Dog Auction Mar. 6 with 3 GSD's in it....help!!! - Page 2

Oh my God 262 Poor dogs these people should go to jail just for having this many dogs and followed by the Vet who wrote the Statement, he needs to be shut down .
This is really sad.

I live in Missouri also and I can say it goes on all the time-- We have a client that breeds English bulldogs that goes to them all the time.-- I think it is sick, the buyer  think it is great becasue the dogs are cheap and they can still make money off of them.

I am not saying its right or wrong,but saying just because YOU think they have to many dogs they should go to jail?  WTH?? I have 50 chickens,if you think that is to many should I go to jail,,if a farmer has 262 cattle,is that "to many" for you so the farmer should go to jail..I personally think more then one child is to many,so should all people be spayed/neutered?..really most people should be but thats a whole different topic..as long as the dogs are in good health and have shelter,food,water,and medical care when needed,I would say THAT is what the vet statement is about,not about personal feelings,

Awwww. Moons. You have to go get that dog off the porch.
I can't even comment on the touch-less puppy mill.

I'd love to Shelley,
I think he has some of my old male in him but that's only a thought.

I would if I could but I can't.

At least they are trying to find him a home and are advertising him instead of sending him to a shelter or just dumping him.
He has a kennel and spends time on that cable, I haven't gone to see him yet but had planned on trying to make the trip.

He's as worthy as any of them in my book.

Moons.

 syring, 

please read the following and then reconsider your comments above:

6 INCHES. 

Remember that number.

Here is the USDA formula for calculating the amount of space it considers adequate for a dog:

"Each dog housed in a primary enclosure (including weaned puppies) must be provided with a minimum amount of floor space, calculated as follows: Find the mathematical square of the sum of the length of the dog in inches (measured from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail) plus 6 inches; then divide the product by 144. The calculation is: (length of dog in inches + 6) x (length of dog in inches + 6) = required floor space in square inches. Required floor space in inches/144 = required floor space in square feet."

The USDA measures the amount of space a dog is allowed to have for his or her entire life in INCHES. 6 INCHES, to be exact. What the formula above means is, if you are in a dog (Chihuahua or Great Dane--doesn't matter) in a square cage and you put your rear end against the side of the cage, you can look forward to 6 WHOLE INCHES of exercise space in front of you. Run. Play. Have a good time.

You can find that regulation--3.6 (c)(1)(i)--and others supposedly enforced by USDA inspectors at

[Inventory--191 dogs one year, 196 the next] 

"THE ATTENDING VETERINARIAN HAS NOT BEEN TO THE FACILITY IN OVER A YEAR. THIS IS A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT." 

"The third pen from the top SW side of the small dog building has rusted broken wires that can easily injure the dog contained in that cage." 

"There is evidence of rodent infestation and odors of rodents in the buildings. There are holes chewed in walls, fecal matter, and odors. There needs to be a better rodent control program put in place. This is necessary for rodent control and disease prevention. This affects 191 animals." 

"There is an accumulation of hair on the outside of the pens and inside in the whelping buildings and the westernmost housing the huskies. The interior of the buildings have an accumulation of hair and waste inside and there is a buildup of oils and dirt on the walls. These areas must be cleaned daily and all waste/hair on the ground around the buildings removed...This affects 196 animals." 

"THERE ARE 8 DOGS IN 2 SHELTERS WITH NO BEDDING. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS APP 42 DEGREES AND HAS BEEN WELL BELOW FREEZING IN THE PAST FEW DAYS. The owner must provide suitable bedding for the animals." 

WELL ATLEAST THEY ARE TRING TO DO THE RIGHT THING...

Well if the wrong thing wasn't done in the first place then there wouldn't be any problems. Things like this are why I hate people more and more everyday.The idiocracy is abunden and animals are the ones to suffer!!

WOW!!!!

This is pitiful.  I was once in the horse business and went to many dispersal sales as well as participated in several cattle dispersals.  BUT for some reason this does not set well with me.

If there is an upside maybe the dogs will be placed in better homes or facilities BUT my gut says not. 

These will go from one puppy mill to another - sickening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be interesting to see what happens.
