wasn't laughing at you, and I meant no offense.
