Joe Biden's Breeder Backlash

Fifteen minutes of fame turned into four months of bitter remorse for the Chester County woman who sold the Bidens their adorable little German shepherd puppy.

Linda Brown's been investigated, scorned and had her life threatened.

"I thought when Joe Biden bought a puppy from me, what an honor," Brown told the Daily Local News. "Out of millions of breeders in the country, in the world, he picked me."

That was December.

When the story got out, Brown faced backlash from pet lovers who thought the Bidens should have opted for a shelter over a breeder to find their new puppy.

PETA seized the moment as an opportunity to blame the killing of shelter animals on people who buy from breeders. The organization's TV commercial, "Buy One, Get One Killed" ran in Delaware after the Biden puppy story made headlines.

Dog wardens from the state showed up at Brown's Wolf Den kennel, repeatedly, for inspections.

"I was cited for a piece of kibble on the floor and five strands of dog hair. They took a picture of that, they walked around, snapped pictures and don't tell you why," Brown told the newspaper.

She was found "not guilty" for each citation, but hiring a lawyer for the court hearings has cost her $4,000 so far in legal fees.

Brown says she and Biden both received death threats from animal activists.

"Never, never, never again," Brown said about selling a dog to anyone with a high profile.

Her advice to breeders who've called about the Obama's puppy search: Don't do it!

"It's been horrific since December," she said.

That kind of makes those animal rights activists a sort of US legal terrorist doesn't it?

 

Sadly they have been terrorists the whole time, hell they even employ them.

 

Aint that some shit. What ever happen to our MF'n civil rights!?!

 

and fund or as they call it *donate* funds to them. (ELF & ALF)

 

"She was found "not guilty" for each citation, but hiring a lawyer for the court hearings has cost her $4,000 so far in legal fees." This is one thing that irritates me about the court system.She is still out $4000 for legal fees,when someone files charges and loses I think the judge should order them to pay the other side's lawyer bills since they wouldn't be there,if the charges weren't filed in the first place.

 

Oh, what the heck is going on in this country.....

Not everyone wants a dog from the shelter, and people should just get over it

 

It is illegal to interfere with the sales of a breeder because breeders are classified the same as say, farmers, with the agricultural dept. There are laws against harassing an agricultural business in order to hurt their business.

 

I can not believe they found faults to fine her..the people should realize it is out and out harrassment. I hope that lady takes that $$$ lawyer and sues PETA and anyone else she can find out by name for her monies back. That is out and out HARRASSMENT..and gee, isnt THAT illegal.
I will never understand why people get away with that kind of crap..is our world so afraid of PETA and the freaks? Good grief...

When I read the article on this yesterday on the news sites I just couldnt BELIEVE it. Sure let peta and wierdos say what they want..but to actually take ACTION on it?? good gawd...what is wrong with this world...

 

This is what concerns me the most. I mean, we expect this off the wall BS from PeTA...

But the state actually acting on it? THAT is concerning...I really couldn't give a damn about what PeTA thinks about ANYTHING...but the simple fact that the state essentially went on a witch hunt as a result of this infuriates me...

 

The Animal Liberation Front is actually on the FBI's list of terrorist organizations haha.

 

that's funny

 

PeTA should be on the same list. Freakin radicals. This story is ridiculous.

 

Curious that they are addressing breeder or rescue but neglecting the fact that this particular breeder is essentially a miller, she neither shows or works or health tests her dogs. Also apparently her dogs end up in shelters quite regularly too. I could see backlash over that but almost no one cares about it, just that breeders in general are "bad" and rescue is good. If I were getting a guardian breed with known health issues I would want a breeder dog as well, sure wouldn't have picked her though.

 

Where was OLD JOE??? You would think the lieing basterd would have helped her out a bit seeings how it was Him that started all of it. Real stand up guy!!
