    My STUPID neighbor...........what would you do?

    in Internet Cafe

    Posted

    Guess the neighbors will know who the "mind everyones else's business" person is.

     

    Seriously I would let it go unless they are making a lot of noise but you are the one that has to live next door so just make sure you are not doing anything that they can return the favor for.

     

    EXACTLY!!

    I wouldn't care if my neighbor burned in his yard- But then again I live in a neighborhood where we actually enjoy each other and help each other out instead of tear each other down.

     

    Whats the difference with having a fire inside - hot ash fly out of the chimney land on the pile of leaves and now you have an out of control fire in moments.

    I am NO LONGER HEART BROKE!

    Tell me you haven't done anything else... that you have taken no other pictures.

    If not... don't do anything else just yet!

     

    All may not be lost. There's a somewhat decent chance they're still there.

     

    Oh I hope so that would be wonderful for her

    Yesterday while at a local restaurant I washed my daughter's hands, first I used the soap then I sprayed some for her. It's that foam stuff. Since it's hard for a three year old to reach up, the soap landed on the inside of her wrist and dropped a little on her arm. I didn't think anything of it, we rinsed off all the soap and went on with life. By the time we got home, maybe 30 minutes, she was saying her hand itched. I looked at it and she had the raised red welts where the soap had landed. I put some salve on it and she stopped complaining and went on her merry little way. I kept an eye on it and it just remained a red rashy area. This morning the area is still red and looks like tiny blisters. So do you think its a chemical burn or allergy? This soap was spread all over her hands but there is no reaction there, but it was immediately washed off, the soap on her wrist sat for a few seconds while I picked her up and turned on the water.

    Massive Dog Breeding Farm Rescue in Virginia

    That statement confuses me. He was given a license to operate his kennel. They knew what his purpose was when the license was issued. In the article it says 500 dogs was his limit. He was obviously in violation of that number. It just seems to me that charges would have to be filed against him to remove his property. Without formal charges being made he should have been given the opportunity to remedy the situation.

     

     

    Exactly - He seemed to be doing everything right by the law (with the exeption of having too many animals) but if you have X amount of breeders and they all have pups that's gonna increase X amount of dogs at any given time so is it 500 breeders or just 500 dogs including pups?

    From the story yaya linked:

    “Any time we see a number of animals that large, there is a concern about the care being provided. Our largest concern is the well-being of the dogs, animals that live their entire lives in cages, and that are not being played with,” Shain said. “We have a concern about companion animals living a life in a factory-style setting, and they are only there to produce puppies.” Shain said the investigation of Horton's Pups couldn't determine any illnesses or injuries because investigators weren't handling animals and looking at them individually.
    Horton said he has a kennel permit and a license permit within the Town of Hillsville, but was unaware he was required to have a USDA permit.
    Owner's reactionHorton said when Woods and Hillsville Town Police Officers visited his property Thursday to seize 43 dogs, the officials never gave him a reason for taking the animals.“They said they had a complaint, but that is all they would say,” Horton said. “That could be anything.”Horton denies that the animals were in danger or were unhealthy.“These dogs have better health than what some people live in,” Horton said. “I have been doing this for about 20 years and I've never had any complaints before.”Horton said the term “puppy mill” is a slanderous word that groups such as VA PAWS and the Humane Society use to gain publicity.“It's just a cop out. I call it racketeering what they are doing (taking my dogs),” Horton said. “It's another form of Communism.”Horton said he sells his dogs to stores as well as to the general public. He believes he should have been able to keep at least 200 of the dogs instead of 100.“They are my dogs. I paid for them and we work here seven days a week,” Horton said. “We work here day and night to keep this business going. I thought this business was good for the Town of Hillsville; apparently not.”The HSUS web site claims investigators in Virginia found breeding dogs and puppies at some sites living in “cramped, filthy cages, in urine-soaked trailers and in ramshackle kennels without basic sanitation, clean water, veterinary care, or even the most primitive protection from the elements.”But Horton says his dogs are very well-cared for. Cages have wiring underneath them that allows urine and feces to drop into an underlying section with newspapers.“It's just a clean way of keeping puppies. It keeps them off their feces and we keep them clean, the same way they do in a pet store,” Horton said. “We go the extra mile to take care of them. We run a tight ship. They are wormed and have their shots. They are healthy and lively. We let them out and walk them and let them run around.”Horton's Pups employee Jody Bullion said someone is with the animals 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.“There are two shifts of us taking care of the animals and they are very well taken care of. They are not abused,” he said. “They get better treatment than I do. They eat better than I do. I grind food every morning for the ones that have little teeth. They get baths at least once a week, whether they need it or not.”Timmy Bullion added that he didn't think it was right for officials to take Horton's dogs away from him.Horton said he hasn't been charged with anything, “so I don't know what their motive is.”
    Sorry I had to add one more thing
    “I think I should get money out of it because they are my dogs. I don't think they belong to the Humane Society. I am going to lose between $400,000 to $500,000 because I have some real good dogs that we have handpicked out to breed. Some of them pay $1,000 apiece,” Junior Horton said. “I could have sold every one of them in two or three weeks if they gave me that option, but they didn't. They just wanted to seize them and take them. They wanted to gain the profit. They basically stole them from me. I would rather be a puppy miller than a dog napper.”
    Seems he wasn't opposed to downsizing if they just gave him time to do it.

    I wondered this myself. I googled his name and came up with a news article with a photo of inside his establishment. It appears clean. It is sort of scarey to think they can come in and take his dogs without filing charges. If the number of dogs was the only problem shouldn't they have given him a set period of time to remedy that situation?

    Exactly - he seemed cooperative. If puppy mills are illegal in VA I understand shutting it down but if he was doing what he's allowed, why the big "rescue"?

    I was shocked to see Sugarland - it's just odd to see someone win that you've been 5 feet away from in a dingy little pub. 10 years ago she was part of Soul Miner's daughter - <---- I loved that group, she quoted a song from them "on the shoulder's of giants" - anyway she used to play at the Red Lion Pub about 10 years ago and we'd go down and listen/jam. It's just really weird to see her win country music - I really love her other stuff.
