Another Batch Of Puppies Already

Bookmark and Share

Another batch of puppies are on the way. The backyard breeder I talk about here is having another batch and the puppies from the last batch are only months old. This will not stop. No one believes she is doing any wrong. With the new puppies on the way, she is looking for owners to take the puppies. She is out of work and needs the money.

Is this the reason to put this poor mother dog through all these births? The puppies are bull-legged and some have respiratory problems. The puppies are sold to any one that has the money. I know what has happened to one, I rescued him from filth, one was bought at four weeks old, I saw one in the paper, and she looked very healthy and happy. Where all the other puppies are is not known.

This is the worst form of animal abuse. This poor female is nothing but a moneymaker. Her 11-year-old Maltese can no longer make money so she just hangs around the house. The male Pekingese is happy impregnating the female Shiz-Tzu. These puppies are making her $350 a puppy. The litter is usually six puppies. Is this healthy for the mother? NO. It is not right, but no one can stop her.

Breeding Dogs Without Regard To Health

Bookmark and Share

Backyard breeders are popping up everywhere, but when it happens in your neighborhood, you might not know anything about it until it is too late. What do you do about a backyard puppy mill that continues to breed a male and a female even though the male is deformed he is bowlegged. The female is bred every time she is in heat. The female is suffering and the owner is raking in the cash because no one knows about the puppy mill aspect of this owner.

Some of the litters have had puppies with asthmas and puppies with bowlegs, but she continues to breed. This is because people are paying the money for the puppies, which is outrageous to begin with and they never know how many litters were already produced or what the health of the puppies were. This is not only sad, but it should be a crime. Yes, these puppies find homes, but at what expense. Do the new owners keep them or are they passed off when new owners find out there are health issues they were unaware of at the time.

The newest form of cruelty is telling perspective owners to come and pick up the puppies at two and a half weeks old because the vet said it was okay if they are weaned. The person had lost their job and needed money. The people were instructed to come get the puppies now and pay for them. These people are paying over $300 for a Shih-Tzu/Pekingese with no health checks even though they think the puppies are check they are not.

It is doubtful that these puppies even have healthy parent, since the parent may not even have current vaccinations. The inside condition of the house is deplorable. There is dog feces and pee everywhere. Not only are the dogs living in this, but humans as well. The neighbors probably have no idea what is going on inside the house as well as the property owner.

Why is it that people take another life with such little regard? Is money really worth what expense it will cause the female and the puppies? For some people I guest life has no value, but for me, any breathing creature has a right to live a happy and healthy life. Is something going to be done about this proclaimed backyard breeder? Yes, something will be done to cease this practice, it might not be against the law, but it against humane treatment.

Abandoned Puppies On The Side Of The Highway

Bookmark and Share

A while back, there was an article about six adorable little puppies being found on the side of a highway in a garbage bag. A motorist had stopped to stretch and was standing by his car when he heard yelping and crying coming from the bag. He quickly called police and went to explore. The bag was tied shut, cruel, but thank God, or these puppies would have been killed on the highway. He quickly took the bag back to his car and opened the bag to find six hungry puppies barely moving.

The officer arrived and called a rescue group who responded within an hour to take the puppies and care for them. The puppies all lived and were adopted into good homes. The man on the side of the road was the first one to adopt one of the little ones. These puppies were five weeks old, had never asked to be born, and could not have possibly hurt anyone. Why would someone do something so cruel? Today, you can take unwanted puppies, dogs, cats or any animal to a rescue or Humane Society, therefore, there was no reason for these puppies to be abandoned.

The problem I see is that no one was ever found and made to pay for this cruel and inhumane treatment of these innocent puppies. Why can’t the crime lab do what they do in a murder or other criminal act? Check the bag for fingerprints and ask post advertisements for information from the public. These are living and breathing puppies, therefore, they disserve the same rights as a human. What was done to punish the offenders?

There was absolutely nothing done because no one took the time to do lab tests to find the offender. If it would have been a person, you had better believe someone would have gone to the ends of the earth to find the criminal. There has to be a solution and a law to prevent this type of cruelty. More people need to stand up and fight for stiffer punishments and not just a fine. This was a deliberate act of “endangering the life of another”. How many years in prison is that worth if it was a human? These poor animals need our help.

I for one would support any law that would demand jail or prison time for any offenders. This is an ongoing problem and people need to held responsible. Don’t you agree?
