wholesale puppy mill,Gorham, NY

Large “wholesale” dog breeding facility (puppy mill) approved for Gorham, NY Heavenly Creatures

Martin said the facility would “disturb” about 3/4 of an acre for about a facility that would house about 500 dogs
Martin was also asked about the disposal of dead dogs – he replied that they would be composted or buried on the property.
And when asked by board member Ms. Watkins whether there would be outside kennel facilities, Curtis Martin replied that there would not be, that all kennels would be inside as would exercise runs.

Danger, Will Robinson!!

At least one board member asked about USDA inspections; Martin said that at his other facility, which houses 400 dogs, the USDA inspected twice last year. Martin’s explanation for contamination containment was vague – he proposed not bringing in disease with proper handwashing, and that no one other than employees would be able to enter the facility.

The major problem with this, of course, is the Gorham board’s apparent plan to rely on the USDA to ensure that the Martin’s actually follow the regulations. If no one except employees are allowed to enter the building, and the USDA only checks in twice a year, isn’t there a lack of oversight?

How disgusting!

1,000 puppies a year.

Another breeder the world doesn't need.

Not one single person questioned the morality of a wholesale dog breeding facility, asked what the size of the cages would be, how often the dogs would be exercised, or other questions about the actual care of the animals.


Are you kidding me??

For what its worth, which is probably nothing. I went to the link for the NYS reps and emailed them to please stop puppy mills in NYS. Maybe if they get flooded with emails. I just don't get it. Hopefully it will be stopped.
