Once AAS got a website and email, the complaints flooded in. Skippon sells puppymill pups out of her basement and livingroom and backyard in the City of North Vancouver. Seriously ill puppies and dead puppies are not uncommon. Fights to get money back are just part of doing business.

Both municipalities have been complained to but neither Langley nor the City of North Vancouver seem to care. Perhaps both women have business licences to sell dogs out of their homes. Perhaps animal control in these municipalities (in Langley, it is the Langley Animal Protection Society and in the City of North Vancouver it is the BC SPCA) never inspect them, or if they do, never catch them with more than the legal limit of dogs.

If just one bloody municipality had the decency and gumption to say that all pups are also dogs instead of only counting adults as dogs, the huge home and yard based industry would be relegated to areas zoned for kennels where they could be more easily inspected.

Has the SPCA gone before a single municipal council and pressed for that simple solution? Not that we are aware of.

If it has we welcome it to tell us, but we won't hold our breath as the SPCA as good as never answers our questions.
