Fire reported at dog-breeding facility (This doesn't sound good at all.)

Fire reported at dog-breeding facility in Johnston County :: WRAL.com:

SELMA, N.C. — Johnston County authorities are investigating a fire at Puppy Paradise, a dog-breeding facility in Selma.

I read "dog-breeding facility" and hear "puppy mill." Some of the recent reviews of the facility would seem to confirm my gut reaction that the tragedy predates the fire.
