A rigorous program that stops people from confining animals denying them vet care expose them to extremes of even cold if theyre going to lose revenue the American Kennel Club prides itself on being the only purebred registry in the United States with an ongoing routine kennel Inspection Program with a dedicated team of field inspectors casey says that inspects kennels but they dont make any of those inspection records available. They say that theyve got rigorous standards but they really dont what those standards are in real terms they say that they kick people out but we dont really have a comprehensive record of when theyre doing that or what the consequences are even if they can still keep breeding and they can still keep operating so whats the value of their Inspections Program there in force and efforts for all we know are completely meaningless. We dont know what they even inspect for when they go into these facilities because they dont make their inspection records public quite frankly if they were meaningful inspections there would be no reason not to make them public. While the a k c boasts of a rigorous Inspection Program in 2011 only 1500000. 00 of their 59000000. 00 in revenue was spent to employ just 9 inspectors across the entire United States. Big. Is a group of that says its the dogs champion but in practical terms is consistently leading the fight against efforts to establish humane dog breeding standards in the states of the federal level. Over 5000. 00 kennel inspections last year. The American Kennel Club. We make all this possible because you make us possible. Just or your dog the only us registry that matters isnt a g. C. Dot org and or ever we advance that sort of legislation radical not far reaching just basic fundamental anything that a pet owner would think is a minimal standard of care the casey opposes it since 2009 the a k c as opposed to over 100 different bills regulations or ordinances that protect dogs in 2012 alone the a k c opposed to nebraska state bill that would require commercial breeders to have regular on site visits by a veterinarian a Louisiana State bill that would prohibit all dog owners from stacking crates a rhode island state bill that the a k c deemed dangerous that would make it unlawful for dog owners to keep a dog confined in. Pen cage or other shelter for more than 14 hours a proposed ordinance in Shelby County tennessee that would make it a violation to leave a Companion Animal unattended in a vehicle for more than one hour when the temperature is above 70 degrees or below 35 degrees why is the American Kennel Club the dogs best friend opposing this legislation that says that once a year youve got to have a vet examine these dogs or you cant breathe them every single cycle or you cant have more than 50 breeding females at an operation why would a group pose that well they were there because theyre making money from those large scale operations. While the public does not have access to a k c inspection report many pet Stores Across the United States emphasize to their potential customers that their facilities are a k. C. Approved and inspected one such company is pet land the largest chain of pet Stores Selling puppies in the United States while most pet lands are independently owned and operated the companys relationship with the a k c is a central focus in nearly every store. Its not unusual to see a dog thats a case a registered in a pet store. A casey could be targeting this major Distribution Channel saying were not going to endorse pet stores if we see our dogs in those stores because we dont feel that is a good means by which a dog is being raced and unfortunately had not taken opposition. Were your thoughts well. Through. So i thought that. Was it was really done. Anything thats not the case. I actually bought my 1st stock from pathway and and my. That i was saving that dog from the cage only because it was way too big for the small cage it was in there was poop and he just likes a and i went back to visit and visit and visit well that is very pushy if youve ever been in the pathway and they want you to buy the dog no matter what and you know they give you all these options i would visit the dog it just started me looking through the cage and i code you want to go to a puppy play room and then theyd give you a toy to get to play with this dog and you started falling in love with the dog and then youre broke and so theyre like heres a credit card if you will help you pay for the dog and you know he would really love to go home with you and so theyre trying to play on your emotions and on your pocketbook your reasoning apparently in store with your family and you can help. You. Through your family and now maybe you are asking yourself where did this come from lets take a look at the journey that when puppies make a right at our store. While pet lamb maintains that it does not purchase from substandard breeders theres no doubt that the vast majority of puppies sold in their stores come from large scale commercial kennels where the parents of those puppies will spend their whole lives in a cage. 2009 the Humane Society of the United States released an exhaustive investigation into shipment over 3 months of more than 15000. 00 puppies across the country the report determined that 95 percent of the puppies in pet land stores come from large scale commercial kennels and i work at a gym right next to a pet land and i see it all the time and i even stopped and said you know even to a young couple you know with kids hey do me a favor before you go in there you know google puppy mills oh we know a popular so why are you going to buy a dog with. No rescues that have puppies right now what are you looking for a lot of the dogs that are purchased in pet stores we we end up with them because the families cant afford their medical care they have some births. Factor some chronic problem or worms or parvo or anything that a piece animals can pick up in the actual mill and to of they always seem to be you know we can state always most of the puppies that are coming from this large Scale Factory farming kind of operations are being sold in pet stores so when you go into a pet store and you see that beautiful little puppy thats a jumping out and or really wants the attention from you most people have no idea that the mother and father are back somewhere any factory farm type a setting where it can be horrendous its not just pet lamb franchises they get the vast majority of their inventory from the primary states for puppy mills independent pet stores choose to seek out these same states a stark example of the supply chain leads directly from Holmes County ohio to a single pet store in patterson new jersey. Petite pups inspection reports obtained by ohio voters for Companion Animals show that in 2012 over 300 puppies from puppy mills and Holmes County were sold wholesale to d n g only one reason would seemingly compel the owner of d n g to seek out breeders located over 7 hours away the price for breeders simply selling to a pet shop thats not about placing that animal with a family for the rest of the life thats really about the money paths are puppies are puppy mill puppies because a reputable breeder somebody who cares about their animals wants to know where theyre going and any breeder that is in it for the love of dogs and they they love what theyre doing theyre good breeder theyre going to have as many questions for you as you have for them no good reputable braider will sell a dog Army Internet or sell a dog to a broker to sell to a pet store thats not going to a good breeder or one of those who you are you all. Is have to go and see if the parents of the dog that youre purchasing if a breeder does not want you to see the conditions that the parents are living in theyre almost guaranteed its a puppy mill. This is a largely a marketing sort of enterprise were people can register the murderers the puppies and you get the halo effect that this is in any case the register dollars or litter when in reality it has no practical meaning when it comes to Animal Welfare they see papers mean absolutely nothing you know and when you come push comes to shove a hasty when theyre backed into a corner was a mess and theres nothing to do with humaneness or the quality of the dog only means who the mother and the father there are in favor of breeding dogs and the more dogs that are bred the more money they make if those dogs are registered with the case they for years and years and years in fact even to this day registration aint home registration fees and puppies are subsidizing the dog shows that the a hasty puts on because the registration fees for dog shows dont mean the amount of money or the expenses of putting them on so historically they have always subsidized their dog shows for registry fees so this is why theyre going to see enough of their own money and thats what i always say when people go to the Westminster Dog Show go in there knowing that this show has been subsidized by the growly of puppy mills because the a c. Will not stop papering dogs from commercial dog breeders and they oppose legislation when you go to improve the standards of care. 2010 missouri had an estimated 3000 commercial dog breeders and was the largest supplier of puppies to pet Stores Across the country nearly 1600 breeders with the u. S. D. A. License was more than the next 3 states combined. In the hopes of improving the lives of dogs living in missouri puppy mills national and state Animal Welfare organizations focused on a Ballot Initiative that would later become known as proposition be over 190000 signatures from missouri residents were collected and the measure made it to the ballot in the 2010 election. Join me every thursday on the alex im im sure ill be speaking to get a feel of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing Dramatic Development only closely im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. One else seemed wrong but were all just all. Get to shape out just to become educated and engaged with equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart when shes to look for common ground. The world is driven by the dream. Of the day or thinks. We dare to ask. Probably was something that was in the works for many years because missouri is the puppy mill capital of the United States probably simply sought to impose humane breeding standards and limits on the size of the puppy mills you know what i started out campaigning for all this stuff and literature and pictures of puppy mills. After 2 weeks i just forgot all that literature was a copy of prop because it wasnt that people wanted to support puppy mills or called you the dogs it was is this a stereo that effected other things it was a campaign of fear and misinformation fear that he was going to mysteriously morph into a ban on all of animals and agriculture you know they said that this would affect farm animals you know and and of course when they were confronted on it and shown the wall they said well its a slippery slope but there was still continue to go into rural areas and convinced everybody this was going to shut down the family farm and it just created mass hysteria and it made a really Difficult Campaign it didnt deal with cattle pigs it india with chickens it in the old any other species the language was explicit and anyone whos a 1st year law student could say with definitive precision that it just applied to dogs in space. To one of the dominoes in what i call the line of dominoes out here you know women ating all of domesticated animals you know dogs cats going to livestock arena forces and so forth and in a bell of Measure Campaign you dont necessarily need to convince people that your position is right you just need to sow enough confusion so that people maintain the status quo and vote no phones no way to defend this so instead they want to change the subject to all these other animals that people will respond to an emotional way this isnt really about puppies this is about your chicken and your beef and your pork and this group wants to take those off your dinner plate. Emotional trigger that theyre going to press those buttons to get people to respond emotionally oh its basically a form of lying i mean lets just cut to the chase this proposition was about dogs but wants you to think its about all these other animals because that will scare the hell it. Really is an issue for anyone who likes to eat meat protein in their diet thank you very much thank you kelly smith marketing and commodities director for Missouri Farm Bureau much more to come on this and other issues as we broadcast from the Missouri Farm Bureau offices here in Jefferson City missouri stay with us its half time. Interestingly my wife and i had made a plan. We settle we put on a piece of paper what our dream of a farm. Search i will show with this. So thats where we. Lived our lives here pretty much you know. We raised our family we raised our kids we felt very comfortable here. We didnt feel threatened at all you know and i mean i would have never at the. Suggested to you that clean air was a vitally important thing in my life. They were going to raise hogs ok and at the time i did not know how many hogs they were going to raise and it turned out that now they raise 80000. 00 hogs and 3 miles more than. The Farmland Foods facility in milan missouri is owned by Smithfield Foods the largest hog and pork processor in the world with revenues exceeding 13000000000. 00 in 2013. The operation north of me is called green hills. There isnt a single pig in there that ever seen as the green hills there isnt a single pig down there that ever sees the valley ok so these are wonderful names but in this are these factory buildings where these hogs are housed in these big barns with little fresh air with no sunlight with Little Movement with no grass no nothing you hear the name valleyview and you think all little piggy riding on green grass you know just kind of smooching out there living in the sun you dont see that. These are feeder pigs in the amounts old weights are just incredible and you sit in your backyard with your family and you eat dinner or you sit outside on a warm summer night and all over sudden this thing rolls in and i would call it a trespasser it just trespasses on your property golfs you and its there in the media just like its just like if a visitor coming that you have not invited relationship with the Missouri Farm Bureau radically changed when he began to complain about the daily waste and odors emitting from smithfield food that tree farm while he assumed the farm bureau would support a local independent farmer against his new corporate neighbor rolf was. Left to fight alone. I felt abandoned and also felt that i was working for the wrong organization for for so many years because all of a sudden this operation this organization backed out and it supposedly is a Farm Organization these supposedly supports individual independent farmers and all of a sudden they were siding with industry and they are siding with industry to this very day they campaign against prop b. Began immediately after it was approved for the ballot at a gathering of the most powerful agricultural forces in missouri at the Stinson Morrison and hecker law firm in addition to members of the dog breeding industry the meeting included the leadership at the Missouri Farm Bureau the Missouri Pork Producers Association and the Missouri Soybean Association at this meeting these groups agreed to fight prop be in a coordinated effort with the dog breeding industry. To front groups emerge from the meeting one which would eventually be called missouri farmers care and the alliance for truth while these front groups seem to have sprung out of thin air it was actually a highly coordinated effort financed largely by corporate agriculture nearly 82 percent of total contributions to missouri farmers respective Political Action committees. The Missouri Farm Bureau the missouri pork producers and the Missouri Soybean Association while the missouri farmers Care Campaign highlighted the positive role of missouri farmers in society the alliance for truth was focused on misrepresenting the clear language improper be the majority of the funding for the alliance for truth was funneled through missouri farmers care by the same agricultural trade groups the trade groups involved represent the interests of their member corporations in. These corporations include some of the largest agra businesses in the United States months sent to Tyson Cargill and Smithfield Foods while these trade groups used their vast Financial Resources opposing prop b. The corporations that ultimately provided the majority of the funding for the campaign remained silent simply put without the Financial Support of corporate agriculture the puppy mills of missouri would not have had the ability to mount the alliance for truth or missouri farmers care which were largely responsible for the opposition to proposition b. Alliance for truth that could be for anything you know but they cant call themselves you know friend group in favor of herding dogs so they have to come up with them their word to just totally distract you from the issue at hand its not about the dogs its about liberalism growth of government in rouge and into your life jury has a proud tradition of dog breeding for hunting home companionship and just best friends to enforce existing law against animal abuse but vote no to the Big Government liberalism or proposition paid for by a life for true Mark Paterson treasure i mean they would be fending of those one thing i mean alliance for truth is literally just a front so there has been a tremendous amount a shocking amount of organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities and most of that opposition quite frankly is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries these are groups that have nothing to do with dogs look at who is funding these fans to see whos really benefiting from them its not the individual farmers who man choose who you know may believe in some of the messaging that these groups are putting forward but its really the Major Players in big ai with business who are benefiting and its the industry why defense thats going on is not to protect the poor rancher and. And those guys are getting screwed i have to stink interest in the future of this farm and the future of this community. Corp. Their interest is making money their interest is not in the community their interest is not what is being left behind community interest. Is 0. Prop b. Was very specific it was a bill that he addressed commercial breeding dogs not chickens not cows not pigs but thats what the opposition said thats the misinformation that they gave to people in the state of missouri to scare people it was purely fear tactics on their part and it really ended up being at the expense of the thousands of dogs that suffer on a daily basis in the state of missouri every signature to be on the ballot was signed by a missouri roads every boat that passed property in the wall was passed by a missouri Rosie Missourians here and this was not i doubt you know like you say no those are the same interests that you know they might have right in the money so we can get the word out that they didnt go to the polls obviously it was missouri residents who voted for this. Waiver soon oh you know as though there were. Very. Good ones by 51 of the have became very close fortunately because of those mass hysteria that was just being spread in the rural areas and there really do people really believe i mean i talked to one on one day they really believe this was going to close down the forums. For joining us all i hear on missouri governor jay nixon will he find a bill changing proposition b. Even though voters already approved it probably used during the emotions of missourians on both sides of the issue but it was ultimately approved by. 51 percent of voters the thought of altering it is an outrage and the laws supporters essentially a couple of 100 lawmakers have come to treated their judgment for the judgment about a 1000000 voters nancy weller says she cant bear to see another dog pulled out of a puppy mill she and more than a 1000000 other missouri voters pushed for prop be the very bill lawmakers are now working to change the ink wasnt drawing on the formalizing of the final Election Results when state lawmakers in missouri said were going to repeal probably several of them moving its bills to repeal probably in its entirety immediately have to go to the people you know were not out to put these people out of business for say we just want them to comply with good standards of care but instead they wanted to repeal the whole thing they threw it all out it was just ridiculous 5 months after missouri voters approved a tough new puppy mill all the law is changing they even changed the name of the law from the puppy mill cruelty act to the canine coolly prevention act and it does remove the breeding dog limit and the requirement for the Living Conditions of animals it is a constitutional process and when citizens decide they can do that the legislature should defer to the will of the people how do you run a government when the voters go to the polls they vote when something is just ignored the result action thats the way things run and i have to think what is best for these you know as you know swallow your pride and sit down and work out something earn going to take the high road and say no no were not taking anything we want all of us know you have to do whats best for you as far you got into this. You can be both with the yeah you like. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area russia. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. According to several sources at least in the United States from 2 to 4 people. And. One of my being arrested for the response from enough. Is just their little world that they developed just us against them its. A long history of 2525 years. The resolution someone. Police think. The riots against Police Brutality in the United States stretch into a 7th consecutive night president says if the situation whatever it takes to end the protests. If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the military and quickly solve the problem for them. Talks tough at home other countries call them out double standards when it comes to. Violent protests
