puppy mill State in th US (second place has less than a third as many as MO)
when you go to a puppy mill auction it is a horrible site. The people there are
all inhumane they only see money when they look at the dogs they auction off.
The Senators Councilmen and Representatives all rubbing elbows with the Millers,
the USDA inspectors and the AKC representatives laughing and shaking hands with
the Millers. It is sad to see. Then you have these scared dogs on a stage
in front of hundreds of people as the bidding begins, some are in labor as they
are being auctioned. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">Yes when rescue takes dogs
from auctions the money goes to the puppy Millers. What do the Millers then do
when they sell all of their stock? They go to a puppy mill auction and buy more
dogs and start breeding under a new name more times than not. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">And the puppies the Millers
supply to pet stores, if they do not get bought, what happens to them does
anyone know??? Are they are euthanized???? I once rescued a Basset from a pet
store they were getting ready to euthanize because he had been there too
long. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">One pet store owner in a
small town near here had a bucket full of water in the back and once a puppy
reached four months she cut her losses and drowned them, the store closed down
after people found out. Ever since I heard that I can hardly look in the window
of a pet store for fear I will want to take them all home with me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">Like Cathy said things will
never change until dogs become more than property. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
