The alleged puppy mill was outside Faison in Duplin County.
Carl Faison and Anthony McMillian pleaded guilty Wednesday, to one count each of misdemeanor animal cruelty after the discovery of nearly 50 dogs at a puppy mill off David Bright Road in March.
They were facing charges of 44 COUNTS OF ANIMAL CRUELTY apiece. Nice that the DA's Office lets them throw out 43 of those 44 charges. Pathetic. [bad judge tag]
The judge ordered both men to not have more than three pets at a time and to not operate a business selling animals for the rest of their one-year unsupervised probation.
The dogs were taken to shelters in both Duplin and Wake Counties.
