There was a documentary with hidden cameras about a guy he went into a mill acting like he wanted to be a handler when he was really part of an animal rescue team and had a camera hidden in his pocket and the filth and disgusting dumps these dogs were in these conditions. It was an HBO one so the graphic nature would be more then say if it was on regular network tv. And the cruelty these people have is tremendous. If people do want to buy a dog I recommend 2 things, contact a local shelter like northshore or a private breeder. There is no bargin really for these animals many of them are so sick that it is to the point they have to be put to sleep.
