Where's my doggie?

Well, I wouldn't want a pet FROM at "class A" dealer/breeder.

But your pet doesn't want to go TO a "class B" dealer. Better off dead with a quick injection, than living the life of a 'lab rat'. Dogs are often used as 'lab rats' or 'guinea pigs'.

People have been trying to stop vivisection from the beginning:

If you have been reading, you know that one of PETA's latest is a months long infiltration of a University in Utah - one of the few states that still have pound seizure laws - a law which says that if a shelter receives public money, then it MUST provide animals to experiment type places.

I am saddened that lost pets can be sold into places of torture and hell.

There are suppose to be laws. But who is enforcing these laws? The gov? Or does it look like PETA is doing the work?

And I have been around dog show breeders far too many times to be trusting. I just read that class B dealers are suppose to get dogs only from certain types of sources and under certain conditions - one of those is from the person who bred the dog.

Isn't that nice, not? And who would have the paper work that says that they are the breeder of your dog? Might it be the person who you bought the dog from?

Funny, I have heard dog breeders say that they only sell puppies with a contract that says the buyer must return the dog if the owner can't keep it anymore, BECAUSE, the breeder doesn't want the dog sold into research.

But if the class B dealer, is suppose to get dogs from breeders . . . just what do breeder do with returned dogs? There are plenty of dogs for sell on petfinders. Not many grown dogs for sell in the newspaper. Where are these dogs ending up?

A list of dog bunchers is good, but it doesn't tell you who is gathering up and selling dogs and cats to the bunchers.

A list of states that have laws that force shelters to sell dogs into research, and a list of states that forbid pounds from selling pet dogs into research, yields interesting results.

Look at how many are in North Carolina? Didn't know NC was that populated! North Carolina? that rings a bell. What is in North Carolina, something that cares about dogs?
