Tracey Leigh W-st :Animal cruelty is everywhere... too many people have no heart anymore.

Ann Duggan: Doesn't make sense at all as even the most heartless person would realise they could sell these pups. I wonder my self if they were stolen and someone panicked ? Either way it is disgusting.
Harriet Mcculloch: Glad they have been rescued and yes animal cruelty has gone to far there needs to be very extreme harsh penalties for people who do this.
Kelly Harrison:You should have to desex unless you're a licensed responsible breeder. And licensed breeders should get regular checks to make sure they aren't puppy farming.
Tanya Higgins: It's disgraceful and harsher penalties need to be introduced for people who commit these acts.
Neil Bezani: You should need a licence to keep animals. That way you won't have unwanted pet after Christmas .
