Well said Dan.

Perhaps he’s an attorney trying to drum up some business, since that seems to be his only suggestion regarding a course of action. Attorneys are expensive Dave and since most of us aren’t raking in the dough by exploiting animals like Abbott does, we probably can’t afford one. That doesn’t mean we don’t care aren’t doing everything within our means to try to stop this man and others like him as well. Since we have the right to whine about whatever we’d like to, we will continue to do so.

Have you been to this place yourself and seen the conditions these dogs live in for their entire sad lives? Many of the people telling the horror stories are not even activists. They were potential customers that came to buy a puppy from him, so obviously not someone who hates all breeders. They have witnessed it with their own eyes and they all tell the same sad story, some years and years apart. No this is not a case of animal rights extremists exaggerating or bending the truth for propaganda purposes. This is real and it is abuse that has spanned over two decades and it beyond dispicable.

This is why people end up taking the law into their own hands sometimes, because the laws often do nothing to protect those who need it most and the authority figures who actually could help, turn a blind eye. I don’t believe for even a second that he meets the minimum standards required by law, when all other eye-witness accounts tell of absolutely atrocious conditions of neglect and abuse. This rich man Abbott is probably paying off the “officials” conducting these inspections. That’s how the system works I guess. If you have money, you can get away with murder pretty much. I would never attend a church this man is a pastor at. He is not a servant of The Lord. He is a fraud.

When I first visited his place, the kennels my puppy was in looked better than an animal shelter.

We got to meet the dad of the puppies. I sure hope we won’t have any problems with our new puppies health.

His business will do come to an end. Especially if people stop buying animals from him.
” JUST STOP”

California’s Assembly Bill 485 has passed, making California the first state to ban the sale of commercially-bred pets in pet stores statewide.

“This landmark law breaks the puppy mill supply chain that pushes puppies into California pet stores and has allowed unscrupulous breeders to profit from abusive practices,” said Matt Bershadker, President and CEO of the ASPCA. “We’re proud to be part of the coalition that worked alongside Assembly member Patrick O’Donnell to pass this critical animal protection bill, and thank the California legislature and Governor Brown for sending the clear message that industries supporting animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our society.”

Under this new law, it is illegal for pet stores to sell pets bought from a commercial breeder, places like puppy mills and backyard breeders that cruelly turn out neglected and unhealthy animals for a profit. Instead, the animals available at California pet stores will have to be rescue/shelter pets that are in need of a home.
The law goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2019. From that day on, pet store operators will be prohibited from selling any live dog, cat or rabbit in a pet store unless the animal was obtained from a public animal control agency or shelter, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals shelter, Humane Society shelter, or rescue group.

The new law also demands more transparency from pet stores. Pet store owners will be required to keep records on each animal they sell and to post on the pet’s cage how the animal was obtained by the store. Pet store operators that violate these new regulations will be charged a civil penalty of $500 for the violation.

“By signing this groundbreaking bill, California has set an important, humane precedent for other states to follow,” said Gregory Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society. “We commend Governor Brown’s signing of this lifesaving legislation to codify statewide what cities across California have already done to help put an end to the cruelty of pet mills.”

Animal welfare groups like the ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Society and Last Chance for Animals hope this historic move by California will inspire other states to protect their pets and put an end to puppy mills and other cruel breeding.h
