THEN SHOW US THAT BACK ROOM! And not just once. We all know about how the Department of Agriculture…Read More classifies pets and the sub-standard housing and feeding requirements they have. Anyone who purportedly loves animals and rescues them would know this and aspire to rise above the bare minimum requirements an offer these companion animals some comfort. Yes, we have heard about your so- called adoption and the procedures for getting your so-called adoptable rescue dogs. Basically, just go to the so-called foster's house fill out some paperwork and get your dog that same day. Hmmmm... pretty shady indeed and anyone who uses the term "rescue" when they are keeping animals in these sub-standard conditions is the lowest of the low. No rescue on earth would work with you or should I say no legitimate rescue would work with you.....

Roseanne? The beauty shop next door had to close because of the smell coming from her business.…Read More She sells dogs over the internet, not from her business in Lisle. This is a front for her and other people she has breeding dogs. And puhlease....there are drunks walking all over this little shop of horrors. Between the hot dog place and her business, they drink in the alley. Have you ever been there and witnessed this? Well I have. And yes, we will follow her wherever she goes. I do respect local business, but ya know what? The dogs in the back room are more important right now. They are suffering and have no voice. If these businesses are getting hurt, then they should speak up.

OH, and two weeks ago, she closed her store early when we protested on a Wednesday night. At 6:00…Read More sharp, there were two seriously falling down drunks banging on her back door. Dogs barking, afraid in the back room. She was gone, so they went around to the front and started banging on the front door. I am surprised they made it there, they were holding on to each other to stand up. What is she doing in that store that drunk people bang on her door when she is closed? Just what is going on in this place?

Roseanne Lynch - it takes time to shut down businesses by protesting them. At our protests…Read More potential customers come to us and look at the information we provide; the facts about Puppy (Mill) Parlor. They get educated about the LIES PMP tells. And are disgusted by the pictures and Dept of Agriculture reports we show them. They are thankful that WE saved them from consumer fraud and from buying a sick and dying puppy mill puppy from Puppy Parlor and spending thousands of dollars in vet bills on that sick dog. The Village of Lisle has the power to stop this kind of fraud and animal abuse from happening too; to protect potential customers - yet they continue to allow this to continue in your town. The question you SHOULD be asking is - why are your Mayor and your trustees allowing a fraudulent business, that is also cruel to animals and abuses them, in your town? Puppy (Mill) Parlor is Lisle's black eye. And I think THAT alone does more damage to the downtown area than any group of protestors exercising their first amendment rights.

Patch posts mugshots as part of reporting on police actions. We can never be paid to remove…Read More mugshots, and thus are not an "extortion website." We can always update articles and report on future developments in the adjudication process.

kindly directed at the editor~
Sorry Mr. Editor, you will get no Mia culpeas from me. I find…Read More your practice of posting large head shots on this site appalling and yes it's definitely a form of cyber-bulling and possibly putting innocent people's identity at risk. Other neighboring suburbs post the local police reports without the need of a picture. Many local area Patch.com sites post the names , their offense and where he/she was apprehended. That is sufficient.
But as I observed under the previous editor, not only did the Lisle Patch allow one to read the names, offenses and location as provided by the Lisle Police. The Patch website also included pictures, ages and addresses of those cited. Thats when the Patch crossed the line. I'm sure you're aware of internet catfishing. You know where one's picture can be lifted and reposted elsewhere without their knowledge or consent. While I am thankful that you do not ask for monies to remove headshots , how can you guarantee the citizens of Lisle will not become victims of these other parasite websites?
Yes, these folks may have used poor judgement . But sometimes nice people do stupid things. Hopefully it's a one-time incident. As much as I believe in the First Amendment , I believe a responsible editor balances FOIA with a person right to privacy. Who wants their children , neighbors , minister or potential employer finding one's headshot on a website like this. Especially should the case be thrown out and/or the person is found innocent. If Springfield legislates this correctly I would hope that you could not post pictures and other identifying information unless the person is found guilty.

Yet, the State of Illinois proposed its own "Tollway Website of Shame"?! Those that voted…Read More against the tollway website of shame cited that people could get named on the site even if someone else was running up fines with their car. And Illinois website would also be an "extortion-style" site where people have to pay to get their name removed from the website.

Ummm....Beltane, so what is your point? Is that the interview with "The Most Lies Ever…Read More Told?" I responded to that "fake interview" and asked to see the OSHA regulation prohibiting people from seeing the back room. OSHA is waiting for me to get back to them. Please tell them I need this. Also, paying people 2.00 an hour is disgraceful. That's what the Labor Board told me. And I really could go on and on about the dumpster diving, the looking up prices after the dumpster dives and then marking the merchandise 50% off, drinking in the alley, etc.....So, please answer my questions, either here or on this "interview". Thank you.

Ida...I am only reading the things posted here and on the blog. I thought it would be nice for…Read More people to be able to see this store side of things too. I like to know the OSHA regulation that is referred to in the blog as well. SO maybe you can answer that question for the both of us or will see it on the blog. I believe in shutting down puppy and kitten mills as much as you do but I do not believe in just reading one side of a debate or taking the opinion of someone I don't even know and making it my own. Puppy Parlor has all as far as I know Dpet of Agi reports and a letter from their vet up to back up what she is saying. What do you have to back up what you are saying? I'm not trying to be antagonistic here I'm trying to get as much back up proof from both sides as to what they are saying is all. As I reply on the other Announcement to Laurel...I read what I could find good and bad then visited the store Sunday. I don't think I have to come up yo talk to you while you are protesting because I have also been given a copy of the things you pass out to people by Tammy and it is all the same stuff I have been reading on the net anyway.
