Retail Rescue Stunned By Billion Dollar Loss

Recently, shocking everyone, the CDC finally acted to slow down some of the multi-million dollar tax-free profit being made in trafficking sick and diseased animals. Most Americans aren't aware that up to 5 million dogs (and some cats) are being imported for resale by Retail Rescues nationwide every single year.  

Suddenly facing being cut off from millions in untraceable cash, these groups are scrambling for a campaign to overturn the CDC ban. They have literally lost their money maker.

They want you to believe that the CDC has massively overreacted to only '4 sick dogs out of 1.5 million imported.'

Do you want the real truth?

What caused this?

In the past few years, the CDC started issuing reports showing that 1.06 million (that they know about) dogs (and some cats) are flown in every year by 'rescue' groups for resale. The CDC is not tracking the millions flown by private planes and smuggled over the Canadian and Mexican borders. In fact an entire plane was chartered to fly in 500 puppies from the Ukraine to distribute to resellers in Canada and the U.S. 38 of them were dead on arrival, more than likely the case that finally broke the camels back in Canada. The Canadian government has now cracked down on these importers as well. That only leaves the wide open Mexican border, private planes and individuals as their source.

As quickly as governments crack down, these cons find a new way to traffic dogs.   Check out this group that shipped a plane load of Chinese dogs into Los Angeles, California in February to then drive north over the Canadian border to get around the new crackdown.  Some of the dogs pictured are French Bulldogs.  Only the criminally stupid would believe that the Chinese are eating a $3-5,000 dog.  

Secondly, these groups have been caught importing animals affected with brucellosis, rabies, screw worm, Asian ticks, Canine Flu, strep zoo and many other exotic parasites not seen in the U.S. These importers have literally killed tens of thousands of American dogs while they profit. It isn't just '4 sick dogs.'

Most people haven't heard of Strep Zoo but in the past few years there have been deadly outbreaks in California, Texas, Georgia and Wisconsin, all are HUGE Retail Rescue import states. Strep Zoo is a highly contagious bacterial infection that causes the animal to suddenly bleed out. They bleed from their eyes, nose, cough up blood from their lungs and vomit blood from their stomach. Most animals that come down with strep zoo have to be put down if they don't die immediately. It is ALSO contagious to humans.

Cobb County Animal Services in Georgia had an outbreak in 2019. The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) and Pima Animal Care Center in Arizona both had outbreaks in 2018.

“This is a truly terrifying dog disease,” said shelter director Kristen Auerbach. “Infected shelter dogs are often found in the morning, lying deceased in a pool of red after they ‘bleed out’ from their lungs. Often these dogs appear healthy just hours before dying. In the past, entire shelter populations have been culled because of Strep zoo.”

Wisconsin has a surplus of animal rescues because almost all of the 'rescue dogs' in Wisconsin are imports.  ALL. MOST. ALL.  The dogs come from the Bahamas, southeast Asia and Mexico.  They are imported into Texas, Alabama and other southern states.  The cream of the crop is shipped to the northeast which has the wealthiest buyers.  The lower end of the import crop is shipped to the Midwest to destinations like Wisconsin.  Every single time that animal welfare advocates try to stop the import pipeline into Wisconsin, WHS lobbies to stop them.  They don't want to lose their cash cow either. 

Animal shelters are concerned a new state proposal could put thousands of dogs at risk and stop the Wisconsin Humane Society from saving dogs outside the state.

If that wasn't bad enough Retail Rescues are responsible for importing a flesh eating parasite called Leishmaniosis. A zoonitic parasite that can be transmitted to humans.

Recently, veterinarians in the U.S. and Canada have been detecting Leishmania in imported dogs: the disease has been detected in dogs in 18 states and two provinces. Our laboratory received reports of at least 10 in Québec within the span of a year. Soon after, we were presented with a case ourselves: a dog imported with suspected “fight wounds” later diagnosed to be Leishmania.

Meanwhile, several import groups are starting campaigns against the CDC ban. One is China Rescue Dogs who cried a river to the mainstream media. They claim to be saving purebred Golden Retrievers 'meat dogs' from China. They bragged that they shipped dogs to Ohio in May 2021. If you feel so damned bad about Chinese dogs, why don't you move THERE and save them? If American dogs aren't good enough for you, just leave. We don't need you here. 

As for the issue of 'meat dogs' it just doesn't exist. You can thank Marc Ching, convicted felon, for making Chinese Meat Dogs a burgeoning foreign puppy mill market. If you think the Chinese are eating purebred Golden Retrievers for dinner, you need your head examined.

Another Chinese Importer has a petition against the CDC with over 36,000 signatures in 24 hours.

Besides bulk shipments, these groups also use social media to solicit individuals to bring dogs in to claim them as 'pets' to get around the import regulations.  People who have a soft heart but know nothing about what their doing.  They are nothing more than drug mules.  Look at this fool.  He imported a Poodle/Bichon Mix from China and within 24 hours he was parading the dog on the public subway and offering it for public sale to anyone who would give him $500.

BarkinQ (Barkinq Rescue Across the Globe) is a brand new Minnesota 'charity' that solicits every day Americans to individually pickup foreign street dogs and fly them into America for their profit. (largely from Qatar) They collect the donations, you do the work. Their website does not say who is behind this group and specifically says they do not have a facility and you may not visit them. They are NOT registered with the Minnesota Attorney General's Office as a registered charity. This page has instructions on how to file a complaint against BarkinQ.  (BarkinQ traces back to 8570 Tyler St. NE, Blaine, MN 55434 though they claim a mailing address of PO Box 600083, St. Paul, MN 55106)  With all these dodgy red flags, people are STILL flying to foreign countries to be a dog mule and illegally bring a foreign street dog into America.  

The government and local law enforcement have largely given Retail Rescue a free pass for 20 years. They are used to no one looking over their shoulder while they rake in HUGE CASH. I've written extensively over the years about the land, homes, vehicles, fancy vacations and everything else that these people have purchased with your donations. The savvier ones have even purchased for-profit businesses with the cash so if the money pipeline is ever shut down, they have backup businesses to carry on with. (they also wash cash from their for-profit businesses through their non-profits). Reading the tax returns of these groups is an eye opener.

Only you can stop this. Contact the USDA every time you see a rescue in your community importing dogs. Filing an online complaint is simple and easy. Contact the CDC and tell them you support the ban and report these individual dog mules every time you see them in action. Contact all of your local and federal legislators and tell them you OPPOSE importing "rescue" dogs into your state. The only way to solve the homeless animal problem is for localities to fix their own problems instead of dumping their problems on another state.
