Story of Might Mouse

 1-19-13 Protest
The Story of Mighty Mouse
Approx. 6:30 PM:
While protesters chanted outside the San Diego Puppy store, the husband of a store employee careened recklessly into the parking lot, nearly hitting several protesters with his truck. He then proceeded to yell obscenities and threats at a  woman protester who was nearby.
 
 This man (known only to the ADT protesters as Mighty Mouse) not only is married to a store employee but also works at the tire store in the strip mall, where puppies were /are stored by San Diego Puppy until they can be sold. He has a police report against him for brandishing a weapon at protesters. This night it took an intervention by one of the (very tall) protesters as well as his own wife (see below)  to calm him down. When will he ever learn? It's time to either grow up or stay away from the Animal Defense Team, Mighty Mouse.

Rats at San Diego Puppy!

 
 


Wait! What are those traps along the edge of the store???
Oh yes, no surprise....rat traps.
Does this means when everyone goes home at night and those
Puppies are left in there alone, they are
being terrorized by RATS?

Surprise Protest 1-6-13

David Salinas, owner of San Diego Puppy, uses many tactics to acquire customers for his puppy mill store.
Because we believe one of them is soliciting new business from the Rock Church in San Diego, we want to be sure the thousands of members there know about the cruelty of puppy mills and their link to the store San Diego Puppy. A small group of the Animal Defense Team dedicated their own Sunday morning to handing out flyers and talking to the congregation as they passed by the public intersections.


We found that the people attending the church were very interested in our message and appreciated the time we had taken to come and educate them about puppy mills and pet stores.
