All this makes me want to throw up and cry at the same time. I can't believe a
man who is responsible for so much animal suffering and cruelty and/or even has
a part in it, is in our club. Who would have thought it would ever have come to
this?

This is a copy of the article on the flea market sales:
The Hunte Corporation is currently the largest puppy broker in the U.S. It
is
based in Goodman, Missouri. It buys puppies from puppy mills in several
Midwestern states and then sells them to pet stores all over the country,
including
many Petlands. Breeders either drop the puppies off at the Hunte building or
a Hunte truck goes out to pick them up. The puppies are checked over by
Hunte
employees. The breeders expect to receive a certain price from Hunte
depending
on the breed of dog, but if Hunte decides the puppies are not very healthy,
they may offer the breeder less money. The breeders usually accept the lower
price, as they have no use for the puppies. Hunte's "Grade A" puppies, the
supposedly healthier ones, are sent to pet stores. The "Grade B" puppies,
the
sicklier ones, are sold in other ways. We understand that some are sold to
people
who sell dogs over the Internet or through newspaper ads. Others were
formerly
sold at Missouri flea markets and in Canada, but now they are apparently
often
ending up at the huge Canton Flea Market in Texas, which sells dogs, cats
and
other animals by the hundreds. The Canton Animal Shelter describes its
situation as "urgent" (see www.petfinder.org/shelters/TX256.html.) Puppies
that
are
rejected by pet stores and sent back to Hunte also fall into this "Grade B"
category and are disposed of in the same way.
