quinn has been very involved in trying to stop firehouse closures....which in turn saves peoples lives. as a firefighter, personally i support her. whatever her motivation is, we need it since there aren't many advocates out there for us and she's a pretty strong one. firefighters do way more than save the lives of animals F.Y.I. but what do i know, just a guy who would run past 500 animals in a fire to try to save an unconscious child. oh well.

yes she does do more such as:

Extend her own term limits which now makes her eligible for a life-long pension

Give herself a 25% pay raise

Hire a 600/hr lawyer which we pay for her slush fund scandals

And no sprinklers in petshops (even though I don't support animals in petshops) endangers firefighters lives as well.

What is sad is how you people don't see her saying one thing but doing the opposite. Just as she appeared once in the rally to save St. Vincent and MADE no real attempt to save it

Just as she increased her office staff ( which she is now using to promote her as mayoral) while firehouses are being closed.

Some people shouldn't be permitted to vote. Just TOO uninformed

What fiscal crisis? City Council increases budget to $52.9 million

Nothing passes in the city council without Quinn's OK. There is no democracy in the city council nor are the people represented. Quinn stops all animal welfare bills from passing including sprinklers in petshops, pets in housings, foie gras ban, humane education, etc. Anyone who has any compassion for humanity would vote against Quinn who is using our money to promote herself in preparation for her mayoral run in 2013

I hope they thoroughly investigate this and file charges against the company. Now that these animals are rescued I hope they dont return them to the same neglectful company who put them in danger and neglected their welfare. For everyone who is outraged pay attention to who you vote for as Quinn is scum but she is not the only one.

and further more i witnessed this incident while it was occurring! they didn't even seem to care!!!!!!

i heard they were laughing about it

i heard that the same people had an accidental fire a year ago at there previous location! on a holiday when the shop was closed! coincidence???? they do not have the right to care for animals!!!!! there shop was disgusting! those poor birds who died cause of selfish greedy morons!!! they need to be reported and investigated!

Perfect clip.

What would be really great is if we could plaster every pet store that sells animals in the city with posters showing exactly what those adorable puppies moms go through every day. The puppies wouldn't be so attractive if they saw the tiny metal cage, with no where to lay, and metal bars that cut the feet, and soaked in feces...where that cute little puppy was born, and where its poor mom still lives.

That being said, if you go through a rescue, don't be afraid to adopt a dog rescued from a puppy mill. My dog spent three years in hell in a puppy mill making babies and she is the sweetest, smartest, most affectionate dog ever.

but you really should get a mutt because then you know that you aren't even enabling a puppy mill in a secondhand way by washing the blood off their hands.

he/she isn't enabling but rescue a dog that was victimized by puppy mills. Puppy mills tortures dogs and makes profit off their suffering but the cost is bear by the dogs and the people who rescue them. Shame on those who support PET SHOPS that SELL animals.

no you should not even touch a "purebred" dog. mutts are superior in every way and more moral. what was wrong with a mutt? surely there was one available and yet she chose this breeder dog.

Of course there were mutts available, and they were my first choice. However my husband, having never had any sort of pet his whole life, was quite insistent upon having a type of dog he was familiar with. I refused to go to a breeder, and we didn't have any luck at the local shelters, so we wound up adopting from a wonderful rescue agency. I really hope you're not trying to imply my dog doesn't deserve a good life because she's (sort of, who really knows with those mills) a purebred?

oh I see its your husband that is the problem LOL. but seriously he sounds like a terrible person.

Leave her alone, stop making jokes at the expense of animals who are used as commodity for other people greed and vanity. She rescued a dog which tells me she is compassionate and informed. Kudos.

shes cool as long as she can admit that her choice was breedist which she does. maybe next time around she will divorce that husband and get a natural dog

Get a room, you two!

don't blame the victim, don't hate puppy mills dogs but the puppy mills that exploit them. The solution is not to buy animals from stores as if they are commodities and not living beings. Rescue is always good

felix, one again you have twisted this story in a way it should not be twisted if not for your fucking ridiculous way of inserting shit that isnt even in the article.

NO WHERE in the article does it mention ANYTHING about fucking breeders, ASSNOSE.

Pet stores get animals from breeders. Common sense. Where do you think they come from? I am really starting to wonder if youngpro is a 13 year old kid. All you do is come on these threads and start calling people names. For God sake, go into any of these stores and you will be paying a minimum of $500 for a dog and if you ask, they will give you the breeder information. Felix is a firestarter, but at least he/she has morals and an agenda that is fought with ancedotal evidence. Something better than nothing or "assnose"
