News! Puppy Mill Dogs Released! 5/1
LCA Investigation into Los
Angeles Puppy Mills Results in Surrender of Dogs
GREAT NEWS! LCA's
investigation into World Kennels, a puppy mill located in Los
Angeles County, results in surrender of dogs. At this time, over
60 dogs have been released, more are expected. The LCA staff is
out in Lancaster, CA - more detailed
information to come!
Pictured is one of the dogs released from World Kennels. Posh
Puppy, the store that LCA & Best Friends Animal Society protests
every Saturday, is a client of World Kennels!
The LCA investigation into Southern California puppy mills,
reported by CBS reporter David Goldstein, resulted in a
re-inspection of World Kennels in Lancaster. 402 dogs were found
there living in inhumane conditions. The County has ordered
World Kennels to reduce the number of dogs to 100 or else be
shutdown. LCA is out in the field to ensure the safety of all
the animals.
LCA has uncovered that LA County is riddled with puppy mills,
like World Kennels. These mills are supplying pet stores, such
as
Posh Puppy, located in Beverly Hill and Tarzana.
LCA, Best Friends, and many dedicated animal lovers have been
protesting Posh Puppy pet stores for over three months exposing
the pet store-puppy mill connection and spreading the message,
"ADOPT-DON'T SHOP!" World Kennels is one of Posh Puppy's primary
suppliers, providing puppies that sell for up to $4000.
More detailed World Kennels information
to come.
