From IDA:

"Please join us for a demonstration to educate holiday shoppers on the cruelty of puppy mills.

Scamps pet store was recently exposed in an undercover report by KGW Channel 8’s Anne Yeager, who obtained veterinary records and interviewed multiple victims who have purchased sick and genetically defective puppies from Scamps. The story also tells how Scamps buys from puppy mills. If you tried to attend last week’s event and missed us - we apologize - there was a miscommunication. Please come again, the demo is definitely on for this week. The location is the same but please note the time change below.

When: Every Saturday until Christmas starting Saturday, Nov. 29
Where: Outside Lloyd Center, corner of NE 9th Ave. & NE Multnomah St.
Time: 11:30 am – 1:00 pm

Scamp's Pet store (located in Lloyd Center) is fond of saying their puppies come from kennels that are licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) implying that this offers some level of assurance regarding health and humane standards. The reality is that thousands of dogs spend much of their lives in cramped, cold and filthy cages as "breeding stock". In these “USDA-approved” conditions, adults and puppies are squeezed together, compete for food or water (if any is available) and endure a lifetime in tiny wire cages which damage their paws. They never get to feel the grass, have a toy, a treat, or chase a ball. Many go “cage crazy” running around in endless circles, driven mad by the frustrating hours of boredom and loneliness.
