a q c in terms of its revenue model registers dogs and registers litters so it's involved in transactional relationship with those breeders and obviously the ones producing the most dogs are the largest still 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 or exposing them to extremes of even told you're going to lose revenue the american kennel club prides itself on being the only purebred registry in the united states with an ongoing routine kennel inspection program with a dedicated team of field inspectors casey says that it inspects kennels but they don't make any of those inspection records available. they say that they've got

rigorous standards but they really don't announce 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 of even if they're ticked up they 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'. big case is a group that says it's the dogs chap in but in practical terms is consistently leading the fight against efforts to establish humane dog breeding standards in the states of 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 turn your dog the only u.s. registry that matters is an a.d.c. dot org and or ever we advance that sort of legislation not 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 or ordinances to 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 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. or you can have

more than 50 breeding females in operation while the group well 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 almost petland are independently owned and operated the company's relationship with the a k c is a central focus in nearly every store. it's naaman usual to see a dog that's a k.c. registered in a pet store. a case 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 raised. and unfortunately had not taken that position.

for years. so i thought. 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 a there was poop and he just likes to cook 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 our 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 doc and then you're broke and so they're like here's a credit card. he will help you pay for the dog and he'll 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't help but fall in love you found that for your family and now maybe you are asking yourself where did this puppy come from let's take a look at the journey when puppies make you feel right at 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. 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 lamb 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 oh we know are popular as us why are you going to buy a dog. i know rescues that have puppies right now what do you look at 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 these animals can pick up in the actual mill 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 know most people have no idea that the mother and father are back some. where any factory farm type

a setting where it can be on 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 and holmes county were sold wholesale to d n 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 pets are happy for

our puppy mill puppies because a reputable breeder somebody who cares about their animals and wants to know where they're going and he 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 right there will breed or will sell a dog on the internet or sell a dog to a broker to sell to a pet store that's 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 you're almost guaranteed it's a puppy mill. this is largely a marketing sort of enterprise were people can register the murderers the pope used . and you get the halo effect that this isn't a k.c.

registered all door 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 a corner was a mess and as i said do with humaneness or the quality of the dog only means who the mother and the father 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 income for 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 for the expenses of putting them on so historically they have always subsidize 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 leaders and they oppose legislation when you go to improve the same it's a fair 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 6500 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 $190000.00 signatures from missouri residents were collected and the measure made it to the ballot in the 2010 election.

she manatee is on the edge of a precipice thanks to a continuing destruction of the natural world. you do seem laid out a lot of clues not so. much and from the idea of. the people who want to. let them everything you can. have been you. got over the war for 30 or the. only dealing in the muslim groups the same people book you. and stuff and shit the same stupid it was a ruse the. human activity has brought us to the brink of the world's

6th major extinction of it and the people in this film just come take it and. i'm not for decapitating anybody but i am for day capitalizing all the wall street bankers by shifting the center of gravity of money from the dollar and fear to bitcoin and that's perfectly within our purview when the our scope as a global citizens who wish justice justice truth free competition and hard money that's the only justice that matters that sustainable that's real that doesn't rely on politicians. prob b. 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 here paying for all this stuff and whether it your in pictures of puppy mills things like that after 2 weeks i just forgot all that literature with me was a copy of prop because it wasn't that people wanted to support both the bills or call the dogs this is this is terry that if i did other things it was a campaign of fear and misinformation fear that he 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 said well it's a slippery slope but they would 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 in what i call the line of dominoes out here in eliminating all of domesticated animals you know dogs cats then you go into 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 sow enough confusion so that people maintain the status quo and vote no phones no way to defend happy mouth so instead they want to change the subject to all these other animals that people. response 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 it's about 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 right this proposition with about dogs but an issue wants you to think it's about all these other animals because that will scare the hell that. 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 for we settle we put on a piece of paper what our dream of a farm was. after a long search i was showed this and 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 more than. the farmland foods facility in milan missouri is owned by smithfield foods the largest hog 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 down there 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 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 were caught in a trespass it just trespass 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 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 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'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. to 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. missouri farmers care which were largely responsible for the opposition to proposition b.

alliance for truth i 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 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 during 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 liberal it's on proposition 8 for by and large for true mark paterson treasurer i mean they would be fending of goes with the thing i mean a license 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 industry these are groups

that have nothing to do with dogs have to do is look at who is 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 ai 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. 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 beyond the bell was signed by a missouri every vote that passed property and the law was passed by a missouri rosie 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 the sir residents who voted for this. waiver soon oh you know it's no other. choice but to do one of the have became very close fortunately because of those

mass hysteria that was just being spread in the rural areas and they really do people really believe i mean i talked to him one on one that they really believed this was going to close down the farms it had me take you for joining us all i hear on a dairy governor jay nixon will he find a bill changing proposition b. even though voters already approved it probably be stirred 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 wall supporters going to only a couple of 100 lawmakers have come to treated their judgment or their 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 well still. lawmakers in missouri were going to repeal several of

them. bills. in its entirety. of the people you know we're not out to put these people out of business we just want them to comply with good standards here but instead they wanted. me through it all it was just 5 months after missouri voters approved a new puppy mill all the law is changing they even changed the name of the long. act to the canine coolly prevention act and it does remove the breeding dog limit the requirement for 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 it's just ignore the results and that's the way things run and i have to think what is best for these you know as you know we swallow our pride and sit down and work out something or i'm going to take the high road in and say no to taking everything we want to know

you have to do what's best for the. lead.

is your media a reflection of reality. i am in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. directly. to what is truly what is great. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows.
