Why is there NO name and further identification of this puppy mill owner? Who purchased the dogs from this place?
I want their names. Show their pics and ID them so the rest of us can see what creature does this for the mighty buck in a country with opportunities to earn wages with dignity and honor. And let us see them prosecuted....and hard punishments. If not, stop telling us about it. In San Diego CA, we have a puppy mill problem equally as big as our illegal alien problem. You might say they go hand in hand. Whatever is the flavor of the year. They are not seeked out or brought up in our newspaper as it isn't politically correct. Even the rescue groups are politically correct in their silence and avoidance of the true source of this horrid way of making some bucks.

The newspaper article states:

The dogs were taken from Pine Bluff Kennels on Ed Lyell Road in Hickman County

The District Attorney and Hickman Co. Sheriff's office were involved in the raid, so presumably there will be a criminal investigation.

Any time you buy a dog you're killing another one. Doesn't really matter if it's from bastards like these or "respectable" breeders. There are only so many homes for dogs and choosing to have a new dog created on your behalf means that a "used" dog in a shelter is going die.

Mutts are better dogs anyway, but if you want pure-bred neurosis there are breed rescue organizations for every kind of dog I've ever heard of.

This woman was busted before in 1998. Due to the courts finding that an illegal search and siezure took place all charges were dismissed. In 1998 she had around 300 dogs and was back to selling puppies on the internet by 1999. She's had 10 YEARS to build up her breeding stock numbers and this time she had around 700 dogs. My biggest question is why did it take 10 years to do something about this? This is what you're getting when you buy a puppy and meet someone in the local Walmart parking lot to pick it up or buy over the internet. You don't really think this woman was stupid enough to let people come to her "kennel" do you?

Re. the previous comment:

According to the Sun-Sentinel, Broward Humane Society (Ft Lauderdale, FL area) has accepted 130 of these dogs to care for and put up for adoption.

Spokeswoman Cherie Wachter said that at 10:30 a.m., there were easily 300 people waiting outside in the heat. And they could be out there a while.
