Do you Hate Commercial Kennels?

I work with the NHS here to help with uncovering Puppy mills in Nebraska.
As of right now we only have one inspector for the whole state

You are so welcome, Unfortunately there is not much that can be done! Keeping dogs in tiny cages for 15 years is not a crime. As long as they are clean and have adequate shelter from the elements, fresh food and water the U.S.D.A. are okay with this. If you log onto the U.S.D.A. site and look at the requirements they do have the size of cage you must have according to the size of your dogs. They must be able to turn around without their head touching the top or their front or back end touching the sides. Can you imagine our little fur baby living like this? This is legal!!!!!

The only thing that will stop this is for people like me and you to not give our money to people who do this kind of thing for a living. If these commercial breeders have no demand then their pups are worth nothing. Only then will it stop.

I tried everything but stand on my head for help. Animals are a crop just like corn....if we stop eating corn then the farmers stop growing it. Sad thing is trying to get people to understand. I really didn't and to be honest Bentley my Wire Hair Fox Terrier came from Petland five years ago. I sentenced his mother to a life of misery. Anytime we walk into a pet store or buy a dog off of the net and you have not been to see it yourself you most likely are supporting a puppy mill. Thank you for caring!

Texas has 15 inspectors...some
days I put my head in the sand and then some days I feel so powerful...like the information about a Commercial Kennel going before the Federal Courts for Animal Cruelty. We just gotta keep on keeping on!

I live in WV about an hour from Amish country in Ohio, where they hold the largest dog auction in the country!!! PLEASE visit this web page to get info on how to help through legislation. Ohio has the 2nd most puppymills in the country and is considered first in horrifying conditions. There is a Puppy Mill Bill that could get passed in Ohio if enough people jump on the bandwagon. They are trying to get it passed before the House and Senate go on summer vacation 2008. PLEASE email this to anyone you can think of. We really could make a difference with this one!

Support your LOCAL breeders...even if they're more expensive you can see how the animals have been raised.
