Puppy Mills: Let's Stop the Cruelty!

Imagine this, you wake up each day in a 2' by 3' mesh wire cage. Your tiny feet are full of sores from walking around on the wire because there is no flooring in your "home". You spend your day with no contact with others just hoping that someone will remember to bring you some food or water. Maybe today, you hope. You feel the need to go to the bathroom but there is no where to go except for the place where you sleep. So you go, then later you have to sleep in your own waste. You hear a voice, you get happy thinking maybe today I'll be saved! No, not today, maybe tomorrow. You wonder, "what did I do to deserve this? Was I bad"? And this is your life. Day after day until you die.

Sounds unimaginable doesn't it? Well it happens every single day to hundreds of thousands of innocent pets who are unfortunate enough to be born into a puppy mill. This is unacceptable and we have to stop it. We can stop it!

PUPPY MILLS
When you walk by the pet shop and see that cute little puppy or kitten looking at you with those pleading eyes, you can be sure that this animal came from a puppy mill. If you walk into that same pet shop and purchase that animal or even just purchase supplies for your animal at home, you can be sure that your money will go right back into running these very same puppy mills. So what is a puppy mill you might ask. I'm sure you have some vague idea, but let me fill you in on exactly what goes on in these inhumane facilities.

First of all, we all know that a puppy mill is where animals are bred for profit. The main concern of these places is to make money, the well being of the animals in their care is at the very bottom of the priority list.

Some of the animals in these places are not for sale. They are used solely for breeding purposes. A "breeder" will never interact with another animal unless they are being bred. These "breeders" will be bred at each and every "heat cycle" in their lives. When the "breeder" can no longer produce puppies they are killed.
