For over two years the
Humane Society of the United States
conducted the most comprehensive, in-depth
investigation ever undertaken of large-scale
commercial dog breeders known as "puppy
mills." Its primary target -- the largest
puppy-selling retailer in the country,
Petland.
ANIMAL
PLANET INVESTIGATES: Petland takes
viewers undercover and into the core of the
horrific puppy mills that are suspected to
be key suppliers to Petland. We follow
undercover investigator "Mike" as he
crisscrosses the state of Oklahoma and talks
his way into dozens of breeders who sell
puppies to Petland. With his hidden
camera he gives viewers an unprecedented
look inside.
We also meet meet
consumers who have purchased sick puppies
from Petland and a former Petland vet who
blows the whistle on the company..
