    The horror! The Bidens bought a puppy from a breeder instead of a shelter. Animal Activists have threatened to kill this woman. The Dog Wardens are doing multiple inspections to find something, but they were only able to cite her for some kibble on the floor and 5 strands of dog hair.

    Biden's Puppy Breeder: "Never, Never, Never Again" Woman is vilified for selling a pedigreed pup to the Bidens.

    By KAREN ARAIZA
    Fifteen minutes of fame turned into four months of bitter remorse for the Chester County woman who sold the Bidens their adorable little German shepherd puppy.

    From Felicity Huffman's pooch named Tucker to Britney's chihuahua, see which stars are ga-ga over their pets.

    Linda Brown's been investigated, scorned and had her life threatened.

    "I thought when Joe Biden bought a puppy from me, what an honor," Brown told the Daily Local News. "Out of millions of breeders in the country, in the world, he picked me."

    That was December.

    When the story got out, Brown faced backlash from pet lovers who thought the Bidens should have opted for a shelter over a breeder to find their new puppy.

    PETA seized the moment as an opportunity to blame the killing of shelter animals on people who buy from breeders. The organization's TV commercial, "Buy One, Get One Killed" ran in Delaware after the Biden puppy story made headlines.

    Dog wardens from the state showed up at Brown's Wolf Den kennel, repeatedly, for inspections.

    "I was cited for a piece of kibble on the floor and five strands of dog hair. They took a picture of that, they walked around, snapped pictures and don't tell you why," Brown told the newspaper.

    She was found "not guilty" for each citation, but hiring a lawyer for the court hearings has cost her $4,000 so far in legal fees.

    Brown says she and Biden both received death threats from animal activists.

    "Never, never, never again," Brown said about selling a dog to anyone with a high profile.

    Her advice to breeders who've called about the Obama's puppy search: Don't do it!

    "It's been horrific since December," she said.

    Do you think PETA wants to give animals the right to vote?

    People disgust me. Whether breeding is right or wrong, there is no sense in sending threats to breeders and those who choose to purchase from them. These people need to transfer that energy to actually helping the dogs from kennels, or maybe adopting and caring for them theirselves.

    Cited for kibble and doghair?! WTF?! I suppose I should cite my wife and I for having food particles left on the counter, floor, and sink? Oh, and don't get me started on the body hair that accumulates in the bathrooms......the horror!
    The living environment on those dogs is outrageous, they might actually be tempted to eat off the floor, and get a few hair strands caught in their throat! Nevermind the fact that a dog can lick himself and accomplish the same atrocity! :rolleyes:

    That's govt for ya.
