Virginia authorities responded to the Humane Socirty of the United States undercover investigation this week. With help from HSUS, dozens of shelters and Virginia authorities all helped close down just one of the puppy mills in Virginia.
All the data is still coming in but according to HSUS website 45 adult dogs and 65 puppies were taken from one breeder in two separate visits. Unfortunately the number of rescued dogs has swelled in the past several days as dozens of the adult females were pregnant at the time of rescue.
The majority of dogs were small breeds. These dogs would have been sold in clasified ads and pet stores across the East Coast. In the end the only thing that will truly end puppy mills is for the money trail to run out. By not ever buying a puppy from a pet store or from back yard breeders we will cut off the income supply for these breeders. It is the consumer who has the ultimate power.
LET'S USE IT!!!!
Please visit the HSUS website and learn more about puppy mills.
Love for all creatures
