I'm all for shutting down anyone who is abusing/neglecting their animals, whether they have one or two hundred. I'm NOT in favor of shutting down a person who happens to breed dogs for a living, or seizing the animals from someone just because they have XX dogs. HSUS has done both. They are also very fond of swooping in and seizing dogs, holding them for the photo ops, then dumping them onto the local rescues and pounds and rushing off to collect a bunch of donations to help support "all our work in helping these poor poor animals!". In the meantime, the local rescues have a ton of animals with little to no support finiancially.

The very fact that HSUS is pushing to get the bans passed tells me the organization is in favor of outlawing pets.
Actually this lady who had the puppy mill kept them in rabbit cages, and some dogs has bad sores on thier feet. the mother dog to my lil one i have from there had to have a leg amputated cuz it had infection so bad that it was on the verge of gangreen... I do have to beg the differ... myself and the other rescues stepped foward to take the dogs in... there are limited shelters here in west virginia and half of them refused to accept any of the dogs... There was complaints about the ammonia and fecal smells as that was not a lightly populated area and you could smell the ammonia before ever seeing the place... some of the cages i emptied had no water bowls, no food, and was nasty... they only caught the some better looking cages on film as the others were not so viewer friendly... we had one female who had a litter of pups and all 6 puppies were dead and had been in the cage for a few days.. But i aint trying to start anything on here but people misjudge orgs sometimes... the hsus rescuers are no different than the people on animal cops...
