Fetched you a new one from Oregon.

What part of "puppy mill" does the government not understand?

100 dogs, in holes in the ground covered with planks, or tied to farm equipment?

Were they fighting pit bulls or breeding purebreds for profit, or what?

What were they doing with 100 dogs? And earlier this year, nearby 200 dogs were rescued?

Oregon, listen, people don't need 100 dogs. Really.

100 dogs are not pets. 200 dogs sounds like far too much work for any family. And where do you put the poop from 200 dogs? And the urine?

A show breeder can do very well with her 4 best breeding dogs - the rest can be fixed (spayed/ neutered).

A socially responsible dog club would allow fixed dogs to compete alongside the fertile ones.

If the club they belong to doesn't allow fixed dogs to enter, then they need to find a new club or work to change the club that they are in.

I am for FAIR limit laws, that restrict the number of unfixed cats and dogs per residence, and/ or per person - so long as those laws do NOT give excemptions to clubs, kennels, purebreds, or people with dozens of dogs.
