This is so spooky because just this morning I met a tiny dog just like this one, not too sure of the breed actually but tiny and completely bald with piebold skin patches, who had been rescued from one of these terrible breeding farms right here in my county.
The story is that two dear little old ladies advertise that they have a beloved pet who has to be sold because they can no longer afford to feed it etc, and they have a huge BARN right behind their gingerbread cottage stuffed full of puppies most of which are already dying. The fleas bite and infect these tiny pups who have no resistance to the blood loss/infection etc and die. Hey Ho there are plenty more to take their place
and I am not going to tell you what happens to the ones who don't make it.
All this in a country which raises more money for animal charities than human ones. And it is not actually illegal, it is a civil but not criminal offence. I like very much Briannas notion of dumping the insects in the beds of the breeders, and tying them to the bedposts maybe.....
