WoW

That just makes me SICK to my stomach!!!! Also how did he get his license RENEWED!!!!!! That makes me even more mad!! I feel so sorry for these animals!!

Congratulations to you and the effort you put into it.

This must make you feel wonderful knowing you exposed this creep!
It makes me so upset when they say he didn't break any laws even
though they were all living in filth

It's just plain cruel to make
any living thing live this way especially when your making money off
of this living breathing thing. I would think, yes these people are
breaking the law because they are exposing these poor dogs to
desease. And that should be against the law to deliberately make
anything breathing sick!

You should be very proud of yourself.

Omgosh, how terrible

I cannot believe he is doing all that in his house and no one has noticed! They actually inspected his house and said it was "satisfactory'? No way

MindieRose · 02-27-2008, 08:58 AM

I just watched that video. I feel sick to my stomach.

hartygirl · 02-27-2008, 09:41 AM

Poor dogs! That just makes me ill.
That was a very good peice that the news chanel did to cover the story. I'm sure it outraged a lot of people in NY! Good for them!

MindieRose · 02-27-2008, 09:48 AM

There's a phone number on the site...I might have to inquire on a puppy.

JeanieK · 02-27-2008, 09:53 AM

Good Work
It doesn't sound like the local authorities were able to do much, but hopefully the news story will do enough damamge that they will have to shut down.

I went there last year when we were looking for a pup. Thank goodness... I did not get Zoe from them. I knew something was not right with that place and I'm so glad I didn't get a puppy there! They were right, he never let us beyond the front room just as you walked in. It did smell of dog but I'm not sure I would say it was overwhelming. We saw the parents which did not look healthy and the mom was way too small to be breeding. Someone was also coming to look at the "Puggles" so there were a couple of pups running around. One of the Pugs went potty which didn't alarm me with a pup but he had diareah which did concern me. There was no way I was getting a pup there and don't you know.... leaving the place I got stuck in the mud. It was a nitemare. The lady who did wind up getting one of the Puggles eventually was able to get me out. I knew I was never going back!!! So sorry to hear this kind of thing is going on right in my backyard.

There are 3 or 4 places around here like that and they say there is nothing they can do because these people are not breaking the law. In my opinion the law needs to be changed.

danyellm · 02-27-2008, 10:12 AM

this is a 3 part series the second will be airing tonight asking the authorities how can a place like this pass inspections?Laws really need to be changed!

Rudys Mom · 02-27-2008, 10:17 AM

That was really great that you exposed that terrible place.

Good for you.

Those poor dogs having to live like that.

What a shame.
