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.

the far left sucks donkey dicks. To bad we couldn't just gather up the far left, the far right and dump them in the ocean. Everything would be so much more lax for a while.

These animal rights people are kooks... I even take exception with the "No more homeless pets" bumper stickers and license plates I see in my state. And there's a nutjob who parks in my work parking lot with a bumper sticker that says "all my children have paws." ::)
Before one penny gets spent on homeless pets, we should make sure there are no more homeless and hungry PEOPLE.
P.S. Don't get me wrong, I'm against animal abuse and all that, and people who "really" abuse animals usually proceed to abuse people later in life... but animals aren't people, that's the bottom line.

They sure picked the worst way to encourage people to adopt homeless pets. People don't tend to look at death threats as a good motivator. I have no problem with them running ads and all to get people to adopt. The local news stations often feature homeless pets and give infomation on how to adopt a pet. That's all good, but this is psycho. She actually had to get a lawyer over the harassment ::) nuts!

Shared DNA and the inevitable ironic comparisons re: human (mis)behavior notwithstanding, if you're really honest you have to admit there are fundamental differences that set homo sapiens apart from other primates, to say nothing of the rest of the animal kingdom.
