Blog: Newport Beach City Council Invests in Convicted Animal Abusers

There is one issue where Republicans, Democrats and Liberal Americans collectively agree. No one likes puppy mills.

Unlawful federal torture of canines is not anyone's Consumer Choice. It’s criminal and if you feel entitled to this choice, I recommend you please seek counseling.

In Mayor Nancy Gardner’s March newsletter she mentions the issues of puppies and states, “Russo’s will be gone at the end of his lease.” Well Russo’s lease -- located at Fashion Island -- isn't up for FIVE MORE YEARS! Her slide in statement shows citizens want him gone, but then tells us the Newport Beach Council is flexing its political power to secure five more years of horrific canine cruelty for personal agendas. Fashion Island Puppy Mill Fraud!

Legal evidence of government USDA inspection reports and photos prove that Russo's is the puppy mill industry.

California and Orange County are the puppy mill industry's core retail outlet.  Various interstate health inspection certificates show puppies entering California come from Missouri (The Puppy Mill Capital). Russo’s Pets PEAKED the list at #7 for the entire state of California, accompanied by his breeder “SANJON Kennels” ranking third among the dealers. (see attached photos)

City Council’s evidence of Newport’s canine federal torture funding to puppy mills?

• Russo’s state law violations included in several USDA documents and reports show fatally diseased animals, a high number of documented third world human contagious disease infected puppies and potentially lethl threts to children due to transmission handling of infected animals.

Republicans in Congress have refused puppy mill profits, declaring “PRO FEDERAL CANINE TORTURE IS IMMORAL AND BAD BUSINESS.”

WHY then, is the Newport Beach City Council denying property tax payers their right to live in a humane city? The nation expects exceptional standards from Newport Beach, as do the city's residents. As established and reputable people who pay high property taxes for our exceptional community living, we will not sacrifice our cities dignity to aide convicted cruelty criminals or personal political agendas. 

Newport Beach is ranked as a top, cruel puppy mill profiteering city under our current status and we demand our council relieve us of this disgraceful burden that is not ours to bare.

We are national award winners for “preservation of life” and do not invest in federal torture of our companion animals who are a large part of our families.

The irrefutable truth about Newport Beach's support of puppy mill federal torture is posted in the Photo Section of this article and is merely the tip of the iceberg.
