Class B dealers operate under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture and are required by law to treat animals humanely. They are also required to purchase animals only when sellers have all appropriate documentation. Apparently, some dealers ignore these requirements while also purchasing animals that may be strays or may have been stolen directly from owners' yards. Four years in the making, DEALING DOGS follows the undercover investigation of Martin Creek Kennel by the animal rights group Last Chance for Animals. A young man who goes by the name of "Pete" in the film wore a hidden camera while he worked a low- level job hosing kennels at the dog dealer. Over the course of six months, Pete secretly filmed activities at Martin Creek Kennel, including the beating and shooting of dogs, and recorded footage of animals that were left to languish in their kennels and suffered from malnourishment, life-threatening disease and injury, among other abuses. Dog corpses are shown piled up on the property and in trenches after being butchered for their organs. C.C. Baird and his family owned and operated Martin Creek Kennel, one of the largest Class B dealers in the United States, until Last Chance provided the results of their undercover investigation to federal authorities, who closed the facility in 2005. Baird's sentencing is expected to take place this winter. Filmmakers Tom Simon and Sarah Teale met Pete at the beginning of his extended odyssey on behalf of Last Chance for Animals, during which he recorded information and Last Chance presented incriminating video and photographs to the USDA and federal courts in Little Rock. Meanwhile, many more Class B dealers continue to operate without adequate oversight. Tom Simon is a seven-time Emmy winner; DEALING DOGS is his first film for HBO. Sarah Teale's previous America Undercover credits for HBO include "Bellevue: Inside Out" and "Mumia Abu Jamal: A Case for Reasonable Doubt?," which received a CableACE Award.

Home > Action Alerts > Urge Forever 21 to Get Rid of Rabbit Fur … Forever! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The label “100 percent rabbit fur” is meant to be a mark of quality, but for many, it is a reminder of the horrific cruelty that rabbits endure on fur farms. Hundreds of millions of rabbits slaughtered for their fur and their flesh every year are kept in tiny, filthy cages, surrounded by their own waste. The methods of slaughter are no more humane—rabbits are killed by having their necks broken or their skulls beaten before they are strung up by the legs to have their heads cut off. After receiving numerous phone calls and e-mail messages from compassionate shoppers who were horrified that Forever 21 was selling clothing made of rabbit fur, PETA fired off a letter to the company’s CEO, Don Chang, asking that Forever 21 make the compassionate choice and permanently remove fur and fur-trim items from its collection and forgo the criticism surrounding those who support the cruel fur industry. Although Forever 21 officials have made verbal promises in the past to stop selling fur, CEO Don Chang’s assistant recently notified PETA that the chain has no intention of removing fur from its stores and catalog. Please contact Forever 21 and politely let them know that you and your friends and family will not shop at their stores until the company agrees in writing to stop selling clothing made of fur: Don Chang, CEO Forever 21, Inc. 2001 S.
