Expose & New Campaign - SHUT DOWN DOGS 4 US!
West Yorkshire Animal Rights Group | 26.10.2009 20:52 | Animal Liberation |
Manchester Hot on the heels of making West Yorkshire fur-free, West
Yorkshire Animal Rights Group has launched a brand new undercover
investigation to go along with our new campaign:
BORN INTO A LIFE OF HELL - CLOSE DOWN DOGS 4 US!
Since our launch, we have been contacted by a number of members of the
public and also approached on street stalls, informing us about a pet shop
specialising in pedigree dogs based in Bramley, Leeds. So, following
stopping all shops selling real fur in West Yorkshire we have launched a
new undercover investigation and campaign:
DOGS 4 US LTD - DIRTY SECRETS OF THE PET INDUSTRY:
“THERE IS NO CARE FOR THESE DOGS WHATSOEVER, APART FROM KEEPING THEM
ALIVE TO BREED MORE PUPPIES. IT IS SICK.” - TV vet Marc Abraham on
conditions inside Dogs 4 Us breeding farm.

OCTOBER 2009 – WYARG FILM CONDITIONS AT LEEDS STORE At
random, a day was chosen to go visit the Leeds pet shop of Dogs 4 Us to
gather information on the conditions in which puppies are forced to live
until, or if, they are sold. The following was written by our undercover
investigator about what they saw. Please note that images to accompany the
evidence will be publish shortly
Filthy Cages “Upon walking into the kennels at the back of the store,
the stench of soiled litter was overwelming. I soon discovered the reason
for this when looking inside the puppies’ small cages, most of which had
faeces in more than one place. What came as a suprise was when I looked in
one cage, containing two curled up dogs of only weeks in age, and there was
splashed faeces up the back wall which looked like it must have been there
for days. The amount of sawdust in each ‘kennel’ was an absolute
minimum, only several scoops full at the most and not even enough to cover
the floor properly. The puppies who had had deposits placed on them
appeared to not have been cleaned out at all, no doubt a way of saving
money for the company.”
Puppies in Isolation and No Stimulation “Over a
dozen puppies were kept in isolation, no doubt following the sale of the
others in the litter. These animals looked extemely sad and lonely,
clammering for attention as soon as I slightly looked at their small pen.
One puppy, however, stuck out most. He or she appeared extremely nervous
and just sat in the middle of the cage staring with a slightly bowed head.
No attempt had been made by the staff at Dogs 4 Us to give him or her even
a toy for company. Next door was a small jack russell pup, again there were
no toys or company and even the bed did not have any form of bedding in.
“
No Exercise “There was no sign of any of these puppies being
given exercise, instead they were no doubt stuck in their 1m deep
rectangular pens all day until somebody decided to buy them.”
