AR-News: (US-ms) Target 5 investigates dog dealers

[Animalconcerns]

It's a sight animal right advocates say they'd rather not see. Dog dealers
lined up at weekend flea markets, with hundreds of animals for sale.
Action News 5 went undercover to get a firsthand view of the conditions at
these sales in a Target 5 investigation.

First Monday in Ripley, Mississippi, is a huge flea market on 50 acres
that bills itself as one of the oldest known organized flea markets in the
U.S. Much of what is sold is regular flea market fair. But if you wander
over to the end of the property, you'll see something that has shocked a
lot of people over the years, animals, mainly dogs, hundreds of them being
sold by people who just show up like any other flea market dealer. In
Defense Of Animals spokesman Doll Stanley-Branscu said, "I hear the word
barbaric, cruel not coming back here, this makes me sick."
Stanley-Branscum is based near Grenada, Mississippi. And she's been to
First Monday many times just to get a look. "You see these poor dogs
chained up, and they fight with each other because they're chained up on
the same link. It's horrible."
