Jump To Comment: 1 2 3I'll definitely go to this. We're a very uncaring nation when it comes to animals. Even things like Hare Coursing, Fur Farming, Hunting, Circuses with animals, Puppy Farms, Vivisection happen here with so little concern. That's before talking about Dairy and Meat.
Why were HLS kicked off the NYSE? I didn't think the financial traders there, or traders anywhere for that matter would have any qualms about whose shares they bought and sold...
I think the reason puppy farms exist in this country is because of the age old Irish admiration for the cute hoor, the oul codger next door who makes a few quid for himself without officialdom getting too much in the way of taxes. Anyone who buys a puppy from an obvious puppy farm breeder deserves any heartache they get.
We're one of the puppy farm capitals of the world. Agree that anyone buying a pup should wake up to what's happening
