Earl Light s Corn Creek Kennel operation in Phelps County was prominently included in the Humane Society of the United States ninth annual Horrible Hundred report documenting animal suffering at what it calls puppy mill dog breeders.
So were 20 other Missouri breeders.
The Washington, D.C.-based group released the latest report Monday, decrying dogs languishing across the country in puppy mills, many of which are licensed and still in business despite years of animal care violations.
Violations covered by the report include ones for injured and emaciated dogs, dogs and puppies exposed to extreme weather, and dogs found living in filthy conditions, HSUS said.

For more than 98 years, Dr. Tommy Macdonnell’s hands have changed lives.
The same fingers that are folded in his lap were in the fight at D-Day during World War II. They pulled the trigger on a rifle, destroying a German observation scope and giving an estimated one thousand people the chance to live. They were the first to greet more than 4,500 babies as they made their way into the world during his decades as a doctor. They helped write legislation that would after years of repeated failures prohibit smoking in public places and the sale of tobacco to anyone under 18.
