like2bonree: that adoption fee that you say "animal rights groups" (I guess you mean rescue groups) charge is quite a bit less than what a breeder would charge and a small fraction of that a pet store charges. But all that aside, the most puzzling and disturbing aspect of your comment is, that after viewing this video, the only fault you can find is with animal RESCUERS.

simple. It's legal. The majority of the American people buy dogs. Think! Which came first, people trying to sell dogs or people buying dogs? An interesting dilemma for the animal special interests groups that are against this is that they CANNOT stop millions of people from buying dogs, so they go after those who sell them. The dilemma? Less dogs on the market doesn't reduce demand, it simply drives prices higher for available dogs. There is NO stopping it, ever!

How horrible. How can this country allow that?

[ilovepittybulls]

@black429 organizations like best friends, and hsus, etc along with other rescue groups are trying very hard to shed light on this situation, to get it to stop. you can help by donating time, resources, supplies, or money!!! such an important cause, im a HUGE fan of best friends puppy mill , puppies arent products campaign. u should go on their website to find out what u can do! because one day, someone is gonna put a stop this disgusting problem!

puppies ARE products. Even animal rights groups won't "give" you one. You have to purchase it under the guise of a "donation" and to pay for spay/neuters,etc that were often already done when they acquired the dog. Even family homeowners who just have a litter or two every once in a while don't usually "give away" a puppy. They usually SELL them, more proof that puppies are products.

I know quite a few rescue groups and never heard of one that profits. They are basically trying to save as many animals as they can of the 6 to 8 million that are killed each year in the U.S. They charge an adoption fee so that they can afford to keep rescuing more. Most dogs are not adopted right away and it's hard to find fosters, so they often have to board them, plus pay for food, veterinary expenses, etc. until they find homes.

There are many sickos that abuse animals or sell them to labs; that's the other reason why rescues won't give pets away for free.

Trust me, finding a decent home is the number one priority. The average $150 to $200 a rescue charges barely covers expenses, and if the potential adopter cant afford that, its often an indication that they wont be able to afford to take proper care of the pet.

Why should I trust you? Two of my children worked in rescue centers, one by the hsus. I know a lot about them.

Now trust me, the people involved in the upper part of the rescue groups (and not in the trenches) are raking in big big money in salaries and perks. Take away this and they are gone in a New York minute.

HSUS is mostly involved in getting legislation passed and busting puppy mills like the one in this video. The bulk of animals that are rescued from shelters are rescued by private rescue groups, which have no ties to HSUS. And all the local "humane societies" that aren't affiliated with HSUS. You honestly don't know what you're talking about. And what is your point, anyway? Watch the video again and try to become an actual human.

Type this in on the search for youtube and watch the video.

SCAM ALERT - HSUS and Wayne Pacelle

Thats awful. those dogs dont deserve that!!

[1lightspeed]

I'm certain all of these dogs are happy, and well socialized in ther CAGES, and small runs. This is obviously a puppy mill! Remember to never purchase an animal from people who breed on a scale such as this...not only are the animals not receiving the adequate socialization necessary to be a companion animal, but the chances are excellent that they aren't even getting the proper veterinary care as well. Lets ban together and legislate the trash puppy millers demise!! Adopt rescue dogs!!

[ilovepittybulls]

@1lightspeed adopt dont shop!!!!!!! you get the best dogs and all animals from rescue!!!!!! :)

[1lightspeed]

ilovepittybulls...I agree! Lets cause the lower class trash puppymillers to go BROKE! Then the world will have plenty of dishwashers!
