The truth about puppy mills.
Half a million puppies are raised each year in puppy mills.
Very often, the dogs in puppy mills are covered with matted, filthy fair. Their eyes have ulcers. Many dogs' jaws have rotted because of tooth decay.
The dogs are kept in small wire cages for their entire lives. They are never allowed out. They never touch solid ground or grass.
Many of the dogs are injured in fights that occure in the cramped cages from which there is no escape.
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.
Very often, there is no heat or air conditioning in a puppy mill. The dogs freeze in the winter and die of heat stroke in the summer. Puppies "cook" on the wires of the cage in the summer.
Female dogs are usually bred the first time they come into heat and are bred every heat cycle. They are bred until their poor worn out bodies can't reproduce any longer. Then they are killed. Often they are killed by being bashed in the head with a rock. They are also shot. Sometimes they are sold to laboratories or dumped. This happens when they are about five years old.
Puppy mills and pet stores maximize their profits by not spending money on proper food, housing, or veterinary care.
Many dogs die in their cages, and their decomposing bodies rot unto the cage below. Also, everything else seeps out the bottom of the cages.
9 out of 10 pet stores sell puppy mill raised puppies. So DON'T buy that puppy in the window!
The food that is fed in puppy mills is often purchased from dog food companies by the truck load. It is often made of the sweepings from the floor. It is so devoid of nutriuional value, that the dogs' teeth rot at early ages.
