Anti puppy mill protesters shot at Aquarium & Pet Center in Santa Monica

[XxBlackStar123]

@hollywoodjinky I think you guys should focus on things more important then dogs like HUMAN!!!!! the people in africa are suffering from aids and all you crazy people focus on other dumb things. Love animals all you want try to protect them but if you guys are making a group make it about something meaningful!

[600percentjesus]

What exactly is a 'legit' breeder? Anyone buying puppies from the store while others are dying at the pound should be locked in a cage for a weekend, see how they like it.

[comicalcupcake]

It's irresponsible and defamatory to leave this video up when you know the store has adopted a humane business model and the police never identified the shooter.

[samoyed81966]

I'm sick and tired of the owner of Aquarium & Pet Center in Santa Monica. It's very senseless to have someone who works in this pet store shooting off peaceful protesters with a BB gun. I don't care if the US is a free country. But having a pet store selling puppy mill dogs. That doesn't make you proud to be an American. So please adopt and don't buy. Carole Davis, please keep up the good work, and I hope you're doing okay.

[hollywoodjinky]

@samoyed81966 They have converted to a humane business model and we are very proud of them for making the change. Many dogs from the shelter have now been adopted there, dogs brought in by Animal Advocates Alliance. They should be congratulated now.

Wow, EndPuppyMillsNow1, hard to believe you are really in the Stop Puppy Mills movement. Something you should keep in mind, divided we fail. I have had the priviledge of protesting with this group on a recent visit to CA. They are wonderful and the leaders are inspirational. I think it's great that they are able to get a spotlight, it brings more attention to the cause.

[hollywoodjinky]

@seattlemarie Hi Marie!

[seattlemarie]

@hollywoodjinky Hi there! Bravo to you and your team for keeping the spotlight on puppy mill cruelty. The demonstration at Barkworks was amazing.  Watching all those red t-shirts, I tear up just thinking about it. I owe you a phone call

[hollywoodjinky]

Btw, have you all seen how the dogs are treated inside the store? The enclosures are horrific. The dogs look unhappy. Can you imagine how bad the mills they come from are? and Endpuppymillsnow, isn't it a good thing that this was on the news? So that people can understand what this is about?

[EndPuppyMillsNow1]

I agree...It is horrendous. It makes me absolutely ill...For the parents of the pup, for the puppy itself, & for the public that buys the pup only to bring it home in order to deal with it's emotional scars from living a life behind plexi glass, as well as it's physical problems from being bred by a money hungry monster. I agree the coverage of puppy mills on the news is very important...I also hope you don't loose your focus because from an outsider's view...it looks as though you are.

[EndPuppyMillsNow1]

I agree whole heartedly on closing down pet stores peddling puppy mill pups. This group is starting to look like a bunch of media hogs though...by putting themselves in the spotlight constantly, rather than the true focus...the dogs suffering in puppy mills. Sad. I wish them luck with their agenda and hope the media doesn't go to their heads and they are able to keep their focus where it should be...The dogs. Just my two cents worth....

[hollywoodjinky]

What a dimwit you are. don't you know that the producers cut these pieces and pick and choose the sound bytes they like? We always focus on the tlaking points. You don't understand much aobut how it works. Come out from under your rock. Who are you? This is of course about dogs, why do you think we come out every weekend and work to educate the public? What are YOU doing?

[EndPuppyMillsNow1]

The same thing you are. educating the public on the horrors of puppy mills. Aren't we testy....This is what it looks like from an outsiders point of view before you go off and chew someones head off for no reason. Your reply in itself is rather revealing. Calling people names and putting them down is very mature of you. It makes you look like a crazy animal rights activist rather than helping your cause. I would take a look at how I present myself to the public in ALL arenas, including UTube.

[hollywoodjinky]

I think your first comment was dumb and this one is even dumber.

Didn't you call people, decent people who come out every week "media hogs" and "crazy" and alluding in a sarcastic manner that I am immature? And how exactly am I not helping the cause of dogs in puppy mills? Be specific.

Come out, who are you? My name is Carole Davis what's yours? If you're going to attempt to be critical, be smart critical, not borderline down syndrome critical.

[EndPuppyMillsNow1]

If you took the time to actually read my reply b4 spazing into a knee jerk reaction, you would have seen that I said "it makes you LOOK crazy" (not that you are) to start shooting off at the mouth and belittling people which only alienates others from you and your cause rather than to help promote it. How are you helping your cause by telling someone you don't even know that they are dumb and have borderline down syndrom? It doesn't make me want to listen to ANYTHING you say. Not very productive

[hollywoodjinky]

Why would anybody listen to someone anonymous?  Answer some questions. What exactly are you doing and where, so we can see how effective you are?

[EndPuppyMillsNow1]

I have nothing to prove. I do what I do because I love animals and care about their welfare. This isn't about ME and what I am accomplishing compared to YOU and what you are accomplishing. You are making yourselves look self serving more and more by the minute. Don't burry yourselves. You should welcome others that care about the cause instead of saying mindless things like that! Unreal! Don't listen to someone who is anonymous then, you obviously have lots to prove about how great you are.

[hollywoodjinky]

ok, you won't give us your name, then will you please tell us what grade you're in?

And how, specifically are we "self-serving?" If you're going to criticize, don't be a coward. Come out and say who you are.

[EndPuppyMillsNow1]

So far, all of your negative name calling, be-littling, self rightious comments have landed you in a file right next to PETA's. It is pretty much a waste of my time to sit and listen to your comments. We are obviously on completely different roads to accomplishing the same means to the end. good luck with your efforts, you're going to need them with tactics like that.

[hollywoodjinky]

oh now i'm a Peta person because I've asked you to come out and say who you are? Why do you hide?

[binkelsteinlouie]

Hey End Puppy Mills if you want to end Puppy Mills the way you claim then why aren't you with us every weekend, where are YOU? What store are you protesting this weekend, the wonderful nice people that come out and give up their Saturdays care about the dogs & cats suffering in mills and you have a lot of nerve calling them media hogs, the media is the one that gets it OUT THERE you idiot. How else is the public going to know?

[EndPuppyMillsNow1]

Well, that would be because I am on another side of the US. And I am out there every weekend doing the same thing you are, only I don't call people names and belittle them because If I'm dismissed that way, the message is lost to those people who have pigeoned-holed the cause. It is destructive and does not help the cause in the long run. You can't alienate those you want to influence. You sound like a bunch of REALLY CARING INDIVIDUALS.

[PuppyLuv10001]

I hate puppy mills and want 2 c them all end. I bought a puupy from a pet store b 4 I knew about them and learned the hard way. I think itz cool you guys protest stores but I have to agree w End Puppy Millz...You guys sound kinda mean and harsh! I hope we don't cross paths in an alley!!!!

[binkelsteinlouie]

Actually you will never meet a nicer group of people, we are all friends, go to fundraisers together, coffee after protesting and we are constantly talking to each other. We have all become good friend & network homeless animals & foster. So yes you can cross paths in an alley with us as long as you pet is FIXED.

[PuppyLuv10001]

Now your gonna yell at me? You really don't act very nice. AND MY PETS ARE FIXED BUT I DON'T NEED YOU CRAZIES TELLING ME.

[CharmingFilms]

Aquarium and Pet Center's days are numbered.

[buddhadogmassage]

I don't think these morally bankrupt criminals know who they're dealing with!

[colinvincent]

I hope the catch the person responsible, keep up the fight!

[baldwinparkdogs]

COME JOIN OUR PROTEST! this store sells puppies from big in humane breeding facilities!

[PierresMommy]

No legit breeder would have their pups in a pet store!

[catherinew5690]

uh one protesting and one "selling" - im glad they put the footage of their store on the news, i hope everyone sees it and is saddened and disgusted

[hollywoodjinky]

The owner of the store is sellig dogs from mills in the Midwest as well as right here in S. CA. Boycott this store and come out and join us. Don't let them get away with violence and intimidation. We will not go away, we will maintain our peaceful composure and our dignity in the face of these thugs.

[binkelsteinlouie]

Everyone join us this Saturday to protest this store, the owner lies, he uses puppy mills. We are not going to stand for violence when all we are trying to do is put an end to puppy mills and stand up for the voiceless. If you hate puppy mills and sick of 5 million companion animals being killed every year, join us.
