hated by one story that other people would be. the protests started black friday of 2011 and the reason we do about it is because that's when people start buying christmas copies start placing orders for christmas copies and we wanted that to stop so when they 1st started we were there open to close every single saturday that was a very very long and cold winter. we always protest peacefully we always hold our signs are we always have our back up i keep a folder with the information i have handouts for people that are very factual and we don't tell any lines that's the biggest thing. my few friends and i started going around to the mills in iowa and experiencing it firsthand so our local store is diabetics pet shop and we went in there and we saw

the puppies and asked them and our 1st they were like from a breeder and they were very open about it and so we asked if we could contact them and so they gave us their card and we made an appointment and we went and we visited the mill and it was it was awful. and i are in general we have the negative temperatures and the very very high temperature is that the dogs are forced to live in that 247 and so our protests are every single week and no matter what the weather today we are very thankful to be positive temperatures when i left my house this morning with the wind chill it was negative forty's this is cold it is on our coldest it is average when 00 but usually air protagonists are between 2 people and 10 people every lead just depends on the weather and what we all have going on it is a priority of everybody we have several people travel from out of town to get here 2 years. it's

a long time to think that we've been in front of here this is where we hang our young people hang out in front of that service on saturday. we'll be out here for 2 hours the dogs are going to be out here the top. dogs in the shelter and. there are a. lot of grass with different flavors. and i think it's going to. become more aware of what what a puppy mill means and what the dogs in the store actually do or i like to say that it's a ripple effect if i educate one person who knows how many other people they will tower and so if we can all educate our little corner of the earth that someday we will not have these problems because once the public really knows what's going on they will not support any. matter how upset i am i know the dogs have it and. so i never even consider giving up it's never been an option and i will use my

voice because we don't. keep doing it and tell there are no more money. until recent changes the only federal regulations governing commercial dog breeding date back to the passing of the animal welfare act or a w. a in 1966 the a.w.a. defined a commercial dog breeder as one who maintains 4 or more breeding female dogs and sells the offspring into wholesale channels any breeder or retail pet store engaged in the direct sale of dogs to the public was exempt from the a.w.a. . let me clarify that a little bit the animal welfare act only requires that we do annual inspections on research facilities so there is no requirement for the other entities that we regulate. but every facility that's either licensed or registered with us is

assigned a minimum inspection frequency we have a risk based inspection system so based on the risk of finding noncompliance risk of animal welfare concerns the facility may be assigned a frequency of once a year twice a year 3 times a year whatever that system a science to it the a.w.a. does not require yearly vet check ups access to exercise socialization or protections against extreme heat or cold and allows both wire flooring and stackable cages. for the animal welfare act is passed and it requires humane standards of care for dogs raised in commercial breeding establishment and they require as of the department of agriculture go out and inspect these facilities and make sure that they're complying with these regulations i always refer to the regulations that we have today with the u.s.d.a. as survival standards if you comply with the sooners of here the dog will probably but is that humane no right now and u.s.d.a.

regulations a dog requires 6 inches of living space bigger than the dog itself and you're talking about a dog is living in that space for its entire. another part of agriculture really is there a promote american agriculture it's not an impartial sort of entity that is neutral you overseeing the laws and for years u.s.d.a. was allied with the very interests who started raising puppies and started operating puppy mills never in the state of ohio has any breeder been forced out of this. longstanding violations of the animal welfare act it's to no longer be. license it's because they chose not to renew their license not because inspectors came out to actually revoke that license i never heard of a regulator coming to pennsylvania no one was getting shut down the feeling of the

industry was very we don't have to worry about it so frankly their doors were pretty open the so often if a breeder said violation of the animal welfare act they get a slap on the hands and when they get the slap on the hands. off and it is months following the violation and they're given an opportunity to correct the violation and sometimes it may be days. before that inspector returns to ensure that the violations been corrected on it's very rare that they will be given a fine that is truly impactful to their bottom line so they factor it in as a cost of doing business in forstmann of the animal welfare it has been horrendous in and for many many years in fact just 2010 year old office of inspector general issued a very doable report on how terrible their inspections were they documented inspectors walking by dogs and just leaving of there you know that writing up these people and putting them out of business to spend really really bad the inspector general found

several major problems with them foresman of the a.w.a. including finding a massive loophole that allowed breeders to sell puppies over the internet without a license and delaying confiscation of suffering animals to give violators a final opportunity to take corrective action before confiscation can occur even in extreme cases where animals are dying it is called the animal welfare you know it's not the the kennel really well for it it's the animals and yes even some of the good inspectors were there inspectors in made sure that the building was clean and they had good shelter from the extreme temperatures but the dogs research the photo a lot of the focus of that. was on inconsistency in some of the things our inspectors were citing and the length of time it took to get to enforcement so we put. some an intensified training in place for our inspectors some

a different oversight or inspection process and work with our branch to find different ways to expedite the enforcement process since and we've also worked on some nontraditional or non regulatory solutions if we can help somebody come into compliance without having to resort to enforcement action and get those animals in a better welfare situation quicker that's what we're going to do. since being elected in 1907 senator dick durbin has introduced legislation in every session that would dramatically improve the lives of dogs in commercial kennels and would close the internet loophole. the way people sold dogs changed as a changed it was no longer going to the individual breeder oh longer just going to the store now was online sales and they were exempt from the kind of regular inspection that would protect the puppies and their mothers so we had to make sure that our bill really filled the scale up and provided the protection for those

online sales and the pups that were part of it even in the midst of the hyper partisanship of the u.s. senate on the issue of puppy mills senator durbin found willing partners on the republican side of the aisle my 1st co-sponsor was rick santorum one of the most conservative republicans from pennsylvania he was on this bill with me and then after he left the senate i had senator vitter from louisiana another very conservative senator so it turns out that when it comes to humane treatment of animals and dogs in particular this is very bipartisan if a bill like pops went to the floor of the house of the senate it would be an overwhelming yea vote for the measure it would be $9095.00 yes votes in the senate you know be 400 or so yes votes in the house out of 435 the problem is on an a well for legislation the congress is that many of the bills get track to the house

and senate committees on agriculture and those committees are populated by the most rural lawmakers aligned with the biggest agribusiness interests in the united states. i. am the was. the. you. know you know.

and i mean i'm on the flip side is to my town way or both to the food. bank itself mukti about. closing this we've got to talk so hard not to think of the mother disappeared this woman the work of 8 hours and i don't miss the mark and i think. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. through and you can feel the fee on this bill frist what it called the ability to put the helmet on the. what i think is this is the funds that is something. you. throughout the years members of the senate agriculture

committee have received enormous campaign contributions from agriculture giant including months sento tyson smithfield and cargill the sides these direct contributions each of these corporations spent millions of dollars each year lobbying congress. seemingly afraid of how a theoretical slippery slope protecting dogs in puppy mills could hurt their operations corporate agriculture sided with commercial breeders they get loads of campaign cash from these agribusiness groups because that's the funnel for the legislation that these agribusiness groups want who doesn't want to protect docs and yet somehow interest to find a way to twisted around and make you scared into voting against those commonsense positive public policy is they typically oppose any animal welfare legislation because they think they're going to be next and they think that if you have a society but it is incrementally building animal welfare standards it's eventually

going to lead society to examine their thought even with strong public support for common sense changes to the animal welfare act none of these bills were allowed out of committee recognizing the original intentions of the a.w.a. and the advent of commercial breeders selling exclusively over the internet the u.s.d.a. moved on their own to update the regulations. so the administration seeing the enormous number of senators and u.s. representatives backing a legislation and getting hundreds of thousands of columns from h.s. u.s. members and other animal welfare advocates they finally passed a rule to bring these internet sellers under the regulatory authority of us to before the change in regulations nearly $7500.00 facilities across the united states were subject to inspection besides commercial breeding facilities this

includes research facilities zoos circuses marine parks transport vehicles television and film productions involving animals state fairs camel right petting zoos elephant right and traveling and or roadside zooms. in 201-3115 u.s.d.a. inspectors conducted between 101-1000 inspections on these various facilities approximately 3000 of those inspections were conducted on commercial dog breeding facilities since this change in policy will now also require commercial breeders selling on the internet to obtain a license the u.s.d.a. estimates that there will be up to $4600.00 additional new facilities under their inspection umbrella based on their own projections a total of between 101-2000 facilities will now fall under the inspection provisions of the animal welfare act this change will increase the workload of

their 115 inspectors buying nearly a 3rd. the u.s.d.a. has no plans to add additional inspectors i think since the real big came into effect the number one way that we've gotten contacts are people's names as people suffer porting we do we have looked at breeder registries to get i did get numbers we watch the internet a look at. marketing promotional things from folks that sell over the internet so this is a good move for dogs that it's now part of the animal welfare act but again our question's going to be how are you going to enforce that because you're having a very difficult time in forcing a law that was already in place and now we've just added a new dimension to it and we've got 115 people. stationed across the country to do our inspections. their workload is prioritized by risk based system so we get them

to those places where they're most needed and at this point in time we do feel like we have resources to be successful at doing this you know i worry about that what time are coming back and spending appropriations in every direction and they say they have enough to get started but i want to keep an eye on it even documented u.s.t.a. inspectors who had their old puppy mill themselves documented supervisors of inspectors who were out working as roofers during the day and they're supposed to be out check you know their inspectors and inforced was absolutely atrocious and has bad since the inception of the act and it was just recently in the last couple years that u.s.d.a. has really turned around and started to enforce the laws but on the books since 1007 we're seeing a closing of this loophole that a lot of internet sellers and we just have to continue now with our effort to educate the public that the best place to get an old as a shelter or rescue group or

a responsible breeder who is really treating the mother dog like a pet and not a breed. machine. usually have a number so he actually has a tattoo on his ear as he's optioned and that my word is not that my business name once we got him he was shaking a lot because he didn't know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired cage. we don't need a crate with him he will just stir freaking out and he won't let us pretty much anywhere near. as. be male. let me ask me a little and i don't know now camarines i'll be known as i guess that's me at least yeah i've been a little out there. but i swear he's really really cute. he's really cute in the

your body your skull and these 2 in here came from a hoarding situation philadelphia we took in 39 little blue joie lock box that makes this. guy. our our. dog was probably about 9 months old even months old and the dog was so full of joy and just wanted to get out run around and the dog was down and help those playing in and it was in a rabbit hutch standing on wire but it desperately wanted to get out and i can we take this dog no i just got the dog we're breeding the dog i'm just starting to breed or so this was years ago and then every time we went back i would see this dog and the dog was getting older and older and he didn't want to anymore because she wasn't a good breeder and i was looking at her and her eyes were dead and within i would say about a month beast she started to come around and i could see the dog that i remembered from before and it's

a shame that she had to go through all that you know her entire life just consisted of this misery. and we need people to start realizing that these poppy mills exist these puppies and pet stores come from puppy mill us whether you believe it or not that's where your dog came from a puppy. thing that he's really crossed because they're not rescuing or saving a puppy by by buying their dog what they're doing is they're sentencing the mother of that dog to a lifetime of misery you know you know the general public doesn't stop buying poppies i stock on a change it's just it's not going to stop i'll be down as the day i die and i owe a lot i don't know if i have to spend my days to save dogs we americans are

treating dogs like members of the family we all love them in their beds to sleep at night we spend money on them we give them life saving better a care a society that values dogs is not a design it's going to tolerate this abuse of dogs on puppy mills. until the public is willing to forgo the purchase of a puppy on the internet or in pet stores no regulation will end the suffering of thousands of breeding dogs trapped in commercial mills across the united states and humane societies rescues impounds millions of dogs are awaiting the chance to join a family if the general public decides to adopt and not shop the factory farming of puppies would and. the power really does lie in the people what we have as a movement is a 1000000 households who care about animals and who are willing to pick up the phone and being able to tap that power that is what should make any puppy miller

terrified the other side has a much more difficult test they've got to convince people that keeping dogs in confinement for their entire laws. denying the vector exposing them to obtrude of even gold is an acceptable way to treat go these are elected officials and they work for us and we're going to make sure they work for us we know we're up against a lot of corruption and consumer fraud and animal cruelty but i think it's every time you educate that one person that could be the next person who makes a difference at the state house or at the local level or even at the federal level such a case may gone. home i do think it's really important people if they see something going on especially i mean i mean just as it should bring it to people's attention and people to know what's going on out there and. they just do otherwise change is not possible. 20 years from now we'd all like to look back and we know what's going

to happen we're going to what back and we're going to say thank god we don't have anymore i can't believe the way we allow people to treat these dogs.

god. god . god.
