What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTeam coverage now from Cass County, where the Animal Humane Society rescued thirty-six dogs on Thursday from an unlicensed breeder, KSTP reports.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThirty-six dogs from an unlicensed breeder. So the one thing there wasn't thirty-six of was licenses.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLook at our live map, folks. Every dog is a dot, and the dots are all in one spot, which makes it a very easy map.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe society says most were free-roaming, with matted fur and parasites. It also suspects some may be pregnant.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPuppies?
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorPossibly. So the headline number could be out of date by the time it's printed.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe society didn't say when the dogs will be ready for adoption, so I'll rate this a ten, and I'm clearing a spot on my couch.
