As if we needed another reason to avoid pet shops

Another tragic reminder that pet shops are not a good place to obtain your pup. This story brought tears to my eyes.

The Hunte Corporation gets its dogs from "puppy mills" and then ships them to pet stores. They are brokers and their commodity is puppies. :twisted:

See Puppy Mills Breed Misery.

Moving to the breeding forum though not sure where it really belongs. Maybe a seperate forum called SCUM

Here is the part that really took the cake for me: ``The cages are beautiful. They're ventilated and clean -- it's like a puppy hotel." Then later in the article, it states they had violations for dirty water and waste. Some puppy hotel :twisted: :twisted:

I hate to say it, but maybe in some way the puppies are in a better place now. I cannot imagine how someone can be so cruel to an innocent animal. I agree with you Barbara, these people are:

SCUM!!!!!!
