it's seemed wrong. to me. to shape out just because get educated and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. changed lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain believe that their prescription is working for them and the remedy he said to. price that they pay was their dependency and addiction to opiates the long term use there really

isn't scientifically just. a study actually suggests that. the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. rap rap. rap rap rap rap rap. rap rap rap rap. rap. ache you see in terms of its revenue model registers dogs and registers litters so it's involved in a transactional relationship with those breeders and obviously the ones producing the most dogs are the largest scale breeders so why is it going to crack down on

those large scale breeders and sacrifice the revenue from a rigorous program that stops people from confining animals denying them vet care exposé them to extremes of even cold if they're going to lose revenue the american kennel club prides itself on being the only pure bred registry in the united states with an ongoing routine kennel inspection program with a dedicated team of field inspectors casey says that inspects kennels but they don't mate. in any of those inspection records available. they say that they've got rigorous standards but they really don't know what those standards are real terms they say that they kick people out we don't really have a comprehensive record of when they're doing that or what the consequences are even if they're ticked albay can still keep breathing and they can still keep operating so what's the value of their inspections program there in force and efforts for all

we know are completely meaningless we don't know what they even inspect for when they go into 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. the accused is a group that says it's the dog's champion but in practical terms is consistently leading the fight against efforts to establish a main dog breeding standards in the states at the federal level. over $5010.00

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 in a.g.c. dot org and we're ever we advance that sort of legislation not radical not far reaching just basic fundamental anything that a head on or would think is a minimal standard of care the casey opposes that since 2009 the 8. they see as opposed over $100.00 different bills regulations or ordinances 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 dogs 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 bring them in every single 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 report 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 casey 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 opposition. for years. so i thought. it was illegal and i think it's not a disease. 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 it was and there was poop and he just likes a and i went back to visit and visit and visit well there it is very pushy if you've ever been in a paddling and they want you to buy the dog no matter what and you know they give you all these options i would visit the dog it just started me looking through the cage and i code you want to go to a puppy play room and then they'd give you a toy to get to play with this dog and you started falling in love with the dogs 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 come from let's take a look at the journey that when puppies make the right our store. 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. 2009 the humane society of the united states released an exhaustive investigation into shipment 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. i come from large scale commercial kennels i work at a gym right next to a pet lair 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 beef do me a favor before you go in there you know google puppy mills we know are popular shows us why are you going to buy a dog. i 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 afford their medical care they have a birth defect or some chronic problem or worms or parvo or anything that at least animals can pick up 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 a jumping out animal 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 d n g 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. and g. only one reason would seemingly compel the owner of d.m.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 separate these are not poppies 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 on the internet or sell a dog to a broker to sell to

a pet store that's not going to happen a good breeder or want to know who you are you always have to go and see even 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 you're almost guaranteed it's a puppy mill. this is largely a marketing sort of enterprise were people can register the litter as the puppies and you get the halo effect that this isn't it to see registered dollars or litter when in reality it has no practical meaning when it comes to animal welfare they see papers mean absolutely nothing you know and when you come push comes to shove a hasty when they're backed into o'connor 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 it's 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 the case they for years and years and years in fact even to this day registration ain't home 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 meet 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 you know of their own money and that's what i always. when people go to the westminister dog of show go in there knowing that this show has been subsidized by the quality of those because the a c. will not stop papering dogs from commercial dog looters and they oppose legislation when you go through the centers of. 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 mills national and state animal welfare organizations focused on a ballot initiative that would later become known as proposition be over 190000 signatures from missouri residents were collected and the measure made it to the ballot in the 2010 election. join me every 1st week on the all excitement and i was speaking to get a feel of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you there.

south america has its own planet cheney on us going to continue with us but that's them. but you. know what nominated on that it is a. bunch although there are some. just a little earlier i'm still. me about that show that was there a lot because lots of. islam will push it they have coverage for me but center for you but it's not just on cuts the last thing you will not on one level. so there was too stubborn it takes place here. the world is driven by.

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. probably was something that was in the works for many years because missouri is the puppy mill capital of the united states probably simply sought to impose humane breeding standards and limits on the size of the puppy mills you know what i started out campaigning for all this stuff and literature and pictures of puppy mills things i bet after 2 weeks i just forgot all that literature was a copy of prop because it wasn't that people wanted to support both the bills are cold and the dogs says this is jerry that if i did other things it was

a campaign of fear and misinformation fear. be was going to mysteriously morph into a ban on all 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 said well it's a slippery slope but there was still continue to go in a 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 pigs it india with chickens it is. although any other species the language was explicit and anyone who was 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 you know women ating all of domesticated animals you know dogs cats i mean you want the livestock arena forces and so forth and in

a bell of measure campaign you don't necessarily need to convince people that your position is right you just need to sow enough confusion so that people maintain the status quo and vote no clothes no way to defend 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. emotional trigger 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 this proposition was about dogs but 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 offices here in jefferson city missouri stay with us it's half time on average. interestingly my wife and i had made a plan we settle we put on a piece of paper what our dream of a farm. after a long search i was showed this. so that's why we here. we lived our lives here. pretty much you're noll 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 vitally important thing in my life. they were going to raise hogs ok and at the time i did not know how many hogs they were going to raise and it turned

out that now they raise $80000.00 hogs and 3 males more than males. the farmland foods 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 the green hills there isn't a single pig down there that ever sees the valley ok 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 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 and in golf's you and it's there in the media 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. plain about the daily waste and odors emitting from smithfield foods that 3 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 my sudden this operation this organization backed out and it supposedly is

a farm organization these supposedly supports individual independent farmers and all of a sudden they were siding with the industry and they're 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 hecker 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 full. based 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 months sent to 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. and lions for truth that could be for anything you know but they can't call themselves you know friend group in favor of herding dogs so they have to come up with them their 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 an intern your life 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 of proposition paid for by

a life for truth mark paterson treasurer i mean they would be fending of those 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 look at who's funding these fans. who's really benefiting from them it's not the individual. 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 for the poor rancher i mean those guys are getting screwed i have to stink interests in the future of this farm and the future of this community. 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. crop be very specific it was a bill that he dressed commercial breeding dogs not chickens not cows not picks 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 that put be on the ballot was signed by missouri roads every boat that passed property in the wall was passed by the missouri rosa 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 morning mary sue's so when we 1st heard oh you know i was out there we were very very. bored by 51 of the here for so we came very close fortunately because of those mass hysteria that was just being spread in the rural areas and there really do people really believe i mean i talked to one on one day they really believe this was going to. goes down the farms. thank you for joining us all i. will find a bill changing proposition b. even though voters already approved it prop b.s. 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 a loss supporters essentially 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 lawmakers are now working to change the ink wasn't drawing on the formalizing of the final election results when state lawmakers in missouri were going to repeal several of them you think it's bills to review in its entirety immediately go to the people you know we're not out to put these people out of business for say we just want them to comply with good standards here but instead they wanted to repeal the whole thing they threw it all out it was just 5 months after missouri voters approved a tough new puppy mill law the law is changing they even changed the name of the long cruelty back to the canine coolie prevention act and it does remove the breeding dog limit and some 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 vote when something is just ignore the result the action that's the way things run and then i had to think what is best for these you know as you know to swallow your pride and sit down and work out something earn going to take the high road and and say no no we're taking everything we want to know you have to do what's best for the year as far you got into this. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in healing this is with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed

a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pen this than him and what happens in court. be. shocked shocked as far as society we feel. we don't know she'll share this truth on. the end of this trial unfortunately you. will still not know.
