Animal Rights organizations have used photographs and video footage of alleged inhumane conditions for years to help spread their propaganda “puppy mill” message and persuade the general public and political parties on issues related to legislative animal law ”perversion” to be enacted.
The Rise of Ecoterrorism in Animal Rights “Puppy Mill” Bull in Iowa and elsewhere!
Animal Rights organizations have used photographs and video footage of alleged inhumane conditions for years to help spread their propaganda “puppy mill” message and persuade the general public and political parties on issues related to legislative animal law ”perversion” on exaggerated or misleading issues about animal welfare involving responsible dog owners, breeders, and dog kennels that breed dogs in a professional manner and in an eco-environment.
More recently, “Puppy Mill” propaganda groups have allegedly been using footage to assist in bringing charges against owners of dog kennels in many states where the footage was shot, in a manner reminiscent of a daytime ”soap opera” where truth and fiction is never distinguished by facts, rather only by alleged video emotional “set ups” in video and photography techniques or tricks of photography by animal rights activist groups and sympathizers.
This alleged photographic evidence is often obtained when animal rights activists or animal rescue activists either trespass on the private property premises or gain entrance under false pretenses, like gaining employment without disclosing affiliations with animal rights groups or seeking employment in a dog kennel in order to exaggerate the truth on health issues.
When these cases come to trial, they often implicate other legal issues, such as the admissibility of photographs in trials and fourth amendment search and seizure rights that are many times violated by the animal rights activists in order to gain illegal, illicit, or immoral access to their “intended kennel targets.” These “puppy mill” seeking activists also raise questions in alleged lies and propaganda about why dogs and other animals are not better protected by the inspections included in most USDA or state agricultural regulation laws (or lack of laws).
Currently in Iowa, a “battle” is brewing between legitimate and responsible dog kennel owners and dog breeders against animal rights activists such as one, Mary LaHay, from Des Moines, Iowa, who allegedly claims to now be an “expert” in “puppy mill” activities in the state of Iowa, just because 2 years ago she was allegedly not happy with a puppy she apparently picked and purchased from an unknown dog kennel.
And the Insanity of this “dog and pony” puppy mill propaganda is that Iowa legislators, and sympathetic Veterinarians, and Animal Rescue groups (who sell dogs for profit, under the name rescue or adoption scheme) are supporting this animal “puppy mill” activist. In reality, the screaming of Iowa is a puppy mill state, is allegedly way past time in her credibility of her alleged facts on the issue at hand; for now, the responsible 440 legitimate dog kennel owners in Iowa need to ”circle the wagons” and “fire back” at all this animal rights “puppy mill” propaganda BULL being dished out as fact! It is insanity in society, to allow alleged “spoon fed” animal rights propaganda to be put forth to the people of Iowa, without the other side’s facts being heard.
This is what this article is about. It’s not about LaHay, it’s about “puppy mill” facts, effecting Iowa dog owners with “perverted” animal laws and legislation proposals.
The Dark Side of 'Foreign Puppy Mills'
Animal welfare workers hold two foreign puppy mill survivors that were sold at auction recently in Los Angeles: a miniature Yorkshire terrier and a miniature Maltese.
Debbie Garringer of Claremont, Calif., holds one of the two dogs she won at the auction. Garringer paid $2,000 for this miniature Maltese.
Hundreds of people turned out to bid on 10 purebred puppies at L.A.'s East Valley Animal Shelter. The auction raised more than $20,000 in money that will go to the city's animal shelters.
Purebred dogs go for top dollar in pet stores around the country, but buyers of cute, cuddly puppies may not know that some come from unregulated breeding mills overseas. So-called puppy-mill dogs are showing up sick and dehydrated at major airports around the country.
In Los Angeles, one recent shipment of dead and ailing puppies from South Korea got the city's attention. Twenty of the dogs in the shipment seized at Los Angeles International Airport either had died or had to be euthanized after the trip. The 10 survivors were turned over to the city's shelter.
Five months later, those survivors, of five miniature Maltese and five tiny Yorkshire terriers were ready for adoption. Hundreds of animal lovers, many wrapped in blankets to keep warm, lined up on a chilly morning in front of L.A.'s East Valley Animal Shelter for a chance to bid on the dogs.
Ed Boks, the general manager of L.A. Animal Services, was thrilled at the turnout. City law requires him to hold an auction when more than one person wants an animal.
"I want to begin with a few facts that you won't commonly hear from your local pet store with respect to where animals, puppies just like this, can often times go for $3,500 or more," he told the crowd.
Boks said the 10 minipurebreds arrived with forged health certificates. The documents put their ages at 5 months, but they were actually only 5 weeks old.
"These puppies are the product of a cruel, factory-style dog breeding operation that produces animals with chronic health problems, temperament issues and hereditary defects, so our message to all of you this morning is buyer beware," he warned.
Overseas Puppy Mills Proliferate
Puppy mills began proliferating overseas about five years ago; at about the same time that U.S. authorities started cracking down on unscrupulous domestic breeders.
Tom Sharp of the American Kennel Club says that's when he started seeing bulldogs arriving from Russia and Yorkies from South Korea. With the help of the Internet, Sharp says, dishonest pet stores and breeders could easily get puppies overseas.
"That way, they don't have to be inspected by the different organizations and the governments here in the U.S., and avoid all the requirements," he says.
Right now, the only federal requirement an importer has to follow is to provide proof of a current rabies vaccine documentation that is easily forged.
Federal regulators say that rule was written at a time when the only dogs coming into the United States were companion pets. Nina Marano of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Congress just passed a law banning the importation of dogs under 6 months old for resale.
But Marano says it will take at least two years for the ban to be enforced.
"We can try to regulate our way out of it, but another part is, I think, the issue about demand is that there needs to be a lot more public education about the demand that is being created for these puppies," she says.
A winning bid for shelter dogs
The demand was high for Los Angeles' puppy-mill survivors.
One winning bidder was Debbie Garringer. "I was really lucky, and I'm happy, so happy, and I will take care of it so much and it will have a beautiful home," she said.
All 10 of the purebred puppy-mill survivors got new homes, as did 52 other pets from the shelter. In all, Animal Services raised more than $20,000 and got its message out.
Side Note: Adoption is just another word of political correctness, for purchasing a dog from a shelter/rescue that IS a dog selling business. The adoption or rescue people need to drive the breeding and kennel owners “out of business” in order to corner the profiteering market in selling adopted or rescued dogs to the public. It’s all about the money trail in rescue and adoptions. Eliminate the competition thru animal laws.
Even the shelters are using the 'rescue' to make big money. So the emphasis on stopping 'puppy mills' needs to be put forth on the foreign sources of 'puppy mills' and the American airports where these foreign 'puppy mill' dogs are arriving.
If you are going to purchase a dog, then seek out a locally well known dog breeder. But please don't shop for pets in stores.
The more I hear about Iowa’s Mary LaHay and her “Puppy Mill” Propaganda, the more I like dog breeders and the dog kennel owners.
This country was built by dog people who got dirty, but in a clean way. Dirty men and women with calloused hands and dingy overalls and women with dog food stains and baby puppy spit-up on them were responsible for this nation's Golden Age called Liberty and Freedom. Now the state of Iowa and many other states in this nation have to deal with “animal rights activists” like Mary LaHay, in Des Moines, Iowa with her “puppy mill” bull attempting to portray responsible and legitimate dog kennel owners as some starch-collared, manicured USDA “puppy mill” influenced dog and puppy commodities trader.
Mary LaHay, in Iowa is courting with the Iowa legislators who have “no spine” to tell these animal rights activists to stifle their alleged “perverted” dog kennel inspection legislation requests. Animal rights(AR) activist groups "perverting" the natural God given laws, while these alleged Puppy Mill Screaming "perverts" sit at a computer all day and trade animal legislation ordinances, laws, regulations about dogs, cats, pets, animals that may even include horses, cattle, sheep, goats, beans, gold, oil, timber and other things these "PERVERTED" law maker seekers and Animal Rights groups have no idea how to produce proper raised dogs, or any other animals.
Mary LaHay, in Des Moines, Iowa does not even produce a single properly raised puppy from birth in a kennel or operate on a farm with animals or in any other loving pet owner homes, in a traditional and natural God given manner, independent of government intrusion or violation of the U.S. Constitution. Mary LaHay is allegedly just an “animal activist” screaming “puppy mill” all over the state of Iowa.
The best people I've ever known had hands that looked like well-worn leather with cracks and crevices that crisscrossed their palms with tributaries of topsoil with a bunch of loving pet dogs running beside them through the fields, and towns where they live and own property, or have dog kennels or, in their homes, on their private property premises.
These legitimate dog kennel owners in Iowa, and many other states as well, are traditional animal farmers and proper dog and puppy breeders, also called animal producers, pet lovers, and family people, who worked all day in the kennels, and fields or at their jobs and got so dirty when they came home at night they had to undress outside because they had a quarter-acre of soil in their boots from their land. Always insuring their dogs, pets, and animals were all taken properly care of in all things, before the owner went into their own home to even eat, sleep or rest.
Dog Kennel owners, and Dog Breeders, LOVE THEIR DOGS, plain and simple. And they have the intelligence and ability to properly maintain numerous dogs on their own private property. Just because an owner has up to 150 dogs, has no bearing or fact that they are unable to properly maintain them. It’s the Animal Rights Activists” like Mary LaHay, that just “scream” puppy mill because, she allegedly was “unhappy” with HER CHOICE of a puppy from some unknown breeder.
If Mary LaHay, in Iowa, or any other Animal Rights Activist would like to “debate” the legitimacy of their alleged reasons and alleged validity of any “puppy mills” in Iowa, then this Lead Investigative Reporter who has owned and loved dogs all his life, living in Iowa, is more than willing to entertain her potential request to debate (on her tab).
The dirty boots and clothing of Animal Rights Activists
The alleged dirty boots and clothing of the HSUS, PETA, AR, or USDA premises inspectors or the "death squads" sent to kill or cull or seize all your pets and animals, while they continue to "track" the disease known as "DEATH" into the next premises of upcoming euthanized animal death. All in the name of an Animal's Right? TO what be murdered by a syringe, instead of what, a loving family environment? It's perverted thinking at best, evil at worst, and all in the minds of sick, demented people known as potential terrorists to pets, owners, and life itself.
There is no good solution except to RESIST perverted thinking and Take back Our Laws, to restore them to natural God given laws. Because killing healthy pet animals like blood-sport, or scorched earth policy of a Nuke strike, is NOT a solution either. You would think intelligent college educated people, mayors, councilmen/women, state governors, congressional members, and animal Vets, could use their "Brains" and still save lives, not "destroy" them.
