HILLSVILLE, Va. - Nearly 1,000 dogs were seized by animal control officers in Hillsville, Va., after they raided an alleged puppy mill last week. Officers said they raided the puppy mill, which is thought to be the largest of several, after conducting a five-month-long investigation.

?We counted 1,080 dogs on Nov. 2,? said Garry Larrow, Carrol County administrator.

Larrow said the mill was part of a substantial Virginia puppy mill industry.

The mill?s owner, Lanzie Horton, said he doesn?t think it?s fair.

?I feel like this is my business, I ought to be left to run it,? Horton said.

Coming soon to an Inbox near you; arguably the most insidious 419 scam yet. Unlike older cons promising money, love or your life, this new variant doesn’t exploit greed, lust or fear – but another human languor equally as vulnerable — puppies!

Send money now, pleads the unsolicited mail, and you’ll receive these purebred bulldog pups pictured here. Else wise they’ll die horribly. Brilliant, really. As recent events show, nothing makes Americans go nuts like the publicized perils of poor, defenseless, forever innocent puppies.
