Huzzah! One mill down!

Authorities have rescued about 100 dogs from a Quebec puppy mill filled with knee-deep piles of excrement, carcasses of dead dogs and a stench that prompted neighbours to make the initial complaint.

The dogs are now in the care of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

"They've never had a bath," Dr. Ronald Beaulieu, a veterinarian for SPCA who inspected some of the dogs said. "Probably we can save all of them."

The dogs were living and breeding in a bungalow in Blainville, just north of Montreal.

The SPCA said they knew of the breeder and even gave out some recommendations during inspections from 2000 to 2002. But they said there were only 15 dogs in the house at that time.

"From the look of things, he absolutely lost control of the situation, it became a free-for-all," SPCA Director Pierre Barnoti told CTV News.

Barnoti said there were about 100 dogs running or crawling in urine and excrement when officials made the rescue.

"There were dead corpses walking. Dogs feeding on dogs, live," Barnoti said.

The SPCA said this type of abuse is common across Quebec, where regulations are less strict for abusive breeders than in other province. Breeders don't even need a license to operate.

"Everyone can be a breeder. You cannot be a mechanic without registering to be a mechanic but you can be a breeder in Quebec," Barnoti said. "There's nothing you have to have."

Quebec has only 10 animal inspectors compared to the 200 inspectors and heftier fines that Ontario boasts.

The breeder is facing criminal charges of animal cruelty but even if he's convicted there is nothing to stop him from getting back into the business again.

Authorities hope to get the breeder to relinquish ownership of the dogs so they can be adopted quickly, instead of having to wait for a drawn out court decision.

Well... it's a start, right? I'd really wish that Quebec would have stiffer penalties... although ALL the penalties should be stiffer, IMO. You can find the article here

I have been steaming about this all morning. There is just no need for the poor things to suffer such tragedies. That owner should be put in jail and left to suffer the same.

The owner should be left in a small room with dead dogs and made to walk/crawl in his own feces. Made to eat maggots and rotting food. FOREVER.

But I am very glad these dogs were rescued!! You're right, it's a start!!

If you watched the video, there were pictures of Wire Fox Terriers at shows on the walls. I bet the first owner (who only had about 15 dogs there before she died) showed them, and obviously took a heck of a lot better care of them. Then her kids took it over, and obviously things went from ok to horrible. How sad.

Yes ther is another big one in Quebec that needs shutting down. It breeds alot of different breeds, and is clean but it is a puppy mill. THe pups are never registered, no guarantees...obviously a get rich scheme at the expense of the dogs.
