The Humane Society of the United States’ Animal Rescue Team and other area organizations were called in by Stokes County Animal Control to assist in the rescue of more than 150 dogs from a Danbury, N. C. property. The Stokes County Animal Control served a search and seizure warrant on the property Tuesday morning and found that the dogs were being housed in unsanitary conditions and lacked proper socialization and medical care. The owner has surrendered all of the dogs to the Stokes County Animal Control.

“Many of these dogs were living in filthy cages so small that they could barely stand up and turn around. The conditions these dogs were housed in demonstrates why North Carolina must pass legislation regulating these breeders,” said Kim Alboum, North Carolina state director for The Humane Society of the United States. “Large-scale breeders in our state currently face no regulations or routine inspections. These lax laws have made North Carolina a safe-haven for inhumane puppy mills like this one.”

Animals on the property were reportedly living in deplorable conditions -- the majority of them suffering from some type of ear, nose or dental infection, officials with the U.S. Humane Society said. One official described the scene as "heartbreaking" and said it may be the worst they've seen in North Carolina.

"I'm very ashamed that this happened in my county and I'm appalled at where the dogs were being kept," Animal Control Officer Phil Handy said.

150 dogs! English Bulldogs, the list goes on and on. If you ever wanted a dog, call the Charlotte Humane Society and find out how to adopt one. They won't be ready for several days to a week while they all get checked out by vets.

This is why I won't by a puppy from a breeder!

Q#$%%$^#$%^ Puppy Mill Breeders! :mad:

I hope they put those responsible in a small gage!

Maybe leave me alone with them and allow me a cattle prod!

There's no problem buying from a breeder, but you have to do your homework. I bought my Doberman from a breeder, went his house to see the parents, living conditions, etc.

This is terrible, might be time for me to get another dog.

When you consider all of the child abusers and rapists, elderly abusers and people who con them out of their life savings, animal abusers and people who do schit like this, I swear the world would be a better place without about half the humans currently in it. They add nothing and they do awful things because they don't give two rips about anyone but themselves.

As long as people demand pure bred dogs as pets, instead of giving a dog at the kennel a chance, this will never go away.

Supply and demand. The same reason why they will never win the war on drugs either.

not everyone wants to take a chance on a mutt. Maybe if people took care of their dogs there wouldn't be a bunch of dumb mutts running around town. it's ridiculous how many "responsible" adults don't spay/nueter their dogs and then abandon them.

i don't want to take a chance on a pure/in-bred.

People who are child abusers/rapists etc often start out as animal abusers. They should all be shot.
