puppy mills breed misery

Something to share : What's a Puppy Mill?

Puppy mills are abusive, factory-style breeding operations that produce puppies in large numbers and sell them to unsuspecting consumers. Inhumane and designed to maximize profits, they disregard the physical, social and emotional health of the dogs in their facilities. (The dogs are kept in small wire cages for their entire lives. They are almost never allowed out. They never touch solid ground or grass to run and play.Many dogs lose feet and legs when they are caught in the wire floors of the cages and cut off as the dog struggles to free themselves. etc...)

Because of these poor conditions, puppy mill puppies are more likely to have physical and behavioral problems than dogs from good, compassionate breeders. Puppy mill puppies are sold to unsuspecting consumers through pet stores, over the Internet, even through newspaper classified ads. Tho puppy mills are more common overseas, but i still urge animal lovers to Adopt any pets instead thru animal shelters or trusted compassionate breeders.
