| Puppy Mill Story http://www.puppymillrescue.com/thestench/wwauction.pdf This is a very sad, but I think a very important story. It might not be all about Yorkies, but it happens to them too, and I thought I should share what I found with all of you Yorkie lovers. It's a horrible thing that's going on, and I just wanted to let all of you know that this is really happening out there. P.S. It might be long, but if you read it let me know what you think

After I got done feeling SICK reading this -I copied parts of this article articles to drill the importance of stopping the Sale of Live Animals in Pet Stores...For those who don't read the article - at least read these parts - it will truly sicken you. Kind but misguided people want to purchase the puppy from the pet store to “rescue” it. More experienced people beg that no one buy the puppy, as each sale only serves to make pet stores order more Whippets. The real rescuers know that the breeding stock that produce pet store puppies live in unspeakably horrid conditions, and every pet store puppy sale condemns more breeding stock to that fate. For those who DON'T read this article - THIS is by the author The stench. She couldn’t believe the stench. Nothing in her life had prepared her for this. Not the worst run city shelters. Not the filthiest kennels. Nothing. The smell of stale urine and fresh feces could not begin to compare with what she now faced. Her eyes smarted. Her nose burned. Her brain tried to process the odor of death; of dying flesh and dying souls. The stink of human greed and cruelty permeated the darkest corners of that room. Every pore of her body was soaking up all of that stench. She had to go outside. None of the animals in the room had food or water. There were multiple dogs in each cage. Only a few had room to stand in their cage; the rest were crammed in crouched positions. There were around two hundred and fifty dogs in that room. They had kennel cough, were underweight and malnourished, and had varying degrees of deformities in their feet and legs from living on wire cage floors and having been deprived of any exercise. Eyes pleading for release, death, anything. Feet horribly deformed from life on wire grid cage bottoms. Quiet whimpers. Urine and feces from dogs in the upper crates dripping on the dogs below. Occasionally a growl. That inescapable smell.) This was a truly accurate first hand account of a HORRIBLE DOG AUCTION and everyone should read it. Then you WILL cry | |

| The people that do this to these poor animals should have to endure the same kind of suffering. Then maybe it would all end. The punishment should fit the crime. I cried all the way through this article. It is so heartbreaking.
