If I was in USA I would adopt at least 3 of those unfortunate yorkie puppies.

We must start a world campaign against puppy mills!

Laws that are in place :-(

I have said it before, if we don't change the laws then this will continue.

Its so sad that this still goes on. Its outrageous that he is going to be allowed to keep 200 dogs! The public still needs to be educated about these places and they need to be loud and vocal that this kind of situation is not acceptable.

If the members who live in this area could post the email contacts to the local officials, we could bury them with emails in protest. Letters to the editor to the local newspapers would make an impact too.

The one thing that gets politicians paying attention to issues is when there is negative coverage in the media. (Negative coverage hurts the politician and could threaten their re-election.)

I'm Canadian so I'm not 100% knowledgeable about U.S. government, but somebody should find out who the politician in charge of these laws is - then show him the media coverage about this. First, see if you can get him on board helping to change these laws. If he doesn't agree to work on changing the laws, take this story to the media for more coverage.

This requires a bit of work - but can lead to helping to make big changes in the government.

Very good idea, I would certainly be willing to write a letter..email..or whatever it takes to start the ball rolling to get the laws changed regarding this type of thing. I also think that this Horton person should be held accountable for the vet care that these hundreds of dogs are incurring. Maybe they could bury him in bills so he wouldn't be able to continue his operation.

he doesn't deserve to have 200 dogs..
