Puppy Mills

[ClydeR]

The Obama administration is extending federal oversight to online pet stores in an effort to crack down on abusive “puppy mills.”

A measure from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) puts new restrictions on breeders that sell pets on the Internet, closing what animal rights advocates call a loophole in the law.

“The puppy mills are kind of like factory farms for dogs where the mother dogs are treated like a breeding machine and the puppies are turned out like a commodity,” Wayne Pacelle, president and chief executive of the Humane Society of the U.S., said in an interview with The Hill.

I've got news for you. Puppies are commodities. They sell them in stores.

This animal rights stuff is getting out of control. I already posted about how they stopped the subways in New York to save two stray kittens and how they rescued more animals than people in Colorado.

Pretty soon, liberals will want cats and dogs to vote.

Stop being stupid ClydeR, they will want them to run for office. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_the_Cat)

Then they will take hits out on them once they outlive their usefulness in office. (http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/04/us/alaska-cat-mayor-attacked/index.html)

Wow, ClydeR is a proponent of animal cruelty. =(

How was ClydeR the sperm that won? I can only imagine what the world would be subject to had a weaker sperm won the race...

There's no stereotype on conservatives (or liberals for that matter) that match any of the content in your post.

You might want to work on your Colbert schtick a little more. It's been getting a bit stale and uninspired over the past couple months.

I'm all for this. Puppies don't generate enough power per feed to run an efficient mill anyway. Is it really so hard to require millers to check birth certificates? Pornographers do.

Latrinsorm is ClydeR.

I haven't speculated on the identity of Clyde in some time and the pressure...it was building.

Whew.

No comment, that's too easy.

I know, and Latrin and Clyde have both been slipping in their posting style gimmicks lately. Like he's trying too hard.

This could be fixed if he would just go Super Saiyan already.

[Latrinsorm]

I don't even have a gimmick when I'm posting as Latrinsorm!

Not that I post as anyone else!

Your gimmick is switching between talking in riddles or being so intellectually nonsensical that no one understands what you're attempting to say.

Your gimmick is switching between talking in riddles or being so intellectually nonsensical that no one understands what you're attempting to say.Stanley understands me. Also, I never post something that I honestly believe people won't understand, and I am always hurt when they (esp. Showal) don't.
And usually doing it in no less than 37 paragraphs.Yeah but each paragraph is usually only a sentence or two long, so I've got that going for me.

Repulsed by such abuse, increasing numbers of American cities are putting a leash on retail dog sales. San Diego is the latest to make it illegal for stores to display, sell, or even give away dogs, cats or rabbits unless the animals are obtained from a shelter, animal control agency, humane society or nonprofit rescue organization.

San Diego is also the second-largest U.S. city to outlaw retail dog sales. It follows Los Angeles; Albuquerque; Austin; Villa Park, Ill., and more than two dozen other cities in doing so. Connecticut lawmakers are considering the first statewide ban on the practice. It’s all part of a rapidly growing drive to abolish the high-volume commercial dog breeding that takes place on puppy farms. Animal-rights activists say these operations, which can produce more than 2,000 pups a week, supply the vast majority of dogs to pet shops.

Efforts to ban Main Street dog sales have met with fierce opposition from breeders and pet shop owners alike. “It’s absolutely absurd,” says David Salinas, owner of San Diego Puppy. “It’s the result of an animal rights extremist-type movement. We’re not Communist Russia. Americans should have a right to choose where they can shop.”

At least the government shutdown has put a temporary stop to oppressive investigations by the federal government..


NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The ongoing partial government shutdown has meant a halt in inspections for puppy mills and pet dealers, and animal welfare advocates warn this means animals could be put in danger.
