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!

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.

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

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
