this just came to another list I'm on, from a girl who lives in the L.A. area: (shared by Peggy) > Just an update regarding the stolen puppies in Los Angeles's Korea > Town District. I don't know how many of you thought it was odd that > these folks who had their bitch and her litter stolen had thousands > upon thousands of dollars of high tech cameras installed all over > their home but I did find it a bit unusual. According to my husband, > the news on Sunday was reporting that these people, apparently don't > just breed the occasional litter as the initial reports made it sound, > rather they have a breeding business and sell in the neighborhood of > 60 puppies a year. Let's see 60 times $2,500 is $150,000!!! Sheeesh, > no wonder they had all those cameras!! I wonder what the fallout from > this revelation will be --- this is definitely NOT the kind of > publicity that serious hobby (show) breeders need right now with the > spay/neuter legislation we are currently facing (again ...). I have no > idea how far the media will go with their follow up of the purebred > puppies as a lucrative business aspect of the stolen puppies story > .... hopefully, something will come along to divert their attention. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
