| OMG that is so horrendous...you kind of expect the shi-shi pet stores would have been more legit, but I guess it's anything to increase the profit margin So sad... |

| Awful and disgusting, they should so make such tough laws on this, I think it is about time. I do not mean huge fines, I mean Jail time, and not days neither. Something long enough for them to remember, others to learn, treat it like it is a federal offence. My brother got a yorkie from a puppy mill a few years back now, the dogs outside area that is fenced in for him looks like a miniature horse racing track. I never why why and nor does my brother to this day. Now from this video I guess we now know.. he just goes around in circles all the time. His wife will never have another yorkie because of this. But when I saw their yorkie. I have to admit, I told her he should have been put down. After 7 years he still does he circles, and is afraid of everyone but them. It broke my heart so badly to see this. I have never had a strange yorkie that would not come to me. But he would go to the far side of the yard or house to avoid me getting close. poor little guy. pooh's mum |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Puppies from pet mills don't know the difference between sold at Auctions or Fancy-smancy pet stores. I hope this opens more folks' eyes to the horrors of puppy mills and stops selling of puppies in all Pet stores. |

| I think this is a perfect example of not buying into appearances. Just because the store is located in Bel Air doesnt mean that they are any better than any of those homes with dozens of pens filled with dirty, sick pups. Everyone, no matter how rich or poor, needs to take the time that is needed to ensure that they are not keeping millers in business. It actually makes me sick that the people out there who can afford such costly puppies have very little concern about what they are buying. I mean, they can afford the best of the best....but they look at that doggie in the window and assume that they are getting quality. Very sad... |
