close in a cruise geo political concept went oh you lost the run starts december 18th, on the w. the they suffer. many get injured. many died each year, tens of thousands of puppies are smuggled throughout europe. you get to some of the tracts, illegal puppy traitors across the continental spectrum . oh grove, i've been physically attacked. and of course, there's been threats and the like. that's just part of the job shifter to be a getting his head, her eye on a legal puppy mills. many puppies, end up with belgian dog traitors coming from the east.

so much suffering in there. more than you could ever imagine. you never get used to it ever in germany to tens of thousands of puppies are sold on the black market each year at the time that you don't have an e u pet license. no contract, not even a chat history to show you don't have anything other than these dogs. the she's followed the routes of underground dog trainers for thousands of kilometers for years. be a good teeth. mine has been working with the animal welfare organization for paws to combat these criminal networks. for investigations will eventually take her to belgium. but 1st she goes to prague to meet a woman who's left the legal puppy trade behind her. so my object is in my line of work, it's very important to have contacts in all directions that truly shifts. so of

course that means not only talking to the quote unquote good guys who are on our side and on that too. but also speaking with the people who were or still are in this business to do things, not many are willing to speak openly. we got lucky you know, the long he's been to years working in this criminal business at the do to cuz you saw the animal abuse and then she decided to quit. so that this woman ran what's known as a pop email. a place where dogs are produced to like goods for sale. many european puppy mills can be found in romania, full guerria. and like here, poland, they use hormones to keep dogs and heat until they're pregnant. they're barely more than birth machines. almost all animals here are sick, including the puppies. but what matters to the breeders are the

prophets not animal welfare. we can compare what happens in those emails with ordinary breathing. legitimate breeders, keep a close eye on their animal cells and work to prevent in breathing. the so what else do you need to cut off? that doesn't happen and these now flood zone. i mean, everyone in the sea knows be a good. but that's not the case for her colleague who's asked to be names of. she doesn't want to be recognized as is usually the one to find suspicious offers online. i think a cool club. i used to be an underground breeder. she knows the business well. at one point she couldn't take the brutal way the dogs were being treated anymore. she says, so she decided to take up the fight instead of the she's found a new breeding center in your pocket. this is exactly the kind of information that be a good came here for us because we just please,

it's all well documented. human i, there are close up images on the pictures of dogs and kennel, se city, so all up for sale to day. if the puppies can be viewed in a show room. but oh my, they are in the back where the puppies are born and raised to me. they won't like you in it is not a chance of, i'm not sure of them was not able to handle whose key to be done about the to the news is a check animal rights activist or going out committee colors or she calls the breeders saying that the i get is interested in buying a puppy, but the breeder is wearing nascar so she told me to call back later. she is very, very cautious failed, failed miss prowler. be a good wants to go scope out the place herself. she hopes to document how the

animals are being kept with a hidden camera and the help of a check friend. a lot of money is at stake. across europe, the dog breeding industry is worth more than $1000000000.00 euros a year. much of a donnie legally to be a get knows her job is dangerous. and josh, visual. moreover, i've been physically attacked. and of course, there's been threats in the light of glass just part of the jobs the tool. but i think you need to be able to handle situations like that, and i can deal with that just trying to half an hour later. this would be a good standing face to face with the suspected breeder. the woman remains wary and send her away. but the animal activist won't give up that easily. she uses her hidden camera to try to film the back side of the building to catch a glimpse of the kennels and the breeding station. but it's no use.

meanwhile, is bank of the former breeder is grooming sherry and her prob dogs salon. she says she kind of fell into the illegal puppy trade. after moving to a small village, she was struggling and didn't have a lot of cash until one day an opportunity arose that hit the ceiling. so that's an adult and then it could be sold for about $3000.00 pounds. and i own dobermans. did you system so i had my female covered and then the prophets i made from selling the puppies was enough to finance my living and breathing costs of all i need, serve you out the whole, i'll send you what always you will, but after 3 dogs or more, i couldn't go to work anymore. they said it was because i was busy taking care of them, obviously. right. and that's what will happen that going to tell you there's an equal $3000.00 to check cut on that. so not even 120 years. now the bank is ashamed of the fact that she was ever

a part of the business so it should be a good ins are heading to the german check border along the way. they review the video footage they captured of the newly discovered pop email device. so that's so high tech, right? oh yeah, that's all high tech. they've got cameras everywhere. and then we ring the bell and she went and opened a gauge of most it was a good day for the animal activists there. sure. this new information will be useful to them at some point. border check point to folks can be a good words with the bavarian border police offering regular training on how to effectively combat illegal probably traffic in calling them particularly i'm think who is the tv for tonight today? she wants to learn more about what role that plays in these officers day to day

work to us. how do you mean if it is the name for right here is where the border police uncovered the smuggling of 5 puppies and one adolescent dog from romania just a month ago. back here, the animals weren't doing well. and the officers noticed a suspicious looking vehicle. they pulled it over for questioning, surviving the they don't find any puppies in the car, but the family dog is traveling without an e. u. pet passport. the police have several options on how to respond. they offer to let the owners hand in a copy of the dogs identification papers at a later date, and otherwise they'll send over an official veterinarian to check up on things.

police chief specified maya says he once found puppies in the trunk of one of the cars he was inspecting is good enough. it really gets to have benjamin benjamins, especially when they're so small. they're so horrible license in general. so most of the time they're too young to have been taken away from their mothers. yeah, it can really get your blood pumping type. why is there something that could afford all sorts? i can't let them see that austin was a poor professional enough not to let it show down because i be a get inside or at the nuremberg animal shelter. the manager, tanya chavo, says the shelter bears the burden of the listed puppy trade. in the past 6 months, she's had to turn away confiscated puppies 3 times, simply because her shelter was already full. ever since the corona virus pandemic, the situation has become dire in germany's animal shelters. be a good said, she seemed full panels all across the country. during locked down, many people bought a dog, often from

a legal businesses and then gave them up. the shelter also takes in traffic dogs. in march 2021, a van and new in bird transporting a 100 puppies. some of which were definitely it was stopped for inspection. the animals were from eastern europe on their way towards belgium. all the dogs were successfully confiscated, quarantine vaccinated the warmed, chipped, and then placed in homes. only one didn't make it. at the time the handlers tried to take the matter to court to get their dogs back. after all, they were valued in around 200000 euro is altogether, the handlers weren't successful, but the shelter was very worried for the puppies placed in their care. this is phones under that bottle load is simply horrifying to us and i find it unacceptable that politically, we can't find a way to automatically seize ownership. as soon as it's determined that someone is transport in puppies that are still too young, i am told in period point in the nuremberg animal shelter,

the staff frequently faced the despair of caring for puppies that are definitely, you know. but what tanya should novel has never seen before is where these traffic animals end up. but the a get inside, have been there, visited dubious belgian dog traitors, and filled everything with their hidden camera. it's all right, i'm serious. let's see it. it's like all the light. 7 and visitors are still allowed in there. sure. you can go in and touch them, pet,

them even take them out and stare. it's so dirty. it looks awful. look, see those included living with ships that can't be serious. think you just look at that. 2 the speech language contact saying i must say i wasn't aware of the conditions they were being kept invited on investment the. i'd only seen the websites and what they present there was life and those are mostly all done up with enclosures and grass. so i thought that those play says would at least keep up appearances in real life isn't what it is. i can't understand why anyone would buy

a dog there and support this doesn't district be again, has visited these belgian dog traffic those before, but she never gets used to the terrible conditions she finds there. that's the kind you never get used to it and we see sick animals, genetically deformed animals, dying animals, and animals that are suffering terribly. we see all sorts of things and we witness so much suffering. there's more than you could ever imagine. but you never get used to it ever. and i honestly have to say every time i go over there, i know i need to brace myself. otherwise, it would completely overwhelmed me, but which is which defines the number of animal shelter is currently caring for $49.00 dogs. the manager is convinced that the elicit puppy trade will continue to worsen as of any with a line. just looking at how things have developed in this shelter over the years has to be very worried that things are only going to get worse. not better. that's

what this that's, that's what we've been educating the public and raising awareness for years. and in spite of it all, or everybody still goes out and gets a dog at one of these places, he appreciate one for the following morning. the shows be a good the next potentially criminal puppy sale she found online. the 2 are on the look out for puppies, the state can in pound. but as soon as the casually asks to see a vaccination certificate, the perspective sellers hesitate to decide to move on to belgium, where many traffic puppies end up to be a good wants to see if conditions have improved since our last visit something that has yet to occur is literally just as my heart is heavy having to go there, t minus the times that we visited were just so shocking. what we saw there was so sad. the dogs don't bark like they're screaming. they just wanted to get out of

there many have given up many are sick, is it some dice into conference, use them several hours later and a parking lot in the forest. this will be a good his speaking with a woman selling dogs who refuses to show her any immunization records for the puppy she's offering. i'll be honest with you. i don't need to make the sale. so that's that. but you have my sympathy. i am. i have a husband and he says, we can't give out any information be a get a certain that this poppy without any records was traffic that legally the woman wouldn't show any vaccination documentation and claim that was for the sake of data privacy. shelby, i'd say exact, i told her it would suffice if she just sent proof of the vaccination or something like that in was nothing that could be traced to her,

but she felt that too. why would somebody do that if they were innocent? it's just ridiculous. so tyler clutch, they never heard from the woman again. be a good and are both professionals. they both work full time for the animal welfare organization for pause. now they end their hidden camera have arrived that a belgian dog traitor that has raised some eyebrows. the 2 animal welfare activists have been here many times before. each time the conditions they found were appalling. the puppies, here are kept in boxes that completely closed them off from their environment. such young puppies shouldn't even be separated from their mothers, yet in the lots of rest. but here visitors can handle all the dogs, which creates a high risk for dangerous diseases, to pass from one box to another. the

. for that evening, they sat down with a friend, the veterinarian kissed into an yes to try and diagnose the dogs. they were able to film. if those mirrors look at this, i want to hear what you have to say about this one way he moves that can be normal . look at this. oh, the print is that he could be seriously injured. in any case, it's completely a typical for him to move like that. and he certainly has a huge problem back there. i must see this is tiers with that dog is doing is definitely the result of a behavioral disorder. i doubt it would be possible to train that back out of an animal. it'd be very difficult. it breaks your heart disease from other seats

that draws a damning conclusion for the dogs, their health, and their behavior. she is the issue with the dogs that has to live in, grew up like this. it's practically inevitable to say will display behavioral probably yeah. with a pretty much their entire lives. and that can become a real problems the next morning and how to sign the vet, shift into a news has to deal with the fall out of the legal public trafficking on a near daily basis. daisy and barney both came from an eastern european breeding station and were smuggled into germany. their owner found them online. the sad fate of these 2 multi use is depressingly common. fight a while ago were a classic case of a legal puppy trafficking. and when they got here, neither one of them was healthy. i think they both had massive diarrhea if i'm not

mistaken. you know, based in sienna ventures to come, because that's a classic problem, a lose the cap that keeps getting this located. be a good is here to talk to kids and about an impoundment they planned for tomorrow. and while she's here, she might as well help out. i did. yeah. so did it, did you give us a hand? could you just hold the dog and place from the back, and the owner can stay in the front with them. so, yes, here i have a few immunization records. these documents all belongs to illegally traffic to puppies on i. once owners found out they have been duped, they simply left of the papers with captain. almost all records show some form of clumsy forgery. here a birth month was simply changed with some correction tape. other alterations are almost comical. on the year we have my absolute favorite, you know,

i mean each certificate contains one error or another. otherwise i wouldn't have held onto them here. so this is kira, you can see here basically nothing was written down. of course, no owner different colors here. you can't even tell is it male or female. the birth month was altered, but it was born in 2012. and if you keep looking, you'll find the only vaccination written down was against rabies in november, 2011. that means this dog was vaccinated before it was even born. born for the absolutely on us the summit as it was made zones, i found 2 french bulldog puppies for sale, online parental tuition says some things off. so be a get, gives them a call and listens to the epsky or story of the puppies. suppose it origin my mother told me she got the dogs from a friend who had gotten them from a breeder. yeah. she's going to try to figure out what the name was.

the story sounds suspicious. so they decide to go and visit the seller the following day. they want to see for themselves how the puppies are doing. even if the case isn't clear, my mom is old sometimes, you know, from the very beginning that it's a absolutely illegal guy. yeah. but the traffic there's, have learned long distance, i'm not solely in this case. the puppies, look through the wood so pathetic. and he didn't know where they had come from what he said. the vaccination records were at the vets office and he couldn't retrieve them on the following day. be a good insight. i hit the road once again to check on the french bulldog puppies, near frankfort. this time the vet kissed into a news is with them to pose as a potential buyer. they've brought their hidden camera

system can tell immediately that the puppies are malnourished and have a skin disease. a woman claiming to be the mother of the seller says they got the animals from an acquaintance who had gotten them from a breeder. she said she unfortunately doesn't know the name of the breeder. they tell them they're just heading out to take out some cash to complete the sale. then they take action, dusty magazine on vision sensor, we saw what state the dogs were in and heard that the dogs, origins were unclear and we went to the police side to find you fully tight. so they were raised tuck, they caused the canine unit to the canine unit called the veterinary inspection office using sheets, and now everybody is onboard. it's like to so we're going straight back to the seller and she's expecting us. but i'm not with this kind of bank because it's on a

quick check in with the police and the state veterinarian and they're off to seize the puppies. oh, good. oh, back at the prospective seller kiersten takes the animals and she's followed by the state vet and a police officer. up until now the perspective seller had claimed his mother had gotten the dogs from an acquaintance who had bought them from a breeder. the state veterinary and wants to know details what does that mean? where did you get them? from? coca cola, quote is a web portal for selling goods and services. not a word about that. suppose a breeder or mysterious acquaintance anymore. the state vet and doubles down to its fine. can you show me a chat history? no, no, no contract contact information for the seller?

no. so you don't have anything. i've got nothing on that. as i said, but you said you got that from an acquaintance of your mothers since like i said, i bought them, unquote. and then see, and i'm done making any most statements in front of the camera. what's more, the perspective seller can produce an e u pet passport. he says the bed is holding onto all the paperwork, so the state veterinary and calls them up and asks if they know the owner then i'm of never heard of them. things are getting tight. if they find proof that he smuggled the dogs into germany, he could face up to 3 years in prison. i understand and i respect that, but you can't prove that. i bought them in a foreign country. yes, i didn't get them and i'm from the hope you can't prove anything right now. you don't have an e passport. you don't have

a contract. you can't show any chat history. you have nothing other than these dogs gone. it's also, he's the one that's not enough right now. plus, you know, we just tried to find out what the vet knew and does of now the bet says he has no idea. so we've got nothing there either. dom managed. okay. see, i've got nothing that i use as a special device to read the puppies chips both or tag with german ships. but that doesn't say much most illegal traffic or as well smuggled. dogs over the border without any papers by comes on a piece, but it's most incriminating for them to have no papers then for them to have 4 and papers as high. that means they can take these copies to the vet and claim they are their pets. and the vet, well, chip and backs made them and that makes them german puppies. even though they were smuggled in soon be a get the emptiest and will set out again to stem themselves against the rising

tide of illegally traffic to puppies. at least for today, they were able to save these to the of the
