KKK Puppy Farm Investigation - Dogs Trapped in Raised Cages, Footage from January 2009
This puppy farm keeps dogs in raised wire cages inside a tin shed. Dogs are forced to give birth straight onto the wire floor of the cage. ALV open rescue team gave video evidence to the authorities and pleaded to get the dogs out of the cages. This case ended up at VCAT where all parties argued about the size of the cages, not the dogs welfare. The court ruled that it was acceptable to keep dogs in raised wire cages as long as the cages were deemed the correct size. The dogs are still in the cages. Kelly Kesper owner of KKK puppy farm is still selling puppies online.
