Maybe this should have gone in the news section? but I don't have access there:

Yorkies are one of the toy breeds rescued in this disgusting puppy mill in Peotone, IL, called Phoebee's Puppies.

Again these are always sad sad cases... but they never charge anyone enough to make it stop... 10 years in prison might deter it somewhat,...
I am glad she got caught.. for the sake of the dogs..

Shut one down, five more pop up. It's amazing how little knowledge, IMO, the public has about puppy mills and byb. That's what keeps them going.

I am always amazed when someone tells me they have never heard about puppy mills. They are in the news and I would think everyone would know about them. I take every opportunity to tell people about them. When my therapy Bichon, Cosmo, and I were at the library on Wednesday, I mentioned my little puppy mill rescue Chihuahua, Kozanna, and a couple of the women had never heard of puppy mills. I carry pictures of all of my pets because the kids are interested in Cosmo's family, so I showed them Kozanna's picture and told them about puppy mills. I wish there were a better way to raise public awareness.

Oh jeeze she just got overwhelmed...yeah sure with the amount of money she could make. These people really need to get at least a quarter of a million dollar fine or a damn 5 year jail sentence.

I live in IL too... I know where Peotone is. it's tempting to hope this kind of stuff happens anywhere but your home state, but it's everywhere
