| That just makes my heart break - I just can not comprehend that there are such evil people in the world - who could do such a thing to a defenceless animal?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Nancy...wow...this will need to be a sticky somewhere, don't you think? Let me know where you think it should be. I hope you are feeling okay after making this video, it must have been very difficult to put together - but the positive ripple effect it will have on humans and animals will hopefully buffer some of the after effects from putting it together. You have done something amazing here, and it's indelible. Thank you.

I know that it was a few months of being a member that I discovered stickies. Being this carries such an important message, how could we make this stand out?

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Nancy, thank you so much for this! As heartbreaking as it was to watch, I'm glad I did - makes my resolve to help even stronger! I did share this on my FB page and will continue to find other Stop Puppymill information to share there.

VIP Links I wish I had more hits on it - the stats are very low on that page - Prisoners of Greed is one of the very first mill pages I visited way back in the day which prompted me to research all I could EDITED TO ADD - if you guys would like me to add your links (rescue) I'll be more than happy to post them on my site | |

| Thank you for posting this. It's so sad and heartbreaking! As long as I live I will never understand how people can live with themselves treating animals this way. I just don't get it. Laws need to be changed, this needs to be stopped. People need to stop buying from puppymills, byb, etc...

| This video was so hard to watch. Those poor dogs. What a horrible way for them to live.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Great point, too many people think that if it's an AKC dog, they are safe. The AKC has dropped many puppy mill kennels, and some of them are going to alternative registries that don't require any inspections, but the AKC still has plenty of puppy mill breeders. Unfortunately, the AKC cannot require higher standards than what state/federal law requires. We must remember that the AKC is primary a registry, and addresses bloodlines not kennel conditions, as long as they are within federal and state laws. I encourage everyone who supports an AKC breeder to register their dog with the AKC. Pet owners, not just breeders, should register, when more pet owners than breeders are registering their dogs, pet owners will have a much bigger say in AKC policy.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Funny how so many of us have created a chain, red98vette knowledge on puppy mills first informed me of the horrors going on. For some reason, because of all the "busts" I thought the situation was well under control. A member posted a link the other day with a site that showed these pictures: DSCF1824_800x600.jpg How cute is that? DSCF9735_800x600.jpg What a sweet nursery! However, Ladymom, noticed that the breeders were listed on the Prisoners of Greed website, and Reese1 noticed that the breeder in question had the same last nane and lived on the same street as the kennel listed by the Best Friends Network, who had posted a video of that mill. Image1.jpg Not quite as "cute." So we are picturing one thing in our heads, when an entirely different thing is going on in reality. The breeders, in this case, may even take perspective buyers on a "tour". I'm pretty sure they won't see the actual kennel, it's a few houses down. As Reese1 pointed out, we can't be sure these people are in business together, but they do share a same last name, and live on the same street. All of you, who are posting on FB are keeping that chain going on! By the way, A special thanks to Brister, who reminded me how awesome Michael Jackson's music is!

But, that is not the point. What is being addressed is that if pet owners do register their, pet owners numbers would grow, therefore having an ability to have a voice in the direction AKC takes. While AKC is not perfect, it is still the most desirable in upholding the purebred dog. Where others such APRI, UKC, CKC requirements have no where near the standards.
