Puppy Mills

Tweet

I recently became aware of an atrocity happening right in my own backyard. I live in Ohio. What I never knew was that my homestate is lousy with puppy mills. For those who don't know puppy mills are backyard breeders who have no regard for life. They take a male and female dog of any breed but usually expensive types and breed them, with no regard for genetics, nutrition or general welfare of the mother or father. They breed the dog repeatedly as often as nature will allow until she is so physically drained she is unable to give anymore. At which point she is no longer an asset and she is disposed of. Puppies themselves endure cold temperatures, overheating, malnutrition, and no veterinary care. My question is this. WHY? No business can survive without revenue. Who continues to support these people. I can't imagine anybody intentionally buying from circumstances like these, but I wonder how well people research their potential breeders. Check them out. Show up unnanounced. Look around the premises. If NOBODY buys from these cruel people they will be forced to stop doing what they do. Please Please buyer beware.
