I won't make a comment on breeders here. If you have room in your home and your heart, I'm sure that they would appreciate you adopting one! I realize it's a long way to go to adopt a pet, but it's better than the alternative!

The ASPCA Field Investigations and Response (FIR) Team is in Rowan County, Kentucky, helping care for 118 small-breed dogs including Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Papillons, Min Pins and Poodles—several pregnant and some just a few weeks old—who were removed from horrifyingly filthy, cramped cages on October 6.

Before you ask, I would think seriously about it. However, my Condo complex only allows two animals per condo and I'm looking to adopt another cat.

Hey I'm from RC, did they say anything about adoption?

This is Rowan County, Kentucky! But there was something in the article about adoption. They said in a week the Prosecutor should be ready to let them go to adoption. If I remember right.

Sorry, it was 118 not 188 dogs in the title. I changed it, but the original title doesn't change.

I've never really understood the hate for breeders, although I haven't researched it. I want to get a dog in the next few months and would prefer a puppy because I want a dog that I can train and for him to grow with me and that's the only reason I looked at breeders.

Sure it is, but a breeder doesn't necessarily run a puppy mill.

I'll try one time:

Breeding

Dog breeding is the practice of mating selected specimens with the intent to maintain or produce specific qualities and characteristics.

Breeding relies on the science of genetics, so the breeder with a knowledge of canine genetics, health, and the intended use for the dogs attempts to breed suitable dogs.

Puppy Mill

the term ‘puppy mills’ or ‘puppy farms’ refers to businesses that mass produce puppies of different breeds

If you can't see the difference then you are a retard.

I started a thread on this a month ago and found that people are pretty confused about the whole issue while at the same time very very aggressive.

A good breeder is great I think as long as you do your research.

A puppy mill is a type of breeder, albeit not a reputable one, puppy mill puppies more often than not come with pedigree's and papers, but that isn't necessarily an indictment of a healthy or genetically stable breed.

However, not all breeders run puppy mills, as the more reputable ones are very specific about their breeding habits and genetic makeup, not to mention the living standards.

There are in fact "puppy mills" that are legally registered with the USDA. The only difference is that one is a mass production and one is a not. It's the difference of buying a purse from Walmart or a Coach purse from Dillards.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
