"I believe we've got a republican controlled VA senate and house."
Yep, a big liberal tax and spend Republican controlled VA Senate and House. It sickens me that I helped get some some of those people elected. UGH.

"Filmmakers Tom Simon and Sarah Teale met Pete at the beginning of his extended odyssey on behalf of Last Chance for Animals, during which he recorded information and Last Chance presented incriminating video and photographs to the USDA and federal courts in Little Rock. Meanwhile, many more Class B dealers continue to operate without adequate oversight.
Tom Simon is a seven-time Emmy® winner; DEALING DOGS is his first film for HBO.
Sarah Teale's previous America Undercover credits for HBO include "Bellevue: Inside Out" and "Mumia Abu Jamal: A Case for Reasonable Doubt?," which received a CableACE Award."
Fawn,
I know for a fact there are some awful people who mistreat dogs, and many that happen to breed them that also abuse them horribly.
I think these people should be dealt with harshly (in fact, It wouldn't be prudent to print here what I think should be done with these lowlifes).
However, I am suspicious of Last Chance for Animals, to say the least, and this film maker. I am reminded of the documentary Greenpeace ran about Eskimos clubbing baby seals many years ago. I sent them money -- it was heartwrenching!!!
Later, I found out Greenpeace PAID the eskimos to club the baby seals -- it is to this day the single largest fundraiser they've ever had. Eskimos had high powered rifles even then, so why would they club baby seals?
I'll see if I can find some info on the USDA's class B dog providers. I'll bet they are pretty stringent. If they aren't they should be.
And I'll watch the documentary you suggested, but I'll definitely be looking for a scam.
So what did you think of the documentary?
My wife is very active in this area. So I am very familiar with the subject matter. If it was the 1st time I had seen this stuff, I would have been sick to my stomach. However, I already know it's all too common, and people just don't care.
