Protect the Pups! Stop Puppy Mills and "Backyard Breeders"!

Dear Animal Lovers:

It was recently brought to my attention that a certain puppy mill, who advertises the sale of “catch” dogs, is promoting their business on "Facebook".  Well some individuals have driven past the home of these dog breeders and what they found was shocking.  There are pit bulls tied down with ½ x 4’ boat anchor chains out front. When asked why such heavy chains were needed; the answer was so that the dog was forced to stay put.  Rochelle Hoven, later made the comment on her website,  "I LAUGHED AT FIRST AT ALL THE PHONE CALLS FROM THESE IGNORANT ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS MY DOGS LOVE THEIR CHAINS & I JUST WISH ONE OF THEM HAD THE BALLS TO COME ON MY HILL I AM SICK OF THEM HARRASSING US ESPECIALLY ME BUT .... YOU WOULD THINK THEY HAD ANIMALS TO RESCUE BUT NO THEY WANT TO POST FAKE PICS THAT ARENT MINE ON THE ALA ASPCA & PRANK CALL ALL DAY ... ALL THE TIME THEY WASTE ON OUR PLACE THEY COULD BE VOLUNTEERING SOMEWHERE???"

 An Animal Activist contacted this group and this is what the woman who sells these dogs stated, “If folks don’t leave me alone we’ll leave and these M***** F***ing dogs can rot on these chains!” Then she screamed something to the affect “this is none of our business!” Please take a look at this site.  The rest of the pups are hidden behind a privacy fence but the following site shows you pictures of the pups they are selling on chains:

Pit Bulls are sweet animals who deserve loving homes, not to be chained and neglected. They should not be used as "catch" dogs.  "A Catch dog is a specially trained dog that is used to catch large animals in hunting, working livestock, and baiting.[1][2] The use of catch dogs has been condemned by groups like PETA, who consider it cruel and inhumane.[6]"   The DogHouse on Facebook boasts of having pits for sale for the purpose of doing this. This needs to stop!  Please help stop this!

Many of us involved in spreading the word about this puppy mill and animal cruelty have been threatened by the authorities with harassment for posting phone numbers and addresses of the animal abusers.  For the record- the owner's of the 'The Dog House' posted their information on "Facebook" first.
