HSUS/HSI hits another puppy mill. This one in Canada.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) transported approximately 50 dogs and cats rescued from a Canadian puppy mill to its Gaithersburg, Md., office Oct. 2.

This was the first puppy mill bust conducted in coordination with Humane Society International, the global arm of The HSUS.

"This bust is just the beginning of our work to eradicate puppy mills on an international level," said Stephanie Shain, director of the Stop Puppy Mills Campaign.

"The cruelty of puppy mills knows no boundaries and we will not turn away from dogs in need simply because they are stuck in a mill outside U.S. borders."

Members of The HSUS and HSI Animal Rescue teams were able to save 110 dogs, seven cats and one rabbit from this overrun breeding facility just outside Montreal. The dogs, ranging from Boston Terriers to French Mastiffs, were living in piles of their own feces, and many were suffering from obvious medical conditions such as open sores and severe skin conditions. Skeletal remains were found still locked in cages inside the home, and a pile of burned animal remains was found in the rear of the property.

Also, check out WARL, The Washington Animal Rescue League, that jumped in to do the rehab and rehome: http://www.warl.org/

I recommend the video halfway down the page. Nothing graphic, really.

Nice work, folks. Two thumbs up.
