This is appauling...if any of you live in, or around the area, please please please get involved!
Write letters, send emails, pass the word around.
I've emailed the national news here in Canada hoping to get some kind of reaction.

Re: As for media....

The best one out there for attacking a cause and really sticking with it is Bill O'Reilly. If you get him on your side he'll tear into them.

Very good idea, as it so happens my last name is O'Reilly also hehe.
I will email him.

Also that commisioner voted againt it because of the barking, when it was decided that they would be debarked he was all for it.
It makes my blood boil.
If we can all get together and write a fancy email to Mr. O'Reilly that would be great. (I'm not so good at formal writing)

This is the email I wrote to the CTV news. Canada's national news.

To Whom it May Concern:

I've just finished reading a news article, posted on the Morrison County Record website. I'm appauled to say the least. This is something that needs attention, emailing you is the only way I know how to go about helping.

They are approving 600 adult dogs, 10-16lbs each, to be housed on this land for breeding. They have decided it's not neccessary to have environmental checks on the land.
The "breeder" isn't even going to live onsite. To make matters worse, in order to control the noise from the barking, they are having the dogs de-barked. When a puppy mill breeder does this, it's generally a home operation, without painkillers, or sanitary conditions.
Because of the size of these dogs I can only assume they are lap dogs (shih tzu's, bishon frise, toy poodles, lhasa apso's etc.) these are small dogs, that need attention, care, and love. They will be bred from their first heat, until they become useless for breeding and then I can only imagine what will happen to them.

Please, please, call some attention to this here in Canada, we need to make it known that we do not approve of this. Here, and in the States they are experiencing over-crowding in shelters, having to euthanize thousands of pets each year. It has to be stopped. With enough support we can hopefully have it stopped.

Thank-you for reading,
Tina O'Reilly

They may pay attention. If I haven't heard from them by Monday, I will be sending another email to the editors.
