“The female is $ 300, the male is $ 250,” Bradley could be heard saying on undercover video taken in conjunction with the Humane Society of the United States.
Bradley told the hidden camera he has 58 dogs on his property, at least a dozen of them, eight weeks old or younger. Most could be seen living in rusty wire cages, covered in mud and feces. In another, a dead mouse could be seen on the floor of the cage.
Bradley said some of the older dogs at the kennel are used for breeding while others, have just never been bought. That means they’ve been living in those conditions their entire lives.
