KAUFMAN, Texas (Aug. 12) -- Authorities have seized more than 500 dogs and about 15 cats from what they say is a puppy mill southwest of Dallas.
The Humane Society and Kaufman County sheriff's deputies raided the suspected puppy mill Tuesday. Sheriff's deputies said the kennel's owners have not yet been arrested or charged.

The Humane Society says it began investigating after a person appealed to the agency for dog food donations for the operation.
The kennel operated in a large metal building in a rural area of Kaufman County near the Prairieville community, about 45 miles southwest of Dallas.
Authorities recently raided a different puppy mill near Dallas on July 7. Nearly 500 dogs were seized at that time and put in the care of the Humane Society.

CHUCK.......................I am a GENEALOGIST (hobby). It is interesting to find records on ancestors, regardless of who you are. Find out "who" they were, what they did. I have so far found 2 ggg-grandfathers and 7, yes SEVEN ggg uncles who died fighting for the north. All but 3 had families at the time. They left wives and children who had little or no way of fending for themselves. Today we see what this "Union" has become. No thanks, just bitter people who hate all caucasians, breeding more bitter people to hate caucasians. I hoped in 2007, this "Obama" fellow might be someone whom at least, would bring our nation together. I bought one of his books (still have it) "The Audacity of Hope." The audacity was Obama's racism against caucasians in this book. I was horrified! Here we see people defending Vicks' for his torture of animals. I just don't get it, well...yes I do. It's a sign our nation is not coming together but splitting apart. Pretty sad when anyone defends ...

There is a whole lot of sickness on this board! This has nothing to do with black or white .... Vick is a criminal! Dog fighting is just so WRONG! Puppy mills are HORRENDOUS! These are simply facts! Anybody who doesn't understand that, has serious psychological problem! Serial killers often start out killing animals as children. I am glad they took the animals and hopefully they can find they good rescues and then good homes!

There wouldn't be puppy mills if people weren't looking for cheap pets. They love their pets as long as they can get them at the right price.
