to junkmailboy1000… I’m sorry you feel loss in your life that you have to post such ugly on our life. We adopted from China b/c that is where our children were. You don’t need to know anything more about our life. Had you asked me differently.. perhaps I would have told you we have been foster parents for years in the US .. and more.. but I don’t think that you really care to hear what I have to say.. you have a hard heart, which I will pray to my Jesus that he softens. I do forgive you.
One thing I can promise you: You will be rewarded in ways you never imagined….
cute girl. lovely family
Like it was yesterday….
beautiful
@wigglerescue , what are you talking about? I never lied about anything. These dogs were abused by a hoarder/breeder and we took action. See for yourself. I hope no one ever buys a dog from his woman again. She needs psychiatric help but we were concerned for those poor animals.
The owner of this disgusting hell hole never came to us for help and had she, we would have done exactly the same thing…remove dogs from an abusive situation, end of story.
@nickjonasluvcute what place do you work?
i work at that place
Imagine, on their judgement day what it will be like when they try to explain how they used their time,talents and money saving animals while human children were filthy,suffering,starving,exploited and neglected. And binkelsteinlouie just makes jokes about it. Now that is truly sick.
Linda Smith should go to hell. I think it’s best that Linda Smith should be treated as a criminal for running this terrible and disgusting puppy mill. Because if I was a pet shop owner, I will not do business with Linda Smith or anyone who runs puppy mills. I should do business with animal shelters not puppy mills.
Because people like YOU turn a blind eye or think this is an “okay” way to treat animals.
Champions??? Are you retarded? From your user name it seems you are a breeder too. What do you do? Go “rescue” dogs from people like her and then breed them? Do you know how many dogs are in shelters in LA? Your comments stink of you being involved. How do you know she had “champions”? Do you know her??
Not only should ALL the dogs have been taken, but Linda Smith should NEVER BE ABLE TO OWN A DOG AGAIN! And you.. you seem involved somehow or have sympathy for her because maybe you are of the same yolk. I hope you both suffer one day… very, very slowly and painfully. That’s the only true justice for looking the other way for harming such innocent creatures. I think punishment for this type of cruelty should be YOU AND LINDA IN THOSE CAGES! YOU DRINK THAT WATER!!!
not all breeders or else there would be no more dogs just puppy mill breeders are low life scums of the earth. DO U people think gawd ITS a big issue with puppy mills so quit putting the people who r trying to help down gawd low lifes ur almost as bad as the trash that runs the puppy mils!!!!
Thanks 4 all those sarcastic comments…you are so caring..not.
puppy mills are a big problem,so if you feel happy that they are sold for a fat profit, whilst suffering, well carry on scoffing all you want…low life.
For the rest of you who have a mind, please stop the misery.
Cruelty to animals and people are both important social issues to combat and we are involved in both. What kind of heartless nitwit are you? I think you could turn your dumb insults on yourself…the trash part.
Your username suits you well. you could add tukthedumbdestroyer and it would fit even better.
We also help kids who are dying on alternate days of the week, it’s hard trying to save the world.
Breeders are the low life, scum, trash of the earth and they have no brains to do anything else with their lives except breed animals for money. They are SICK examples of human beings, I can only hope for Karma.
boo hoo man there are kids who are dying every day atleast the dogs have food. why dont they go to south america and save those dogs fuckin yuppy trash. oh yeah i know why, they would realize how petty animal welfare is in the face of poverty.
so again just because i ask questions to things makes me the breeder? I don’t think so. just like the video where there is no proof to some things you blame me for some one elses mistake. i do not live in ca. one thing is for sure, if everything said is true shame on the puppy mill .
The breeder obviously got in too deep. It is sad. Instead of blabbing it over the nation the rescue group wants everyone to know how WONDERFUL they are. Would you have taken them if they were matted muts? I think not. You will be well paid for your kindness Good Dog. “There but for the Grace of God go I.”
Funny how America is suppose to be innocent until PROVEN guilty. According to people believing every word on this video are not giving the benefit of a doubt. As would any juror in a court of law. They have to listen to both sides of the story and be shown proof. All you have here is a video showing some proof. But just saying that Linda debarked dogs or there are parasites in the water is not proof! Got video or her voice saying she debarked them? Did you take a sample of the water?
Its funny when people have asked questions to this video and it take many comments later for someone to respond to them. If its ok to post on here and make people believe every word is true then why cant we at least question it? Never once did anyone say that the dogs should not have been taken. There were some discrepancies so questions would be asked. Of course if you are able to take Linda to court all those questions will be asked by a court of law.
Who the hell said nosy? Also arn’t you being nosy putting your nose where it don’t belong? You just watch a video and believe its ALL true. There are some things NOT true in this video despite what they say. They blame the Animal Control… Why cant they just go to the police with their video if its “all” true? If Animal Control is crapping out on them. Then go higher up on the political food chain.
Nosey people? So I guess busting a criminal animal abuser is considered nosey? And what does “get a life” mean exactly? You mean like yours and your Mom’s? No thanks, we’ll pass. But you are very original.
Who said it was ok? I didnt. I just had questions to some things. So what do you do if your old dog has no eyes because of cataracts. My dog is 10 and has 1. So if she looses the other eye to the same thing does that mean im a bad owner? Maybe ask for vet records? That dog that is blind I know the vet took 1 eye out for Linda. Not sure why the skin grew over it.
Champions. What a joke. I’ll never forget how that house stank of urine and feces, how filthy that house was, covered in garbage and how sad, abused, sick, broken, scarred, in agony the dogs were.
There was one dog with no eyes. The skin had grown over the dog’s empty eye sockets. Linda Smith’s house is a house of horrors, a nightmare. Unfortunately, Riverside has a DA who is looking for murderers and dogs are the least of his problems. Anyone who thinks this abuse is ok is a sick person.
Well I would say she is done BREEDING because they neutered ALL the dogs even her champions..
How can you take legal action about a crooked system? This woman should have never been allowed to have these dogs and when she was overwelmed the animal control should have taken ALL her animals away from her. She is incapable of taking care of herself let alone these poor defenseless animals. I hope she is DONE BREEDING!!!
Also why cant they take legal action?
Then why are there other people saying she has less than 20 left? Besides ALL the dogs that were left with Linda were fixed (which is a good thing). Even if there were over 20 why didnt they say there were over 40? That would account for the “100″ said dogs. What about Linda going for help cuz she knew she couldnt care for the dogs anymore?
