Members of The HSUS and other consumers filed a class
action lawsuit on Monday alleging that Petland, Inc.
and the Hunte Corporation are conspiring to sell unhealthy
puppy mill puppies to unsuspecting consumers in numerous
states. Petland is the nation's largest chain of pet stores
that sells puppy mill dogs and Hunte is one of the country's
largest distributors of factory-produced puppies.
The lawsuit alleges that Petland and Hunte violated federal
law and numerous state consumer protection laws by
misleading thousands of consumers across the country into
believing that the puppies sold in Petland stores are healthy
and come from high-quality breeders. Many of the puppies
sold by Petland come either directly from puppy mills or
puppy brokers such as Hunte, which operates as a
middleman between the mills and Petland's retail stores.
The class action lawsuit is the result of many months of
investigative and legal research, and comes after an
eight-month investigation into Petland stores by The HSUS
that demonstrated a direct link between multiple Petland
stores and unscrupulous puppy mills. Numerous other
reports have also surfaced of Petland's allegedly deceptive
sales practices, including the marketing and sale of puppies
with life-threatening genetic defects and highly contagious
parasitic and viral infections.
