My neighbor is running a puppy mill, how can I stop it?

Pennsylvania is one of the largest puppy mill states - complain to the SPCA, etc, but you are probably not going to get much response unfortunately.More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_mill

call the cops. they are suppose to report these incidents to the right athorities. then i would get pics and go to the vets office and show them. someone has to get involved. but dont give up. i wish i was there i would help you. those poor animals. is there a city hall or something like that in your town. show them pics. keep talking to people. just think those poor animals are depending on you to be their voice. they need you so dont quit you will be so happy when you didnt and something get done. your vet should have some kind of phone number you can get some kind of help. if you have to get the t.v. station involved then it will be reported to someone believe me. where is your darn mayor at. i wish i was there to help you i wouldnt give up. please please dont give up and quit. let me know how it turns out. you can email me. i really am concerned and want to help if i can somehow. but i am in texas. let me know.

Something smells bad in this story. The duty of the SPCA.....HUMANE SOCIETY.........or ASPCA is to check out any and all complaints...If they won't ........do this.........Get a camera with telescope lens (if needed) take pictures.........Send e-mails if possible to anyone and everyone with cc to yourself. That way they are dated, or, write letters and make copies.Then use your MUSCLE...........Take all of that information to the news media..............These people just hate it when they have to be on TV for being incompetent.Remember to pity the poor animals..........It's not their fault they stink or live in poop.God gave man dominion over the animals. They are our responsibility.Good Luck to you and the animals, Merry Christmas

I would be looking to go over the head of the local "animal warden" if he is obviously not doing anything about this. I would also be attempting to get photos and videos on a regular basis to prove what it looks like there. If local law enforcement isn't doing the job, then send the videos and photos in to your local tv station and maybe they will bring attention to this and someone will finally put this guy out of business instead.

How to stop a puppy millActions anyone can take--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Get your facts straight. Know at least approximately how many breeds are raised at the facility, whether or not it is clean, if the dogs run together or are housed separately, whether the dogs have regular preventative and necessary veterinary care, and whether the operators sell to pet stores, brokers, laboratories, or the general public. If possible, get a friend to accompany you to the suspect business for your safety and to corroborate your observations Make notes about the conditions when you return home and be prepared to send those notes to the appropriate officials. Be prepared for bureaucracy to grind slowly and to restate your observations several times. Observations, not heartache, not hysteria, not an emotional outburst. Contact your local humane society and health departments and describe the conditions you have seen as specifically and unemotionally as possible. The humane society can act in cases of abuse and neglect (which in Ohio means lack of food and shelter) and the health department can deal with threats to public health from fecal contamination, dead dog bodies, etc. Contact: Dr. Valencia D. ColletonUS Department of Agriculture,2568-A Riva Road, Suite 302 Annapolis, MD 21401- 7400 (410) 962-7463to find out whether or not the breeder has a Class A or Class B license (a necessity if the facility sells to pet stores, brokers, or laboratories and makes more than $500 annually from such sales). The USDA will be interested if the breeder has a license and is not following the guidelines for housing, sanitation, and veterinary care or if the breeder is not licensed and grosses more than $500 per year selling puppies wholesale. If these conditions are not met, USDA can by law do nothing. No matter how much your sensibilities are offended by the plight of overcrowded, undernourished neglected puppies, they can do nothing. Contact: American Kennel Club Inspections and Investigations Department51 Madison AvenueNew York, NY 10010(212) 696-8208If the breeds are AKC recognized and the breeder advertises AKC registered puppies. AKC will be interested if dogs are constantly running together, especially if dogs of different breeds are housed together and the business also sells mixed breed puppies, for this may indicate that record keeping regulations are being violated. AKC is a purebred registry and can deal only with record keeping and identification transgressions; they can suspend violators from further registration of purebred dogs, but they cannot prevent them from breeding and selling puppies. [More on the AKC]If the dogs are UKC registered, contact: United Kennel Club100 East Kilgore RoadKalamazoo, MI 49001-5598(616) 343-9020 Popular UKC breeds that are not also AKC recognized are American Pit Bull Terrier, and Jack Russell Terrier. Raising and selling dogs is a business for profit for many people. There should be no stigma attached to earning money by selling dogs; problems arise when the dogs are poorly bred, housed in poor conditions, denied proper medical care, are sick when sold, or are advertised falsely

take it to the police and the state. have petitions signed by neigbors, friends, family to get this stopped!

go to his house at night and let them all free
