HBO exposing Puppy Mills... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

okay.. I went to the link and it looks like that doc on HBO isn't about puppymills. It is about research lab people who get dogs from shelters and instead of obeying the law and doing humane tests, they aren't being humane. I think it is good that this documentary is covering animal testing, but I would rather see one about puppymills.
Am I missing something?

Well you are correct and that is my error.

I personally look at them as one and the same. The person running this 'dog farm' is also linked with people who DO run puppy mills. The treatment the dogs get at this 'medical testing farm' is the same treatment pups get at puppymills.

Really, I don't care if it is a puppymill or a medical facility. Dogs are being MISTREATED!

All of it is wrong and if people are exposed by watching this special to the type of treatment that happens to these dogs, note these 'medical farms' and 'puppy mills' share similar legal restraints that are obviously not being followed, hopefully they will make a move to their local legistlation to have stricter laws inforced and to finally have them shut down. As we talk about this, people are in D.C. trying to shut down this type of 'medical' facility. If they and us can do that, it will make it so much easier to shut down the mills too!

Hope this clarified it for you...

They need to air this on a local station such as ABC, NBC or CBS. There are thousands of people who don't have HBO (myself included). They could touch so many people if it was local station.
