Webster puppy store subject of many complaints - Worcester Telegram & Gazette - telegram.com

This is a great article. Covers many of the issues surrounding pet shop pups. Uncaring or more likely inexperienced vet, greedy owner, ignorant consumers......no penalties from regulators. So frustrating.

Dr Pol may be a nice man but the way he practices "medicine" is grossly outdated.  Please do not think that he represents the veterinary profession, he does not.

Carriage Horses Don't Belong on City Streets

Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt. This "accident" could have been so much worse. Equines for hire on city streets are accidents waiting to happen. Prey animals panic and their choice is never to FIGHT, they survive with FLIGHT. When a scared 1500 lb animal is  running with a carriage bouncing and breaking apart behind them it adds to the panic.........
That horse behaving in a way that doesn't make any sense, running endlessly, bouncing off of parked cars, etc was a well trained horse with a good safety record.
