It is with deep regret that I announce IGCA Rescue received none of the italian greyhounds at the OK puppy mill recently reported on. Since the breeder is governed by the USDA, neither Rescue or local authorities had any say in the matter.
The breeder has agreed to follow USDA mandates (food, water, shelter) and, now that the weather has thinned out the breeder's inventory, they believe they can manage it.
Don't just get mad, get loud!
Please visit: www.okpuppymilltruth.org and let your feelings be known to your legislator about the need for state regulations.
If you live outside Oklahoma, you can write the State Tourism Board and State Chamber of Commerce and let them know that you will not be spending your money in that state nor will you buy from their merchants. The best way to get things done sometimes is to hit 'em in the pocketbook.
