The Role the Hunte Corporation plays in puppy mills Hunte Corp, according to their web site, is the largest distributor of puppies in the world. Ad below appeared in the Holmes Co Bargain Hunter on January 9, 2006
"Andrew Hunte is downright passionate about the quality of the puppies he supplies"
Hunte Representatives are knowingly recruiting from some of the worst puppy mills in the country.
If Andrew Hunte cares so deeply about the quality of the pups he sells, why is the Hunte Corp recruiting from puppy mills in Holmes County? - Are they inspecting the kennels they buy from? -Why doesn't the Hunte Corp spay and neuter all their pups before they sell them? -The Hunte Corp is a multi million dollar business, yet they don't care enough to spay/neuter the pups before they sell them. Certainly pups from these situations are not breeding stock. Even Petland admits their pups are not meant to be bred.
What about Petland ?
Petland Stores buy puppies from the Hunte Corporation.
Hunte Corp buys puppies from breeders, (or what many consider puppy mills), in Holmes, Coshocton & Tuscawarus Counties in Ohio.
Pups from the filthy images you will see here and on the Channel 6 story could be at one of the local Petlands at this very moment.
Contact Petland
Ask them:
-to be part of the solution, as they claim they are, and spay/neuter every pup before they sell them
"Petland takes very seriously its obligation to be part of the community. Petland is proud of its leadership in the area of public education on spaying and neutering as a way to halt pet overpopulation as well as its pro-active adoption program for placement of homeless litters of puppies and kittens whether from a shelter or just a member of the local community"
Petland...if you care so much, why don't you spay/neuter the puppies before you sell them?
