In Granada, Spain, authorities got a tip about an illicit online sale of untraceable purebred puppies. Soon after, the “Group of Volunteers for Animal Protection” began assisting cops in uncovering what turned out to be an extremely cruel covert puppy mill.
During the raids on the illegal kennel operations, officials discovered far more blood-curdling offenses inflicted on a total of 98 innocent animals.
The puppy mill was hidden away in a tobacco dryer facility, and most of the dogs could not bark because their vocal cords had been barbarically cut off.
The cops believe this was done to aid in the concealment of the puppy mill and avoid “discovery by neighbors”. The dogs were of different ages and breeds – mainly Poodle, Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Maltese Bichon, and Spitz.
The dogs were all crammed in cages and extremely distressed, both mentally and physically. The female dogs had been exploited for multiple litters while none of the dogs had the mandatory microchip or vaccinations. The market value of the dogs is said to be over $85,000.
The cops have charged one 44-year-old man for animal abuse, operating an illegal kennel, and “professional intrusion” for posing as a bogus vet.
It is suspected that the man also abandoned many “unprofitable” dogs after they couldn’t give birth anymore. The man has been released after providing a statement, while the authorities carry out further investigation into the matter.
