Gov. Schwarzenegger Duped into Buying a Puppy Mill Dog from Elite Animals - CAPS Investigation

This Companion Animal Protection Society undercover investigation shows the clerk at the pet store Elite Animals (in West Hollywood, CA) repeatedly lying to different customers about where their puppies come from. CAPS investigation proves that the animals sold at Elite Animals come from puppy mills and not "breeders' homes" as the clerk claims. The victims of Elite Animals' dishonesty include Gov. Schwarzenegger and the Osbornes. More info at: http://www.caps-web.org

like2bonree,

You sound like a stone-hearted moron. Puppy mills, the vernacular for commercial breeding factories, ARE morally wrong and so are you, by arguing for them. These inhumane enterprises that torture animals are legal and they are also wrong. Read some history if you can read, that is, and learn about all of the inhumane practices that were once legal and were legislated as a result of public pressure on moral gounds. Grow a brain.

@tiemedown yeah, true. we keep forgetting what immense power we have as cosnsummers don't we? or we just like it a bit cheaper and a bit easier..!

[aditi1998]

how can humans be so cruel to animals? i wish the puppy mill owners can experience the puppy's life at a puppy mill

[tiemedown]

@qubatuta I agree but with pet dissolution groups like PETA, professional breeders are finding it more difficult to maintain licenses. Puppy mills crop up in their absence to fill the void and animals suffer. Promote and support professional breeding and pet stores would go under more quickly than if a law were put in place that could possibly inspire organized crime.

they should have an authority that has as a job to check where the pet shops get the puppies from, and if they get them from puppymills, tab them with a huge fine! Then we'll see if they would care more....These people talk money language, and we should talk the same language back...MONEY TALKS BABY! (of course the best thing of all would be to make it illegal, like it is in many many other countries in the western world...strange that America is so far behind...)

I saw that YouTube had closed like2bonree's account. We be really proud that YouTube had closed that person's account because that person was such an idiot. Way to go YouTube users Charming Films and hollywoodjinky. Show those people that they're missing the point about puppy mills and other pet factories that are inhumane.

@like2bonree , just fyi, we have a law in West Hollywood because of the practices of this store. It's a law that prohibits the sale of dogs and cats from pet factories, puppy mills and facilities like that of Linda in Riverside. It's no longer legal, ok?

You really are a nitwit. Google west hollywood ordinance banning sale of dogs and read all about it. Maybe you'll learn something useful?

Your attempts to hide my comments by getting enough thumbs down will not work.

Anyone can simply click on the blue "options" link next to the text comments and the simply change their settings to "show all comments"

Don't you think people know this already? Most people want to see the comments that others don't want them to see. That's where the goodies are!!!

If you think the pet industry is bad now, see what happens if commercial breeders and pet stores are put out of business. Think black market, no regulation,only fines and arrests IF caught, no tax revenues, and at least a quadruple number of smaller sized back door business's across America that will prove an impossible task to police. I don't question the sincerity of your intentions, but your methodology is completely backwards!

This means 76,999,900 households haven't even SEEN this video.

The government will take in approximately 2.5BILLION dollars in much needed tax revenue this year alone on pet related sales.

All your efforts are just a flea bite on the ass of an elephant who didn't notice, and if it does, the federal government will eventually take a fly swatter to YOU instead of taking a $2.5 BILLION dollar hit on tax revenue.
