I'm speechless and just heartbroken that this is going on. Those poor, poor,,, helpless fur babies.
Those horrible people need to be locked up and forgotten about for a good long time.
How can we help stop this????????

did anyone see part 2 of this story tonight? i can't believe the puppy/dog auctions they were at.. that was sad.. selling a deaf and blind dog because it can still breed?! and the fact that usda licensing went up 300% in this area is crazy!!! hopefully this will open the eyes of the public before they go to these pet stores to buy "christmas presents"..

Problem is, it should be put on nationally..so all can see this, and they need to do it often,,,it so makes me mad they can get away with such horrific dog abuse, and the big guy in the pet store should be shot.....

I thought they said the auction was in Ohio? Was it in Indiana too? I would like to go and see these "breeders" in davies co. myself...

Thank you for posting this - to watch all 3 parts is amazing -- I thought I knew a lot about the puppymill process -- but I learned something from these reports -- everyone in the world should know this.

I guess this is where my chloe came from....

I got her from the petstore and the broker was Hunte. This makes me furious

poor dogs....

dollylou · 12-09-2007, 11:47 AM

the store you're talking about is about 10 miles from me. we had a neighbor that bought a puppy and it had kennel cough.it cost them more to cure it then they gave for it. they also had parvo. i was in there once but i went right back out.the human society shut them down.

dollylou · 12-09-2007, 12:05 PM

the pet store i'm talking about is in bedford,indiana .it was in the Walmart mall area.

bullydad · 01-05-2008, 07:13 PM

How can I get it? Can I contact the tv station and get a copy of the shows? Will it be on in my state. I want it to educate people. We have been working on our own web site to help raise funds for Rescues---but it's at a stand still. The star(our) FERGIE of the site is have hip problems and we have to take her to the vet on Monday---2 hours away. This doctor is a breed doctor. We hope to get more answers to help Fergie?? We will be back somehow to help the dogs?? Check out the site-- please... don't forward any funds at this time. www.fergielickious.com Just for fun. I hope the board does not mind us posting this one time. We care about the dogs that get mistreated. If your going to breed --you should Rescue.

I think My Fergie came from a bad place??? not sure?

bullydad · 01-05-2008, 07:16 PM

Making are site and project to help all breeds and it will be legal once done.
It takes time.... We own yorkies and chihuahuas to...

Just wanted to let everyone know about this report so those interested can see it.

OMG i just seen this post this is where i live. Do you know that my sister in law actually walked into that pet store and the moment she walked in she smelled parvo and told them about it when they ignored her she got louder and told them these puppies have parvo you better shut down and get them help and they ask her to leave it wasn't even a week later they got shut down!!!!!!
