By real fur I guess I mean new fur, not merely vintage.

I am so glad these laws are being enforced!

Humane World for Animals has a strong campaign targeting puppy mills. These sales bans are closing mills down!

This puppy mill has links to Puppies and Rescues pet store on Taft St. All puppy stores rely on puppy mills. But here we have one puppy mill owner arrested who has a local connection.

Awesome news from Brazil! What's cool about this is that they didn't merely approve alternatives to horseshoe crab blood. Brazil went further. Within 5 years all of the pharmaceutical companies are required to use rFC (the endotoxin testing method that does not use horseshoe crab blood.)

This is a game changer!

I just drove to get some coffee and CarPlay is not working. There is no audio on radio, when I play the songs on my phone, or even when I make a call through the car. At first it said bluetooth wasn't connected, but I could see that the monitor not only showed my music collection, but was even current on the fact I had just ordered coffee through an app. Later it did say connected to bluetooth, but still no audio on radio, apple device, or when I tried to make a call.

This is happening in a 2025 Santa Fe.

I made an appt for Monday, but I hate to go the weekend with total silence in my car. Does anyone know what's going on and if there is a simple fix?

The mink was safely released unharmed.

I was at Home Depot and wandered into the Petland pet store that is across the lot. I know Petland uses puppy mills and I just went into to look. I would never give them a dime. Yet somehow they still failed to meet my incredibly low expectations

First, the puppies. They are all locked in glass enclosed cases. At least four had been there for over a month. Keep in mind that weeks 8-12 are key for a puppies development. Those four puppies spent those important weeks locked in a glass display case.

Second, the rabbits. There were rabbits in open top cases any kid could pick up and injure. They were distressed and it was obvious. The blaring music was probably the cause. They had the stereo turned up!

The store was filthy. The glass puppy cages were smudged and looked like they had not been cleaned in days. The cement floor looked liked it was painted in 1975 and then ignored for decades.

The product shelves were mostly empty. A wooden pallet was leaning against a shelf and that area of the store had poor lighting.

I could see the sink in the back room through an own door. It seemed to have a serious leak. They had plastic bins underneath that were filled with water. The faucet had a steady drip, really more of a small stream.

I knew Petland was a bad company. A Google search will give you more details on that. Yet somehow they were worse than I expected. Apparently the owner doesn’t even live here.

It shows.

Or something in between?

The state of MD needs to fix this. Apparently they say ocean city lacks the jurisdiction to remove the obstacles that cause the crabs to get stuck and die.

That's pretty much it. I know this sub has kind of gone into NSFW territory. I don't plan to answer NSFW questions though.

We sure have had a lot of big puppy mill news today! It seems this is the one issue that can unite Americans.

The New York ban on the sale of puppies in pet stores is being enforced!
