Being a hunter has nothing to do with it. My Hubby is also a hunter. and let me tell you he loves our dogs. Shooting a dog and shooting for food is two different things.

Im glad you put these all together, Thanks V
This is so sad, Im so glad fox news and Yt is helping to show others what mills are all about.

Ok, so the next newscast I want to see is Moore charged with animal cruelty for shooting all those puppies and then dumping them in a hole. :mad:

Chances are nothing will happen :( but at least these news broadcasts get the word out about buying puppies online. The links in the first post were moved - here are the new links

PART ONE - They talk to a broker who sold dogs for Brushy Creek

PART TWO - Interview with David Moore

PART THREE - This one is powerful

INSIDE EDITION- Interview with a family that bought TWO sick dogs - also Inside Edition went undercover and purchased a puppy over the Internet from Brushy Creek.

I hope they lock him up, and throw away the key. What a terrible man.

David Moore is such a SICKO!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: Shooting puppies because they didn't sell or won't breed....so freaking disgusting! Makes me want to throw up! Someone needs to shoot HIM! :mad:

:thumbup: :thumbup:
I just looked at the stories again. I absolutely feel physically ill and so frustrated I can hardly stand it. I responded to FOX26 about the series and commended David and Randy for the stories. I also mentioned that in addition to local affiliates, how wonderful for public awareness it would be if this series or something similar could air nationally. There are so many who don't have a clue what a puppymill is!!

Those who haven't thanked FOX26 for their hard work on this, it would really be great if you did. ;)

Houston Animal Control and more Brushy Creek
 

Hello all,
I just wanted pass along a few notes and updates on our investigative stories into Brushy Creek Kennel and more. You can still view all the stories at the links posted by V at the top of this thread. While you're at it, here's another story from Randy Wallace that aired last night (Monday) that I think everyone might be interested in. Even if you're not from the Houston area, it could prompt you to find out more about the policies of your local animal control bureau:

As far as Brushy Creek Kennel goes, we are not done with our investigation. Like the first two stories we aired, our third part prompted an avalanche of emails. Many with new stories to tell about this kennel. We have way too many sources on this story to end it now. As I have mentioned before, in over 7 years at Fox, I have never seen so many people come forward to contribute to a story. More to come!

As far as our most recent stories on Brushy Creek, I cannot tell you how fortunate we were in being allowed to produce such an in-depth and comprehensive report. I invite everyone to check their wristwatch while watching the local news. You will see every single story lasts between 15 seconds and 2 minutes. Most in-depth stories last between 90 seconds and 120 seconds. Once in a blue moon with an extremely interesting story and a overly-generous news director, you will see a 5 minute story. Anything longer usually involves a declaration of war. Even the overblown Anna Nicole Smith stories topped out at 2 minutes. Our 2 parts on Brushy Creek Kennel last week totalled 8 minutes. I can work here another 50 years and not get that kind of time for a story again- especially during the sweeps ratings period. That is the main reason I asked all of you to voice your opinions to our website email. I wanted to make sure our managers knew that, in the opinion of viewers, it was not a mistake to allot so much time to one story. I can tell you the input was heard and everyone was very pleased with the end product. That is why we are being encouraged to stay on this.

Some of you thought we weren't hard enough on Mr. Moore. A few of you thought we were too hard on him. We know we've done a good job in being fair when we hear from both extremes. When we interviewed people about their dealings with Brushy Creek, I thought we would have time to air more of their comments. Two things changed that. Our attorneys were very careful not to air anything that couldn't be documented or confirmed by multiple sources. So some fascinating comments just could not be aired. Also, judging from past rejections, we didn't feel that Mr. Moore would comment for our story. After giving him one more chance by showing up at his property, he made a wise decision and changed his mind and spoke with us on camera. This certainly made him look better than not talking and allowing for 8 minutes of complaints about him to run in our report. By giving him a fair shot and allowing him time to tell his side of the story, we had to cut out many of the comments from others. Again, if you want to put a wristwatch to our report, you will see he was allowed to speak much more than anyone else. In fact, in part 2 of our series, he spoke on 7 occasions. No one else spoke more than 2 times-most of them once.

Did we bend over backwards in our efforts to be fair? No. We bent over backwards, did five cartwheels, 2 back flips, a somersault and a handstand. No one has ever received such an opportunity to state his case in an investigative story. This was unprecedented. But considering the nature of the accusations, we felt it was fair.

Again, I can't thank everyone at YT enough. You made this story possible. Many of you, especially Villette, provided valuable information that was essential to our efforts. As I said, we are not done. I will post again when updates are warranted.

David

I think you guys did an EXCELLENT job!!! :bravo: I couldn't have been more pleased! I will be watching and waiting for future updates! :thumbup:

David, thank you for keeping us in the loop! You're doing an awesome job!! Thank you!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I just watched that video and I cried my eyes out. I would have been devestated!! That poor woman! :( My heart goes out to her.

I'm sorry but putting down the dog or any dog
 

without checking for tags or mircochip? come on people in this day and age Walmart sells answering machines for $25.00 tops and most mircochip companies will send a read if they apply for one for free. there's no excuse. none. and the poor dog still had her tags and collar on. Come on.



I hope someone fries for this. TyTy

That animal control should pay for that lady a new puppy. That dog should have never been put down

V,
Thans for that post. That was heart breaking to watch. Although I don't feel that it's fair to lump all breeders that sell over the internet into the same category. The last report indicated that one should never buy puppies over the internet. People can be scammed by local breeders also. Local breeders can be just as dishonest, and even more deceptive.

It's extremely important to investigate the reputation of the breeder whether it's a local breeder, or one who ships.

Davie - thank you so much. :) :) :)

You all did the work and while the BCK Story has special meaning to me - watching your reports makes me realize how much time and energy you invested into providing a story that was fair and informative :thumbup: not to mention, all the people AND dogs across the country who benefit from this kind of thing being talked about ....so way to go FOX News !!

that Video you just posted is shocking. I saw it on Fox already but watched it again....For a dog to escape thru a fence WITH Tags and be put to death like that shows there is a really big problem and if it happened to that dog - chances are it's happened before. :( Hopefully your newscast brings on major changes in that facility.

you at Fox are doing such a great job with these stories - you made a lifetime fan in me and thank you for all you\'ve done.
