My name is Kimberly Thomas, and I am the owner of Kismutt Rescue. James McClean [at Toronto Animal Services South] is a good friend of mine, and I send him many puppy mill dogs. He is a great guy!
I wanted to send you a couple of more videos of the latest mill dogs I sent to James. This video shows the dogs being shaved here at Kismutt Rescue. The matting is horrendous and you can clearly see in the video the hundreds of fleas on the skin as the matts are being shaved away. I have been rescuing these puppy mill dogs for 11 years now. I have been trying to no avail to shut them down. I work with the townships, the OSPCA, and it is like banging your head against the wall. I have over 40 Amish puppy mills that surrender their dogs to me that they are going to shoot.
What is important for the public to know, is that puppy mills are not illegal. Each year they are inspected by the Township and the OSPCA and their kennel licenses are renewed. These poodles are from a licensed puppy mill and his license was just renewed again. All his dogs look like this (all 110 breeding adults). Every Amish mill dog looks like this but yet they pass their inspections. It is pathetic. I would be so thrilled if you could post this video on your blog and explain to your followers what is happening.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God Bless.
Done.
In the video below is one of the pups from yesterday's post after it's been rescued.
It might be difficult to see in the video (viewing full screen in Youtube helps) but those black specks against the bare skin are all fleas.
breaks my heart.... and so our government, the OSPCA (big SURPRISE), local authorities - are all complicit in the ongoing abuse... disgusting
ReplyDeleteThe neighbour out walking with her dog and found a pomeranian in a sealed cardboard box (air holes were in it).
ReplyDeleteThank God the wee thing is in a good home now with a companion. Disposing of the evidence?
Pathetic. The Ontario government sees these animals as "livestock" as only need to be given the basic necessities such as food and water. Legally, the animals don't need to be given anything else. I'm embarrassed for our government.
ReplyDeleteThe reason this is legal is tied into our agricultural system. We treat our food animals with equal "care". Or not. Who cares? Justananimal. Thank you to the rescuers. Good luck to them all.
ReplyDeleteLegal loopholes. grrrrrrrrr.
