It's a graphic description of an animal rescuer's trip to a puppy mill.

Excerpt:

I set the pups up in my kitchen and my husband agreed to help me bathe the dog. Shaving the infected area was out of the question. I had made a vet appointment for the morning but I knew I had to get her cleaned up and try to get the maggots off her. I began by cutting clumps of hair from her back. Each new clump revealed a new batch of maggots. The dog never whined or whimpered and I think the warm stream of water felt good to her. Tiny holes riddled her skin as each maggot fell from its 'home'

As gross as things were to this point, I could have never prepared myself for what I was about to see. As I finished removing all the clumps of hair from her back, I moved to the tail are. Being an Aussie, she had only a small stump for a tail. At the base of the tail, the inflamed skin created a wrinkle, as I pulled the wrinkle forward, I found hundreds of maggots living between the two layers of skin. Once I removed all the maggots in that area, I lifted the small stubby tail. What I saw is something I will never forget as long as I live!

The tail had been eaten off by maggots. The anus had been eaten to about four times its normal size and thousands upon thousands of maggots were living inside the anus. (warning: extremely graphic and disturbing!) As tears flowed down my face, the dog whimpered for the first time. I wasn't even sure if it was me or her that had let out the pitiful cry. My husband stood silently, knowing that this was not the time for words. I adjusted the spray to the strongest force and cried as hundreds upon hundreds of maggots fell into the wash tub. With each clump of maggots that fell out, the damage was revealed. I can't even begin to say how many maggots I washed out. But after about 10 minutes, I could see about one inch into the rectum and all I could see was raw meat and thousands and thousands of maggots.

I knew there was no hope for this girl. The flies on the feces at the puppy mill finally had meaning to me. The flies were not attracted to the feces so much as the blood and pieces of rectum.

I will never buy a dog from a puppy mill breeder or a pet store. My current dog was a rescue, and any future animals we adopt will be from the pound.

Sorry about the dog story, it is sad. But, this really made me laugh:

I'm not very familiar with the topic of puppy mills, and was absolutely sickened by the one experience posted. I wonder how many more replications of that exist around the country.

My dad is a cop in a rural area, and he has shut down several mills. He says they are some of the sickest places on the face of the earth.

people that do that need to get shot in the face.

Not as nasty as... nm, I'm not gonna go there.

 

[Descartes]

There was an HBO special on puppy mills, but I forget the name. An activist was actually hired to work in the mill, and he recorded acts that included abuse most people wouldn't even wish on a cockroach.

I didn't even know such places existed, until I read your link. There should be laws against this.

No, maggots will kill a living animal. For example, in Australia if people don't sheer the wool off their sheep every year, flies burrow down into the thick layer of wool and lay their eggs on the skin's surface, and when the maggots hatch they will literally eat the sheep to death underneath the wool. It is supposed to be an long excruciating death.

house fly maggots only eat dead flesh. That is why they are bred and used in many hospitals for the treatment of serious flesh destroying diseases. They also inject a powerful antibiotic at the same time they feed.

I refuse to self-torture by reading something sad about a dog. I can't do it.

 

[Shadowknight]

In medieval days, they used to put maggots on wounds to eat the rotting (but still living) flesh.

A live animal/person can have dead flesh on him/herself.
