| Puppy Farm Shut Down... This was on the news here in Oklahoma this morning, there were no yorkies involved, but the news makes me sad. I am so glad these people were caught and shut down..... Pair arrested over dead, starving dogs Associated Press - November 6, 2008 12:55 AM ET JAY, Okla. (AP) - Delaware County officials arrested two people today in connection with the discovery of dead and starving dogs at a farm east of Jay. Deputy Mark Berry says Sue Davis and Randall Dick were taken to the Delaware County Jail. The pair are accused of neglecting 98 dogs, including cocker spaniels and poodles. After receiving an anonymous tip, Berry said he drove to Davis' dog-breeding operation and found 10 dead dogs and numerous starving animals. Some of the dogs were eating the carcasses of others. Davis reportedly signed over custody of the dogs to the Grove Humane Society, which placed them with a private animal welfare organization based in Denver. U.S. Department of Agriculture records don't show Davis as having a license. The USDA regulates wholesale breeding and kennel operations, but not retail operations like the one Davis appears to have been running. Information from: Tulsa World, http://www.tulsaworld.com

| Oh my goodness! 10 dead dogs and dogs starving? Why in the world would anyone have 98 dogs and not feed them? Or 1 dog for that matter? What is the purpose of having them, if you are going to kill them. These people obviously have mental problems or are just plain mean. So glad they were shut down.
