Despicable the both of them. The puppy mill, hard to come up with a solution to that but to prevent them from owning pets.

The girl, she needs to have all her kids given up for adoption, her tubes tied and given a good education about contraceptives and what she's just done and thrown into solitary confinement to ponder her mistakes and to allow her parents some breathing room and they needed to have a good talking to as well for I bet a large part of the issue is how they raised their "little girl".

I oppose abortion but am a big fan of preemptive sterilization. Making babies you cannot properly support and nurture is a criminal act in my book. You've got to have something working above the waistline as well before bringing new life into this world.

Dogs and cats should be "fixed" to prevent unwanted litters. Idiots like this woman should have been sterilized by the state long time ago as a public health initiative.

Not to be mean, but being a WA native and all...

is Snohomish and Snohomish County the white trash part of the state? More and more these offbeat stories are coming out of there.

Oh, I hope not -- gmjambear and I just moved to SnoCo last fall (Everett is the county seat). But Gold Bar is about as rural as it gets. We travel through there on the way to Kamp Kodiak in the summer.

The mother of the woman who ran the Gold Bar puppy mill ran a kennel of her own in rural Skagit County (that's pronounced with a soft "g" although in this case a hard "g" might sound more appropriate) just north of SnoCo. That kennel appears to be where the puppies from both operations were being sold from. It was also raided and the dogs from there sent to the Skagit County Fairgrounds.

And Enumclaw (home of the stallion who did a man to death) is in far southeast King County, across a river from Pierce County (where Tacoma is county seat).

Sometimes it feels like the "V" aliens are prepping us.

Sometime I think this wouldn't be a bad thing.

But not often.


And. she had 6 kids and was apparently going to a fertility clinic to get pregnant again. I AM in favour of parenting licences, though.
