On March 15, 2007 , The Greene County Daily World proclaimed Darlene Clark, puppy miller extraordinaire, a "HERO" for saving herself and her "Kennel Dogs" From a fire that engulfed the shed she used for breeding puppy Mill dogs. Even though the fire was reportedly caused by RATS infesting the building that chewed through the wiring, the newspaper apparently could not see a PUPPY MILL staring them in the face.

FAST FORWARD to Dec 1, 2010...forces from OUTSIDE GREENE COUNTY finally acted on IRS charges and seized 129 dogs , many in horrific condition. FOR SOME REASON....local authorities and press can't seem to see the obvious. Maybe they truly don't see situations for what they are, or maybe they don't care, or maybe they condone them...but THANK GOD someone else took action.
