I for one am very happy to hear that they have been rescued. But 60 dogs cost $40,000.00??? How is that possible? Especially since it is a private plane.
In 2009 they shipped a load of them here in NYC and the lines were doubled around an entire city block. People still want them here. Recently, I just noticed a couple of new BYB posting sales on Long Island,NY -------Original Message------- From: Bill Z Date: 2/18/2011 8:58:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] Airlift to Edmonton rescues abandoned L.A. chihuahuas >From Edmonton, Alberta Province, Canada This story is from the Edmonton newspaper. http://www.leaderpost com/life/Airlift+Canada+rescues+abandoned+chihuahuas/4272155/story.html Airlift to Edmonton rescues abandoned L.A. chihuahuas By Paula Bustamante, AFP LONG BEACH, California, Feb 12, 2011 (AFP) - Blame it on Paris Hilton: the craze for owning small dogs as fashion accessories has led to an explosion in the number of chihuahuas in Los Angeles, where tiny canines are everywhere.
