I don't doubt the illness of the puppy, it seems like many of us get our puppies home and they are sick with kennel cough within 48 hours.
If this guy is such a sham, we here at YT should make sure the word gets out in it he is reported to the appropriate authorities to stop anyone else from falling victim to him. People like him need to be stopped, if the rumors and stories are true. |
He might not be breaking any laws so it is very difficult to do anything except spread the word. I'm not saying not to try I just know they can get away with a lot and still not be shut down. From just the posts on YT that I've found we have six members that have had bad experiences with this guy but not much that can be done about it.
We see a lot of stories on the news here about mills because we are close to Lancaster PA aka puppymill capital USA. Any dog lover would be horrified to see how they are kept. Legally.
Here is part of my point to the above statement - there was an undercover news investigation where the reporter went to the farm, showed cage upon cage upon cage....200 cages in all enclosed in a barn. That is how they live. They were there when an inspector inspected the place and found a dead dog and I swear I will never forget this...the reporter asked if
anything would be done - a citation, anything and the inspector casually shrugged and said, "no, with this many dogs it's bound to happen." Didn't even bother to find out what killed it first.
There are a lof of people that might not think that is that bad including people who control these things. And there are worse if you really want to look for them.
Sorry to go on so and back on topic...
myorkies2, I'm sorry you are going through this. I hope they are better soon.
