All 101 Fox Terriers' coats were very long, full of knots and fully covered in excrement. These little dogs resembled something straight out of a horror film. There were corpses of deceased dogs in different stages of decomposition within a sea of filth,

No Dogs for Laporte debuts on YouTube:

Marc-Andre Laporte, 59, was found guilty of two counts of animal cruelty at the St. Jerome courthouse near Montreal, following the seizure of 97 fox terriers in November 2005 from his Blainville puppy mill.

Judge Jean Sirois rejected Laporte's argument that he loved his dogs too much. When police raided the property, they found dogs matted in feces feeding on dogs' carcasses and stronger dogs preying on weaker ones.

Almost 40 animals had to be euthanized. Laporte's home was later condemned and demolished in March 2006.

Laporte is only facing six months of jail time and up to $4,000 in fines.
On Feb. 22, 2008 he will be sentenced. At the same hearing, the judge is to decide if Laporte is to get any of his fox terriers back!

Un message de Bingo, survivant de l%u2019enfer Laporte

We, people who own and love fox terriers and other dogs, are outraged that a man found guilty of such horrendous cruelty and negect to dogs should be allowed to ever own a dog again! The surviving mill fox terriers took months to recover physically, medically and emotionally from their ordeal and have been living in caring foster families for over 2 years.

Send a message to the court that Laporte never be allowed to own a dog again and that the surviving fox terriers be left to continue their lives safely in the care of their foster families!

We hope to present this petition to Judge Sirois who is hearing the case. We are also collecting letters for the same purpose. Please mail your letters of protest to:

Thank you so much for signing the petition "No Dogs for LaPorte! Sauvons Les Petits!"
Good news! Today, May 6, 2008 - final judgement was given at the courthouse in St. Jerome.

Laporte got $1,000 for each count & 200 hours community service. Plus, three years probation during which he is not allowed to own a dog. After that, he will be monitored so that he will not start breeding again.

Best of All! The red collar dogs are safe. He will not get the dogs back & if he even tries to contact the foster families, he will be arrested.

ALL the media were there. Keep checking Canadian press for updates.

Thank you for your support - Merci Beaucoup! The petition really made a difference. Hopefully it will impact Canadian Law so that we see an end to cruelty and puppy mills.

Best,

I believe these animals have suffered enough! The thought of them being taken from the lives they so deserve and returned to the conditions from which they have been removed is more disturbing than the photos! It is our responsibility to protect those who cannot defend themselves, to allow this to happen would be an abomination of justice.

As a Canadian I am proud to be known throughout the world for our compassion. Where is the compassion for our companion animals? It is imparative to send a strong message to La Porte and others like him that such barbaric treatment of animals will not be allowed. I agree with Doris Smith...No dogs (or any dependant creature) for La Porte now or ever!

Given such treatment of innocent animals, I am ashamed to admit I am Canadian. As a group of people we are known throughout the world for our compassion. Where is the compassion for our companion animals? It is imparative to send a strong message to La Porte and others like him that such barbaric treatment of animals will not be allowed. We do not condone pedophiles associating with children so we should not allow animal abusers to be around innocent animals. No dogs (or any dependant creature) for La Porte now or ever!

How could anyone in their right mind give a living being back to that person. He should have to go through the same length of time in rehab or prison for abuse that those poor dogs now have to endure. No one changes their ways that quickly.

Stricter laws, as well as bi-laws, against animal cruelty, abuse - as well cruelty and abuse against children, the elderly, and ''handicapped'' - would show some type of caring and ''evolution'' in today's society.

1. Cet homme devrait purger une PEINE D'EMPRISONNEMENT PLUS SÉVÈRE. La sentance actuelle de Laporte est CHOQUANTE : le système judidiciaire québécois ne semble pas reconnaître le caractère sérieux du phénomène de la cruauté envers les animaux et ouvre ainsi la porte à d'autres crimes de même nature ! 2. Laporte NE DEVRAIT PLUS avoir d'animaux de compagnie en sa possession ou même en côtoyer, et ce, pour une très longue période !
