Hi Sam, on another post you mentioned family members writing letters to the court in support of Lisa. One of the couples you mentioned to be in their 70s, and that you had seen their KC registration? Is this Wendy or Peter Walsh? Could I see the registration? I know the couple in a professional setting and would be interested to have an idea how much in the know/involved they are. They claim she was only prosecuted for money reasons (which doesn't make sense) and that the puppies were kc registered and inoculated. I know this not to be true but would like to know if they are genuinely oblivious or trying to pull the wool over my eyes.

Many thanks

Wool and eyes sounds like them, The KC had Wendy Walsh reg as one of the breeders at Greenacres Farm, the people reg there were only removed by them June this year !!! Lisa Walsh was convicted of fraud and other offences, see EDP NEWS 24, Type in puppy breeder commits fraud should get you to the link, They were both well aware of her activities and participated in them with her. The boxer litter which has been highlighted here was one of Wendy Walsh.
You just need to read the press,media and internet coverage to see the extent of the lies, destruction, damage, disease and deformity Lisa Walsh and her partners have caused to anything or anyone they have been in contact with, everyone thought she was going to walk away, using her get out of jail/sympathy card, her son, thank goodness the judge saw through that and was made aware by the prosecution barrister that the child frequently stayed with his grandparents, especially after she became romantically involved with her new LOVER, and fellow breeder of sick animals, Bill Linton in 2011, this 6 months, ( be it she will only serve a fraction of this)was the best we could have got.

:clap::thumbup::thumbup::clap:, bless you, you are an angel! :angel:
What an insight this film has shown! Shocking!! :eek3::eek3::eek3: Massive well done to Johnothan and the team. Thank you so much for covering this very important issue. I hope more do the same in the future and get these hell holes exposed and shut down for good! Thanks so much guys. :inlove::wink3::thumbup:
Only 2 weeks left to watch this online but i do have it recorded and will get it on here forever soon :lol::biggrin3::thumbup:
Here is the wibbly wobbly weblink...:biggrin3:

https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/tonig...onight-the-truth-behind-the-bargain-dog-trade

Walsh also got a mention on the show which was unexpected as we thought they were reluctant due to it being aired before the sentencing but thankfully, they did include the witch! Thanks again guys, your awesome!! :clap::devilish::thumbup::biggrin3:

This is another link for the show with a write up and includes another victims story, Donna with poor little Digger. :blue::(:blue: Scroll down the page to read her sad story, also in take a break magazine....and also plugs for PuppyLoveCampaigns at bottom of page :cool:......

HERE IT IS GUYS....My lil surprise....I have been working with a lovely lady called Beth Millard who at the time was a filmaker in her final year. She wanted to cover puppy farming from a victims point of view and working together with PuppyLove Campaigns we have turned it into a campaigning tool. Please share the link everywhere you can think of and spread the word far & wide. Lets stop puppy farming forever! Inform & educate your family and friends and ask them to share this too. Massive thanks to Beth and to my dear friend Ronnie, my rock through this whole nightmare and thank you to all the victims out there who have helped with this case. Luvs ya all & so does Alfie. xxxx

[video=youtube_share;QdZGIjWwC1Q]http://youtu.be/QdZGIjWwC1Q[/video]

We were approached by a student in her final year who wanted to create a 10 minute film. Beth Millard, needed a victim of puppy farming to tell their story, we chose Sam Brady and Alfie. Sam and her family have nursed Alfie through all his problems, many new owners would have given up but not Sam. She also played a major part in bringing Lisa Walsh to justice.

We thought it would also make a great campaigning tool to inform & educate the public about the horrors of puppy farming as a whole. Lisa Walsh is just one of so many more so please share this film everywhere you can think of. Spread the word & together lets show these scum that we will not stand for it.

Please make your friends & family aware and ask them to spread the word too, far & wide. Thanks to everyone involved in making this film possible. Feedback would be very welcomed. Thanks.

 
Hi Sam

Ive just watched this on Puppylove fb, what a great film and what a natural you are, so self assured and articulate, I really hope this film is spread far and wide and helps to put an end to this evil trade.

Well done Sam and to Beth Millard for the making of this film xxx
 
Awwww thanks hun. We can only hope and pray it makes a difference! Fingers crossed eh!
Beth is an amazing lady and has worked hard on getting this together. I am forever in her debt for making this possible.
And don't forget Puppy Love provided the shocking clips and images from real puppy farms still operating out there. Ronnie has been such a massive help not only in this film but throughout the whole nightmare! She is my inspiration and taught me that we can & should be the voice for all the suffering dogs & pups out there stuck in these hell holes! If it wasn't for people like Ronnie then none of us would know or see these images. So a massive thank you to Ronnie and Puppy Love Campaigns, i will always stand united with them & continue to fight against this awful trade.

Also, if it wasn't for people like you Dobiegirl, i would not have had the courage to do all this stuff. I've learnt alot of lessons from all you guys. People like you are so important in this whole nightmare. You nurse these poor dogs back into a normal state. Teaching them that they don't have to suffer anymore. You are an angel to these dogs and i thank you so much for all you do and for all you have done for me Jan, your one in a million! xxxxxx

I hope she gets more than 3 years hun! :devilish:
No punishment could ever really be enough! She needs to be made to suffer, the way she's made so many animals suffer, she is pure evil to the core :mad4:
I just hope that what i'm doing will help more and get that sentence increased, that would make me happy. As it stands, i feel like i've failed to get adequate justice for them :blue:
All i can do now is hope :angel:
Thank you for signing/sharing and for your comments Jan, you are such a lovely person & i'm very proud & honored to know you. :cool3:
Its great to get some input from others too. :clap:
The petition is doing great so far, hope it keeps up like that :cool:
Keep meaning to ask, do you still have Coco? It was Coco wasn't it? lol I'm brain-dead sometimes. How is she doing? :smile3:
 
I fought as hard as i could, gave as much evidence as i could find to get animal cruelty charges included in the trial but sadly i failed. It seems our laws allow this kind of cruelty to carry on! :blue::confused3::mad3:
They kept saying, fraud holds much higher penalties and animal cruelty cases are very hard to prove! Sadly, this is true! Our outdated laws make things hard enough as it is in a courtroom but our failing greedy Kennel Club and the charity that is supposed to help animals in need, the famous RSPCA are actually making things a whole lot worse!
Where are they???? :confused3: :confused3:
Not been there to help in this case once! :mad3: :mad3: :mad3:
They have made this case very difficult from the start by not checking Greenacres Farm properly or regularly and allowing 'tip-offs' to happen! :eek: There are never any checks from the kennel club! Why??? They say, and i quote, "we register animals, not humans" :eek: :eek: :eek:
RSPCA were saying and still say it always met the absolute minimal conditions and so their 'hands were tied'. That annoying little phrase again!!

And what about the vet involved with this scam? Were they involved, enjoying the cash that Walsh often dished out to get her own way? She was certainly making enough of it! The vet worked with Walsh for over a year and not once thought to report the place to trading standards??? Sounds a bit suss to me, but i may be wrong. Guess we'll never know the truth on that one eh!! Despite whatever statements are made. Surly one would realise something is seriously wrong when there are so many pups to vaccinate? I'm not being rude but alot of those puppies MUST have been showing signs of infections when asked to vaccinate so why have some of those pups that were seriously ill, got apparent valid vet cards? The mind boggles!! Too many things just not adding up in my opinion! :mad3:

I will just point out that if anyone does not agree with my views on the vet, especially on face book with rants pointed in the direction of my family!!! I will say this to you. I am entitled to my own opinion as is everyone else and have spoken to people in authority about the vets involvement with this case. I have also spoken to many victims and have seen many of these vet cards! Yes, some are plain to see that they've been tampered with or simply photocopied but that does not get the vet off the hook in my opinion. Something could have been done earlier but then again we've never had the backing of the rspca either have we!! So who can we rely on to check these places out properly? There is no one!

The truth is, the rspca didn't want to get involved from the off and so, i'm sure, would advise any vets asking questions, that visits concluded absolute minimum standards are being kept, despite many complaints from us victims! But even with those minimal standards that they saw after Walsh was amazingly tipped off about the visit, were in place, apparently, why leave it at that? They should have been back the next day and every day subsequent to check that things were improving but they couldn't even do that!! They were stupid and fell for Walsh's sob stories & lies! They wouldn't even accept it until trading standards pointed out to them the details of their raid in 2012! Even then, they would not get involved! They didn't want all the dogs & puppies that they knew were there!! Completely let us down and failed to rescue the dogs, therefore Walsh kept on breeding them & buying in more puppies to put with these poor worn out dogs! :blue::mad4::blue:

Where are the rspca now??? Still no word from them, still no offer of help!! This story has been big news, surly they must have heard about it by now! We've had nothing from them except a very big headache!! :mad::mad::mad:

I know for a fact that not only victims contacted the rspca with complaints of ill puppies but also members of the public, complaining about the constant crying and barking of the dogs & puppies and also the smell that eventually started! The rspca did nothing!! Councils are just as bad by freely giving out breeding licences like they are sweets! A certain council few years earlier also gave her a licence after big concerns were raised by residents that the place would indeed be a breeding establishment, which it did!! The councils are just as bad in my opinion! But again, the rspca had no involvement and they seemed to back each other up! More backhanding me thinks! It all come down to money at the end of the day.

To stop the noise from her dogs, she used to tie up their mouths with rope/wire anything! The poor dogs were left for days or weeks at a time sometimes so can you imagine the type of cruelty we are dealing with here? The poor dogs would not be able to eat, drink or clean themselves at all :eek:

The rspca have allowed Walsh to operate freely in my opinion & if they got involved properly from the start, alot of heartache would have been saved!! The trusty old Kennel Club have allowed Walsh to operate freely too, even giving advice to buyers that Walsh was a very responsible breeder and would be fine to purchase a puppy from her!! They have also allowed Walsh to register litter upon litter of illegal registrations and inter-bred mating's!! Its all in black & white and freely available to the public, but at a price. I only have 5 years worth at the moment. Walsh has been operating for over 20 years!! The rest of the family.... alot longer no doubt! :mad:

The kennel club have allowed this to happen and both the kc and the rspca should have their powers taken away and be replaced by a new system that does not fail the animals it is supposed to protect!!

6 months is no where near long enough and it should be a life time crasbo, but sadly, once she's out she'll probably move on and start up again somewhere else with a different identity & maybe loose a bit of weight but i don't think she'll ever be able to disguise that ugly mug!! Again, our government allows this to happen and so many do it and get away with it and will carry on without a care for anyone else. B**S***s!!! The lot of them!!! :mad::mad::mad:

I can only hope the results of this case will be a stepping stone in the right direction and show judges for future cases that these kind of individuals can and should be punished for their crimes. I can only hope that the punishments are alot harsher in the future. I think Walsh has been very lucky to get off so lightly but somehow i don't think this will be the end of this just yet. So keep up to date. :tongue3::lol::wink3::wink3::lol::tongue3:
Speak again soon guys. xxxx
 
Hey Guys :smile3:
Hope you are all well.
Just a quickie for now....

Out of a 6 months sentence, Walsh will only serve 25% of it then be released with an electronic tag! This means she'll be out NEXT WEEK!!! I'm going to email and post the petition in tomorrow so it gets there before Friday. This is our last hope as no more charges will be added! I'm not happy at all!! :mad:

Seems a life of crime pays! Big time!

PLEASE, try to get us more signatures & thank you all so much, you very kind people.
Sam & Alfie Pups. xxx

Here is link to the petition....
Puppy Farmer Lisa Walsh, 6 months not enough! http://www.thepetitionsite.com/911/154/504/puppy-farmer-lisa-walsh-6-months-not-enough/#bbtw=474469345

NEW UPDATES :)

The following is the email i sent on 10th Sept..it was a bit rushed but think i got my point across....

Dear Mr Bates

I am writing regarding a case that was recently heard at Norwich Crown Court on the 1st August 2014. Case numbers are T20130243 & T20130146.

Mrs Lisa Walsh, as i understand will only need to serve 25% of her sentence in prison. This means out of a 6 month sentence, she will only serve 6 weeks in prison then be released with an electronic tag for a further 6 weeks before she is free.

I am a victim of her disgusting crimes and my dog had very severe Bilateral Hip Dysplacia, needing both hips replaced. I have details of 5 other separate litters where some of the pups have the deformity too and have sent in an awful lot of evidence against Walsh.

To be completely honest, we were shocked at the lenient sentence given considering the massive scale of Mrs Walsh's fraudulent business. The courts i am told were made aware of all the evidence sent in by numerous victims. So we are somewhat confused as to why the courts feel this was a fair punishment.

I have detailed lists of many registered litters that Walsh and her accomplices have made through the Kennel Club. I am told the courts have seen these lists and probably much more. We are talking thousands of fraudulent registrations! Thousands of poorly puppies which cost a small fortune to nurse better and then there are the poor breeding stock. Not even taking into account all the extra puppies that are sold with fraudulent documents that are not registered.

Walsh must have made thousands & thousands of pounds over her 20+ years of being in the puppy farming trade. The welfare & health of not only the dogs but the horses & cats too, was beyond acceptable! I have proof that she was breeding family members which creates devastating diseases like Hip Dysplacia. The living conditions were so dirty that most puppies were sold with infections like, ear mites, fleas, kennel cough, e-coli, Giardia and even Parvo virus! Some sadly died! Some owners, including myself, became very ill from these infections too!

We were led to beleive by the Kennel Club that Walsh was a very responsible breeder with 20 years experience and it would be fine to buy from her! The above does not sound very responsible does it?

In light of the meeting on 4th September in parliament regarding the Sale of Puppies & Kittens in Pet Shops, it seems like things will finally move forward. I'd like to point out that Walsh was actually given a pet shop licence for Greenacres Farm in 2012. This decision was made by the council who were very aware of Walsh's activities and so aided her to carry on and allowing her to sell even more puppies and continue to manipulate the Kennel Club system.

I feel that Walsh has been free to carry on her business and i blame the councils, the rspca, the vet and the Kennel Club for allowing this to happen for so long! It is ridiculous that someone, somewhere did not pick up on the sheer volume of puppies being registered by her and her husband years ago. Why were they not stopped then? The Kennel Club have alot to answer for but as usual they take no responsibility, despite advising the public, including myself, that Walsh was a very good breeder with 20 years experience, despite already having many complaints about her!

It is not fair that the Kennel Club are allowed to act like this! They are supposed to be looking after these dogs, not exploiting them and happily taking the monies from subsequent registrations. They are very hypocritical in mine and many others opinions! They do not really want anything to change, no matter what they say, they want the money, they too are a business after all! It's all so very corrupt and wrong!

I have worked tremendously hard, along with many other victims trying to gather more information about her activities and of course Gary Young & the trading standards team have worked extremely hard! I can't speak for them but i can speak for all the victims in this case....we are not happy one little bit that Walsh has basically got away with all the heartache she has caused! Plus, all that money she's made over the years! She should be made to pay the vets bills for all dogs/puppies/horses/cats and anything else that she has sold. Plus all the creditors she's conned and the properties she has left damage to amounting to over £30,000!

We are pleading with you to re-consider her sentence somehow, i know there must be a way.
She deserves to be punished alot more harshly for everything she has done! Her pleas in court were ridiculous about childcare issues and even about the child himself. At a recent wedding where the boy attended with his grandparents, he was as good as gold! Even the grandparents said he was behaving much better. It seems the stories & rumors are true...it is Walsh that poisons that poor child's mind, he should be taken away from her and put into a stable, loving home. Where have social services been? Its a complete disgrace!!

People like Walsh will never stop unless we stop them. Please make an example out of her to show others that our county will not tolerate puppy farmers & fraudsters like this. Surly the animal cruelty side of this case needs highlighting. You know as well as i do what goes on behind a puppy farms closed doors, its truly heartbreaking and i was completely shocked to find not just this one in our county but several more, one being on a 'Beck's Row' Travelers site in Suffolk where a Mr Charles Taylor operates his farm & also has a pet shop licence. This is where some of the extra puppies were coming from and the farm is linked to puppy farm capital, Wales!!

You see the depths of this case are too horrific to ignore, we can not ignore the amount of cruelty and also the amount of fraud and money made! We feel that 6 months is just not enough and my petition that i set up a few weeks ago say's the same. People worldwide are shocked at this case and feel as strongly as all us victims do in wanting to see a much harsher sentence be served. Please follow this link to see the petition for yourselves....Only been going for a couple of weeks and already over 1400 signatures.....growing by the day....please listen to us....
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/911/154/504/puppy-farmer-lisa-walsh-6-months-not-enough/

Please also look at how much media coverage this case has got, follow these links....People feel strongly about puppy farming and we all want judges everywhere to be harsher on those who are caught....

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=22448504641&story_fbid=10152662791269642

There are many more links if you care to search on the internet yourself.

We do very much appreciate that Walsh was put in prison and thank our judge dearly for that. We were expecting her to walk away free, so thank you very much Judge. Having time to think things through however and to gather reactions has brought alot of anger from victims, and i think rightly so. As victims, we also need that sence of Justice being served but we just don't feel that. We need closure but so many are still suffering and when she's released who's going to stop her from using a different name to breed again. She will carry on. The 5 year crasbo should have been a lifetime ban! The prison sentence should be more like 6 years but even that would not make up for all the wrong she has done.

We are asking you to search your soul and think of all the poorly puppies, all the desperate to escape breeding dogs that have gone through her & her husbands hand.
You know as well as i, that it was not from 2009 that the fraud began. They were well in it together along with their family & friends for many many years!

I eagerly await your reply.
Warmest Regards.

I got this reply this morning..Glad i got a reply! Mr Bates is a fully qualified vet so hoping his care and love for animals will sway his thinking and do more about the evil witch...

Dear Miss Brady

I have forwarded your email to HH Judge Bate. By convention Judges do not enter into correspondence with members of the public about individual cases but he has asked me to acknolwedge receipt. Confiscation proceedings to strip Mrs Walsh of the benefit she received from her criminal activity are ongoing but are unlikely to be concluded for some months.

But can I add that Judge Bate is a very experienced Judge and he will have taken account of all arguments put forward by both the defence and prosecution in deciding on the appropriate sentence in this case.

Yours sincerely,
Tim Room

Thank you to each & every one of you!
Sill waiting on a reply from courts but i'm not holding my breath! :frown3:
 
Is there any option here for those who've been victims of her dodgy dealing taking out a privatev prosecution for suffering and costs incurred as a direct result of what she was doing.

( I know of someone who registered a goat with the KC :D
