Absolutely heartbreaking. So much theft and cruelty to animals this year, and so distressing to read about it.
Sadly the message isn’t getting through, if people didn’t buy these puppies these places wouldn’t exist I will never understand why people pay £1000’s to someone they don't know for a puppy they have never seen because it sounds like a good deal or in fashion.
If nothing else deterred them, you would think that all the tales of people being swindled out of their money would put them off. Buying over the internet and being told to collect from a non existent address. One that I heard about had travelled from the North East to Greater London.

Yikes! That is so sad. There is currently an overrun of shepherds and huskies in our local shelters and people are still breeding them here for a fast buck - not caring that their prior litter has been abused, neglected and facing a death sentence.
