I saw something like this on television not too long ago. I think it was on Animal Planet and it was about Dog Dealers or something. It was absolutely horrific. It's not legal and a lot of the dogs are stolen. The dealers sell the dogs to RESEARCH labs
It made me disgusted, mad and frustrated. They finally shut the guy down; it was so sad the way he kept his dogs. Some guy infiltrated the guy's place, and was working there, cleaning kennels (by spraying them from the outside and just spraying all the eliminations all over their food and each other, getting them all wet, and it was freezing cold and there the poor dogs were all wet and only wet cold cement to lie down on. A lot of them were sick and if they decided that they had something wrong with them, instead of getting veterinary care, they shot them in the head. It was just awful. I wish they'd put these people into cages and treat them the way they treat these poor, helpless, voiceless dogs. To think that any dog is treated this way, much less one like my baby, is unthinkable and makes me sick. It's a shame there aren't more of those "animal police".
