these facilities because they don't make their inspection records public quite frankly if they were meaningful inspections there would be no reason not to make them public. while the a k c boasts of a rigorous inspection program in 2011 only $1500000.00 of their $59000000.00 in revenue was spent to employ just 9 inspectors across the entire united states. big case is a group that says it's the dogs champion but in practical terms is consistently leading the fight against efforts to establish humane dog breeding standards in the states at the federal level. over $5000.00 kennel inspections last year. the american kennel club. we make all this possible

because you make us possible. just or your dog the only us registry that matters is an a.g.c. dot org and or ever we advance that sort of legislation radical not far reaching just basic fundamental anything that a pet owner would think is a minimal standard of care the casey opposes it since 2009 the a k c as opposed over 100 different bills regulations ordnances the protect dogs in 2012 alone the a k c opposed to nebraska state bill that would require commercial breeders to have regular on site visits by a veterinarian a louisiana state bill that would prohibit all dog owners from stacking crates a rhode island state bill that the a k c deemed dangerous that would make it unlawful for dog owners to keep a dog confined in a pen cage or other shelter for more than 14 hours. a proposed ordinance in shelby

county tennessee that would make it a violation to leave a companion animal unattended in a vehicle for more than one hour when the temperature is above 70 degrees or below $35.00 degrees why is the american kennel club the dog's best friend opposing this legislation that says that once a year you've got to have a vet examine these dogs or you can't breathe them every single heat cycle or you can't have more than 50 breeding females at an operation why would a group pose that well they were there because they're making money from those large scale operations. while the public does not have access to a k c inspection reports many pet stores across the united states emphasize to their potential customers that their facilities are a k.c. approved and inspected one such company is pet land the largest chain of pet stores selling puppies in the united states while most pet lands are independently owned

and operated the company's relationship with the a k c is a central focus in nearly every store. it's not unusual to see a dog that's a case a registered in a pet store. a casey could be targeting this major distribution channel saying we're not going to endorse pet stores if we see our dogs in those stores because we don't feel that is a good means by which a dog is being raced. and unfortunately had not taken a position. where your thoughts were. going through. so i thought. this is really done. anything that's not the case. that. i actually bought my 1st dog from pathway and in my head i was saving that dog from the cage only because it was way too big. for the small cage he was in there was poop and he

just likes sake and i went back to visit and visit and visit well that is very pushy if you've ever been in a pathway and they want you to buy the dog no matter what and you know they give you all these options i would visit the doc it just started me looking through the cage and i code you want to go to a puppy play room and then they give you a toy and you get to play with this dog and you started falling in love with the doc and then you're broke and so they're like here's a credit card if you will help you pay for the dog and he would really love to go home with you and so they're trying to play on your emotions and on your pocketbook your reasoning apparently in store with your family and you can help. you. through your family and now maybe you are asking yourself where did this puppy come from let's take a look at the jury when puppies make before writing our story. while pet land maintains that it does not purchase from substandard breeders there's no doubt that the vast majority of puppies sold in their stores come from large scale

commercial kennels where the parents of those puppies will spend their whole lives in a cage. in 2009 the humane society of the united states released an exhaustive investigation into shipments over 3 months of more than $15000.00 puppies across the country the report determined that 95 percent of the puppies in pet land stores come from large scale commercial kennels and i work at a gym right next to a pet land and i see it all the time and i even stopped and said you know even to a young couple you know with kids hey do me a favor before you go in there you know google puppy mills we know are popular as i said why are you going to buy a dog. you know rescues that have puppies right now what are you looking for a lot of the dogs that are purchased in pet stores we we end up with them because the families can't afford their medical care they have some births a factor some chronic problem or. parvo. or anything that.

i don't compare cup in the actual milk and they always seem to be you know we can state always most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in pet stores so when you go into a pet store and you see that beautiful little puppy that's in jumping out and or really wants the attention from you most people have no idea that the mother and father are back somewhere any factory farm type a setting where it can be horrendous it's not just pet lamb franchises they get the vast majority of their inventory from the primary states for puppy mills independent pet stores choose to seek out these same states a stark example of the supply chain leads directly from holmes county ohio to a single pet store in patterson new jersey. petite pups inspection reports obtained by ohio voters for companion animals show that in 2012 over 300 puppies from puppy

mills in holmes county were sold wholesale to d n g only one reason would seemingly compel the owner of d n g to seek out breeders located over 7 hours away the price for breeders simply selling to a pet shop that's not about placing that animal with a family for the rest of the life that's really about the money have served our puppy mill puppies because a reputable breeder somebody who cares about their animals and wants to know where they're going any breeder that is in it for the love of dogs and they they love what they're doing they're good breeder they're going to have as many questions for you as you have for them no good reputable breeder will sell a dog or any internet or sell a dog to a broker to sell to a pet store that's not going to a good breeder or one of those who you are you always have to go and see the parents of the dog that you're purchasing. if

a breeder does not want you to see the conditions that the parents are living in they're almost guaranteed it's a puppy mill. this is largely a marketing sort of enterprise were people can register the murderers the puppies and you get the halo effect but this isn't a case of the register dollars or litter when in reality it has no practical meaning when it comes to animal welfare ac papers mean absolutely nothing you know and when you come push comes to shove a hasty when they're backed into a corner was a mess and there's nothing to do with humaneness or the quality of the dog only means who the mother and the father is there are in favor of breeding dogs and the more dogs that are bred the more money they make if those dogs are registered with a case a for years and years and years in fact even to this day registration income and

registration fees and puppies are subsidizing the dog shows that the a hasty puts on because the registration fees for dog shows don't mean the amount of money or the expenses of putting them on so historically they have always subsidized their dog shows for registry fees so this is why they're going to see enough of their own money and that's what i always say when people go to the westminster dog show go in there knowing that this show has been subsidized by the croly of puppy mills because the a c. will not stop papering dogs from commercial dog breeders and they oppose legislation when you go to improve the centers of care my 2010 missouri had an estimated 3000 commercial dog breeders and was the largest supplier of puppies to pet stores across the country the nearly 1600 breeders with the u.s.d.a. license was more than the next 3 states combined in the hopes of improving the lives of dogs living in missouri puppy. national and state animal welfare

organizations focused on a ballot initiative that would later become known as proposition be over $190000.00 signatures from missouri residents were collected and the measure made it to the ballot in the 2010 election. which. is the european union's tendency to believe that is it represents europe has long been a major gripe for russia but as the e.u. experiences significant internal difficulties it is studied to reassess what it is and what it stands for what does that process mean for the countries sharing the continent with.

its community there are people who believe that it's ok for actual food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict within the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of that money is made. close one on each of those he knows each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex system to get some 20 a life where. you don't care and cares about your so you don't care about anything . most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to

stand out in the news business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. question. and there was only johnson. and i just got out of prison for. 41 years. i'm 72 years old now i got arrested for too many for some i. feel like just everything was taken out of. my work in the hospital but it was. meant to snow man that looks

a little bit like me. i would have called about. homicide to come. now. that. we're tough you is doing that so i was so you're going. to go. and i didn't do you know i'm afraid to try to frighten kids right give. us no good something bad to . join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see of that.

probably was something that was in the works for many years because missouri is the puppy mill capital of the united states. prob he simply sought to impose humane breeding standards and limits on the size of the puppy mills you know what i started out here paying for all this stuff and whether churn pictures of puppy mills things like that after 2 weeks i just forgot all that literature it was a copy of prop because it wasn't that people wanted to support both the bills or called you the dogs it was is this a stereo that effected other things it was a campaign of fear and misinformation fear. be was going to mysteriously morph into a ban on all rearing of animals and agriculture you know they said that this would

affect farm animals you know it and then of course when they were confronted on it and showed the wall they say well it's a slippery slope but there was still continue to go into rural areas and convinced everybody that this was going to shut down the family farm and it just created mass hysteria and it made a really difficult campaign it didn't deal with cattle deal with pigs it india with chickens it in the old any other species the language was explicit and anyone who's a 1st year law student could say with definitive precision that it just applied to dogs in space a clear way to one of the dominoes and what i call the line of dominoes out here in eliminating all of domesticated animals you know dogs cats and you want the livestock arena forces and so forth and in a ballot measure campaign you don't necessarily need to convince people that your position is right you just need to so enough confusion so that people maintain the

status quo and vote no clothes no way to defend having this so instead they want to change the subject to all these other animals that people will respond to an emotional way this isn't really about puppies this is about your chicken and your beef and your pork and this group wants to take those off your dinner plate at the . emotional triggers that they're going to they're going to press those buttons to get people to respond emotionally oh it's basically a form of lying i mean let's just cut to the chase may this proposition with about dogs but initially wants you to think it's about all these other animals because that will scare the hell it. really is an issue for anyone to like speak meat protein in their diet thank you very much thank you kelly smith marketing and commodities director for missouri farm bureau much more to come on this and other issues as we broadcast from the missouri farm bureau the offices here in jefferson city missouri stay with us it's half time on average.

interestingly my wife and i had made a plan for we settle we put on a piece of paper what our dream of a farm was. after a long search i will show this far it matched exactly. so that's why we here. we lived our lives here pretty much you know or happy leave with we raised our family we raised our kids we felt very comfortable here. we didn't feel threatened at all you know and i mean i would have never at that time suggested to you that clean air was a vital important thing in my life. they were going to raise hogs ok and at the time i did not know how many hogs were going to raise and it turned out that now they raise $80000.00 hogs and 3 miles north of. the farmland food facility in milan missouri is owned by smithfield foods the

largest hog and pork processor in the world with revenues exceeding $13000000000.00 in 2013. the operation north of me is called green hills. there isn't a single pig in there that ever seen as the green hills there isn't a single pig on the. that ever sees the valley. so these are wonderful names but in this are these factory buildings where these hogs are housed in these big barns with little fresh air with no sunlight with little movement with no grass no nothing you hear the name valley view and you think all little piggy riding on green grass you know just kind of smooching out there living in the sun you don't see that. these are feeder pigs in the amounts awaits are just incredible and you sit in your backyard with your family and you eat dinner or you sit outside on a warm summer night and all over sudden this thing rolls in and i would call

it a trespasser it just trespasses on your property gulfs you and it's there and i mean it's just like it's just like if a visitor coming that you have not invited relationship with the missouri farm bureau radically changed when he began to complain about the daily waste and odors emitting from smithfield foods that tree farm while he assumed the farm bureau would support a local independent farmer against his new corporate neighbor. was left to fight alone. i felt abandoned and also felt that i was working for the wrong organization for for so many years because all of a sudden this operation this organization backed allen and it supposedly is a farm organization these supposedly supports individual independent farmers and all of a sudden they were siding with industry and they are siding with industry to this

very day they campaigned against prop b. began immediately after it was approved for the ballot at a gathering of the most powerful agricultural forces in missouri at the stinson morrison and hacker law firm in addition to members of the dog breeding industry the meeting included the leadership of the missouri farm bureau. the missouri pork producers association and the missouri soybean association at this meeting these groups agreed to fight prop be in a coordinated effort with the dog breeding industry. 2 front groups emerge from the meeting one which would eventually be called missouri farmers care and the alliance for truth while these front groups seem to have sprung out of thin air it was actually a highly coordinated effort financed largely by corporate agriculture nearly 82 percent of total contributions to missouri farmers care originated from 3 corporate

agriculture trade groups and their respective political action committees. the missouri farm bureau the missouri pork producers and the missouri soybean association while the missouri farmers care campaign highlighted the positive role of missouri farmers in society the alliance for truth was focused on misrepresenting the clear language improper be the majority of the funding for the alliance for truth was funneled through missouri farmers care by the same agricultural trade groups the trade groups involved represent the interests of their member corporations in missouri these corporations include some of the largest agribusiness is in the united states month sento tyson cargill and smithfield foods while these trade groups use their vast financial resources opposing prop b. the corporations that ultimately provided the majority of the funding for the campaign remained silent simply put without the financial support of corporate

agriculture the puppy mills of missouri would not have had the ability to mount the alliance for truth or missouri farmers care which were largely responsible for the opposition to proposition b. alliance for truth that could be for anything you know but they can't call. you know friends group in favor of herding dogs so they have to come up with them other word to just totally distract you from the issue at hand it's not about the dogs it's about liberalism growth of government in rouge and into your life jury has a proud tradition of dog breeding for hunting home companionship and just best friends to enforce existing law against animal abuse but vote no to the big government liberalism or proposition paid for by a large for true mark paterson treasurer i mean they would be bending of the goals when the thing i mean alliance for truth is literally just a front so there has been a tremendous amount a shocking amount of organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of

care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities and most of that opposition quite frankly is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries these are groups that have nothing to do with dogs have to do is look at who's funding these fans to see who's really benefiting from them it's not the individual farmers and ranchers who you know may believe in some of the messaging that these groups are putting forward but it's really the major players in big guy with business who are benefiting and it's the industry why defense that's going on is not to protect the poor rancher i mean those guys are getting screwed i have to stink interest in the future of this farm and the future of this community the corporation their interest is making money their interest is not in the community their interest is not what is being left behind community interest. is 0. product be

very specific it was a bill that he addressed commercial breeding dogs not chickens not cows not pigs but that's what the opposition said that's the misinformation that they gave to people in the state of missouri. to scare people it was purely fear tactics on their part and it really ended up being at the expense of the thousands of dogs that suffer on a daily basis in the state of missouri every signature. on the ballot was signed by a missouri every vote that passed property and the law was passed by a missouri rose missourians here and this was not i doubt a state you know like you say no those are the same interests that you know they might have right in the money so we can get the word out that they didn't go to the polls obviously it was missouri residents who voted for this. waiver soon oh you know it was no other.

choice by 51 of the have for some became very close unfortunately because of this mass hysteria that was just being spread in the rural areas and there really do people really believe i mean i talked to one and while they they really believe this was going to close down the farms. thank you for joining us all i hear on missouri governor jay nixon will he find a bill changing proposition b. even though voters already approved it prop beast during the emotions of missourians on both sides of the issue but it was ultimately approved by 51 percent of voters the thought of altering it is an outrage and the law's supporters is going to only a couple of 100 lawmakers have come to treated their judgment for the judgment about a 1000000 voters nancy weller says she can't bear to see another dog pulled out of a puppy mill she and more than a 1000000 other missouri voters pushed for prop be the very bill wall makers are

now working to change the ink wasn't drawing on the formalizing of the final election results when state lawmakers in missouri said we're going to repeal probably several of them you think it's bills to repeal probably in its entirety a media. we have to go to the people you know we're not out to put these people out of business for sale we just want them to comply with good standards of here but instead they wanted to repeal the whole thing we threw it all it was just ridiculous 5 months after missouri voters approved a new puppy mill all the law is changing even changed the name of the lawn puppy mill cruelty back to the canine coolly prevention act and it does remove the breeding dogs limit the requirements of the living conditions of animals it is a constitutional process and when citizens decide they can do that the legislature should defer to the will of the people how do you run a government when the voters go to the polls they will and so be it is just ignored

there is an election that's the way things run in and i had to think what is best for these new rules you know can you swallow your pride and sit down and work out something earn going to take the high road and say no no we're not taking anything we want all i know is no you have to do what's best for the humans as well you got it. all the yen the euro the dollar they all refer to each other and they're all going deeper and deeper into debt so there's no basic there or there there's no so there's no way to measure the dead against something that is could be considered money remember j.p. morgan said only gold is money everything else is credit or debt ok so without that there is no way to measure that debt and there's no at the moment you know my my

view is that this is leading to a neo feudalism poor you have just a few private equity firms owning 98 percent of all the assets and everyone else is living as serfs on that we're getting back to the dark ages. ok in the special can somebody who can benefit says look at the minute a. book does get us in the gulf where. you thought the whole doping in russia things was over forget it. but your book would come about through a couple of pressure we have the last day of some of the models and that is. russian outlets eligibility for the international competition says its stake this includes events like the tokyo olympics and the fifa world cup in qatar if i am in the early as last show we can all just up here where you can many of them just as it was 4 years ago in moscow anti-doping plavix at the center of this scandal so

who tampered with the doping samples database and one does greegor you want to give have to do with it and you know i'm ugly she's stupid but is restartable zameen is not. about the little sportsmen that he is the push on the richest club you will ship by to expose me in the ocean touch a little to so the pollution and then there's nothing. my feeling with this world it's what now is we're so confused and fearful and the certain generation that's controlling all the politics around the world when that generation dies off and the children that are brought off the smooth freedom really are less materialistic don't really care about these things don't even more automobiles want to live by the side job want to ride a bicycle this movement it's global and it's going the world is going to has to go this direction and it's going to change.
