Anti Puppy Farm Campaigners Targeted in Shooting
Published on October 11, 2009 by K9 Magazine News Editor · 5 CommentsAnti puppy farm campaigners in the US were shot at following a protest outside a pet store known to sell puppy farmed (puppy mill) dogs. Campaigners are offering a significant reward for information that leads to the capture of the gun man.
Campaigner Carole Davies said: “We had a peaceful protest in front of Aquarium & Pet Center, a store that sells puppy mill dogs, in Santa Monica as you can see here”:

And then shots were fired at us. Police came (4 squad cars) and found the bullets, 2 millimeter brass bullets. 3 animal welfare activists were hit, including me, no serious injuries. Police confirmed this is assault with a deadly weapon, a felony.
We are offering a $5000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the criminal who shot at animal welfare protesters on Saturday in Santa Monica.

Stay strong, activists. We’ll get that guy and we’ll bring that awful store to it’s knees just like all the others!
Thanks for reporting this story, unbelievable that animal activists that speak up for the voiceless were shot at. Please anyone who cares about animals and the abuse that takes place at puppy mills needs to show up next Saturday (if you live in So. Calif.)and support us, this is not O.K.
These women must be unaware that since January 2009, it is illegal to sell a dog or cat in a pet store in LA unless it is over eight weeks of age and has been speutered. Which effectively will end sales of animals in pet stores here.
Indeed, our state is becoming so “humane” that soon there won’t be any dogs available, at any price, except those that are brought in from commercial breeders in other areas. Several shelters and rescue groups here have no adoptable dogs, and they import them from Mexico, Romania, Puerto Rico and China.
Geneva, There is no shortage of adoptable pets here. All our rescues are full of cute purebred dogs. Just look at http://www.petfinder.com.
OMG y’all!!! I can’t believe that happened to you! I’m so glad nobody was seriously injured. I hope they find the a$$h0le that did that.
Don’t let it stop you – the animals need you now more than ever. I wish I was there with you. We’re there in spirit!
Keep up the good work.
Much love!
