URGENT: We’ve filed a lawsuit against Southern California puppy sellers, the Kenneys, for an illegal puppy trafficking scheme. We need your help to stop the suffering endured by victims like Winnie:
Winnie never weighed more than a pound. The pup was sold to a newlywed couple who replied to an online ad for an 8-week-old mini-labradoodle. The couple paid $1,200 for Winnie, whom they were thrilled to add to their new family.
The Kenneys said Winnie was 8 weeks old and fully vaccinated — but the couple soon learned that Winnie was only 4 weeks old, had been dyed brown with hair dye, and had not been vaccinated. Winnie died just weeks after the couple brought her home, from a disease she contracted because the Kenneys had not provided her the vaccines they said she had received. She never had a chance.
Our lawsuit alleges that the Kenneys defrauded consumers in Southern California by misrepresenting the health, age, sex, and breed of puppies they sold via Craigslist and other internet sites. They’ve faked the puppies’ immunization records and tried to hide the truth. Many of the puppies have died mere days after purchase.
John, these puppy traffickers have reaped enormous profits, while the puppies suffer terribly. Families tricked into buying the sick, underage puppies are devastated by their dogs’ sickness and deaths and saddled with huge veterinary bills.
The Kenneys have been perpetrating this scheme for years — and we intend to put an end to their cruel and illegal practices. Like all that we do, these efforts depend on you! Please make a lifesaving gift today to protect innocent animals and ensure justice is served for dogs like Winnie.
And remember, the vast majority of puppies sold online and in pet stores come from puppy mills — so please don’t buy them and don’t support this cruel industry.
