The Humane Society bases its report on inspections done by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Five years ago, we exposed some of Ohio’s large volume dog breeders showing many being cited numerous times for violations. “Three of Ohio’s 13 breeders that appear on this year’s Horrible Hundred report have appeared in previous reports,” Finneran said. According to the inspection report for that breeder in Baltic, Ohio, he told the inspector his veterinarian sedated the dogs first. These two breeders were referred to the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Legal Counsel to determine if other action should take place.
