Busted

I was on my way home today and passed a flea market area. Right outside the market was a parked pickup truck with a sign saying 'CKC Weenie puppies for sale' I felt sorry for the puppies, I live in the Houston area and it is HOT out today.

So, I see a cop car pull over by the truck. I believe it is actually a citable offense to sell puppies out of one's vehicle now.

I hope the puppy seller got a citation. I hope he gets a fine and that the fine is more than what he would have made off of those poor pups.

I second that - and I hope those puppies are taken away from those people. I've seen things like that, and it really makes me mad, and I feel sorry for the animals being put through that. I once saw a wire cage type kennel outside someone's house, sitting in the blistering summer heat, with no shade and no water bowl. In the kennel were 5 little puppies, and a sign saying "puppies for sale". No one was outside with them either.
I was so tempted to stop and take those puppies, and get out of that and give them water, but it was the kind of neighborhood I'd likely get shot at! I called the local animal control, but who knows if anything was ever done about it.
Some people just make me sick!!!!

I can't believe people sometimes. I have never heard of someone selling puppies on the side of the road. Makes you wonder what someone will try to sell next on the side of the road.

I see it frequently in our area. They sell in the Wal-mart parking lot, side of the road and at the local flea market. Unfortunately, the ones sold and given away at our local flea market very frequently end up as dinner. I hope they all get busted.

Saw that same thing today near our local Grocery store... I saw a cop car pull over and as I was leaving the store they were gone.. I hope they got cited and told never to come back... I hate seeing people do that with those poor helpless animals Another thing that really bothers me is people leaving their dogs in their cars or the back of their trucks to go shopping!!! I've seen it so many times and called animal control several times because here in Florida the inside of the trucks can get over 120 degrees

Unfortunately, the ones sold and given away at our local flea market very frequently end up as dinner.

What the ?? People eat puppies where you live?

I have seen the same thing here, south of ATL, in the parking lots at WalMart and Pet Smart mostly ... but never when pups were actually inside a car. On truck tailbeds or in crates outside a vehicle.

I don't like to see that, but I do know people who've purchsed wonderful family pets that way. Better than simply dumping them at pound, I suppose. Of course, responsible owners spay or neuter and don't end up hawking innocent little lives in parking lots.

Now why do I picture a shady character with a trench coat with half a dozen puppies in pockets on each side?

Yes, there are some cultures that eat dogs and cats. It happens all over the country.

Also, some of the homeless were stealing shopping carts and using them as grills for Fido.
