image for New Hampshire says ‘never again’ on puppy mill abuse · A Humane Nation

Also pictured, HSUS New Hampshire State Director Lindsay Hamrick with a Great Dane puppy whose mother endured a life of misery at a Wolfeboro puppy mill.

Some had irritated eyes, made bright red or swollen shut like human boxers who had taken too many hits in a long fight.

The current situation puts the rescuers in a position of enormous financial risk, and can bankrupt organizations that rush in to help.

Under current law, the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture licenses breeders who sell 10 litters or 50 puppies in one year. »
