Alabama puppy mill ELKMONT, Alabama - Limestone County authorities say an Elkmont woman is accused of operating a puppy mill and keeping dead dogs in her freezer. Sheriff's Department investigator Eric King says 63-year-old Nannie Johnson was charged with 43 counts of cruelty to animals after 43 dogs were found dead at her home on Friday. King says one dead dog was dead in a kennel and the remainder were wrapped in plastic and stored in Johnson's freezer. Officials say 28 dogs were found alive, but two have since died. Athens veterinarian Robert Pitman says the surviving dogs are emaciated. Johnson was being held at the Limestone County jail in lieu of $32,250 bond. (Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press.

its horrible its horrible just go to yahoo.com type in alabama puppymills and see all the raid's and shut downs ! its more then horrible, its all about the dollar... |
thats so sad=[ i can't believe people now adays. those poor babies. |
Sometimes (like in the frozen North) people will freeze dead animals until such time as the ground is soft enough to bury them. But Alabama doesn't get that cold .... I certainly hope she wasn't "recycling" them for more food :eek: ... I must say, I was really living in a little pink cloud concerning puppy mills until I came here. I knew they were bad, of course, but I didn't know HOW bad. I love my animals so much I just can't fathom how anyone could mistreat them that way. Pound for pound, my beasties eat better than WE do, and they're spoiled beyond words. I've had dogs all my life (and that's a BUNCHA years), and not a one of them has been an "animal": they've all been cherished family members (even when it wasn't cool ;)) |
I have a rescue from a puppymill bust in Alabama (Lane). It really breaks your heart. :( Let's hope this is one more stopped for good. |
