You may have heard the term of these so called puppy mills but what you haven't heard is how upsetting and mistreated these dogs are. There confined to cages throughout there life with 5 or more dogs to a rabbit size cage, some don't have any idea what grass feels like. There feet bleed from standing on the meatal wires all day and night. Many small dogs die in winter because they can't stay warm. Even worse is that some puppy mill owners have there cages spinning around because they say that dogs need exercise, well not 24-7. I'm wondering if you can go to prison for abusing your animals in everyday life, what are these so called business runners doing? They are doing the same thing abusing these poor dogs an puppy day after day all over the United States. There are 1000's of puppy mills all over this country and nobody is stoping them or helping enough. We need to make a difference and put an end to this animal cruelty.

There are laws against that sort of cruelty and if people know that it is happening somewhere, it's their duty to report it to the proper authorities.
Why do you say that people aren't doing anything? There are numerous organizations, both private and government that do what they can to eradicate this very thing. No, it'll probably never go away, but to say that 'nothing is being done' is a pretty broad statement, and I doubt you have anything to back it up.

Actually nothing is being done. Puppy mills are being started up everyday in this country there are over 100,000 puppy mills in this country right now today. And no there are no laws for puppy mills like there are for animal cruelty it's considered animal cruelty to me but a business to most. We could help it go away donate spare money it could even be loose change, Help out your local shelters, speak out about awareness, or anything you can think of can probable help.

Yeah your right but most people in authority positions don't look at it as animal cruelty it is not illegal have puppy mills on this counrty, but it's illegal to abuse your own animal which makes no sense to me at all any animal abuse whether it's someone's dog or a puppy mill should all go to jail for the most amount capable. and you can also call or go online to there website for ASPCA.
