   Search warrants filed Tuesday are shedding light on the charges being levied against Dogs Deserve Better founder Tamira Thayne.
   According to the warrants, "animals are being maced and tased on regular basis". Investigators were able to recover one taser and seven cans of Mace from the Surry County property. Also taken into evidence was an invoice for the purchase of the Mace.
   The paperwork further states that Thayne's dogs were being kept in unsuitable size crates "a minimum of 19 hours a day unless it is raining outside, then they are crated even longer."

5. PETITION: Tell Citipups to STOP selling puppies
   Update #3
   
   
   Thanks to a dedicated animal rights activist and lawyer, we now have an up-to-date Freedom of Information Law file on Citipups. The link below will confirm what the Humane Society's investigation has already stated: Citipups buys their puppies from puppy millers and brokers. One of the brokers they use called "Critersville Kennels Inc." based in Nebraska has a problematic history with the USDA. Some of those problems include: transporting puppies in cages too small, transporting puppies in cages where the puppies feet fall through the bottom and transporting puppies without proper health and identity certification.
