Today is not a proud day for Oklahoma. The lowest common denominator has again proved to be the best that we can do. Our state representatives have demonstrated once more that a cause NOT rooted in religion or bigotry provides very little to their power base and therefore is at best a mere trading token. The story reads: 'I'll trade two Fishing License amendments if you will kill the Puppy Mill Bill behind my back.' These people are not leaders, but followers of the worst kind. They know how it all works, religion gets them votes, bigotry gets them votes, compassion for defenseless animals doesn't get them squat!

I was thoroughly disappointed and disgusted with the defeat of HB 1332. Those of us who see the results of puppy mills through the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs who have physical, mental, and emotional damage know first hand what a hellish existance those dogs must endure.
Perhaps our elected officials (and the people who elect them) need to spend a week or two at a puppy mill and see if they have a change of heart.Posted 9 months ago # -
I purchased a bullmastiff puppy from a couple in Sapulpa Oklahoma. We were told the dam was 2 yrs old, since most don't mature until 2 yr old we questioned the reason she was bred so young, the owner stated she was just under 2 yrs old at breeding. We took a pup and 3 months later discovered the pup had demodectic mange, a herditary mange, it is recommended that dogs with this disease be spayed/neutered to prevent infection to future pups. I contacted the breeder and told her of the diagnosis and she admitted that she was aware of it as she had been treating the littermates at the time of our purchase yet failed to disclose the information. I contacted AKC after the breeder refused to accept responsibility and learned that the dam of the pup turned 1 yr old 2 weeks AFTER the puppies were born, meaning the mother was bred at 10 months and not 2 yrs old as we were told. The breeder continues to advertise breeding and stud service with the diseased dogs that sired our pup. HOW CAN WE STOP THIS BREEDER? She obviously has no concern for the animals welfare, just $$$$
