An In Depth Look At Puppy Mills
Puppy mills are breeding facilities run by people who do not care about dogs. The only thing that they do care about is profit. There is no companion among these people and dogs in puppy mills are treated as manufactured items instead of loving, breathing, adorable beings. Genetic disorders run rampant in this breeding ground because genetics are never given a second thought. Instead of considering health, they consider the amount of puppies that they can get out of each bitch (proper term for female dog). In puppy mills dogs receive very minimal vet care, tiny amounts of food, and small amounts of water. These dogs are forced to live in cramped, filthy, wire cages and rarely receive human attention and affection. According to the SPCA, In order to maximize profits, female dogs are bred at every opportunity with little to no recovery time between litters. Most of the bitches and dogs (male dogs) die in the puppy mills and never get to experience any sort of happiness. In other words they die alone in misery. It is a very sad cycle and one that must be stopped. The following two videos will provide you with an insight on puppy mills. These are videos that puppy mill owners would not want you to see. I hope that these videos make you want to take action. Puppy mills cannot be stopped until we band together. Both of these videos were found on YouTube and the first video comes from the Humane Society of the United States. Just a disclaimer the second video may be viewed as graphic.

I have previous knowledge about puppy mills and agree it is a terrible thing, and more things should be done to stop them. I see that youve used the SPCA as a source, I personally have issues with the SPCA and their euthanization of animals who have been at the shelter for too long, how do you feel about the SPCA?
