The pet store, newspaper ads and website that is trying to sell you the dog, puppy, cat or kitten is mostly supplied by cruel mass-producing business called puppy mill or kitty milll. To be short I will refer to puppy mill here but please note that it can also be applied to kitty mill.

Puppy mill is nothing new. These mass dog-breeding business have been around for decades. They continue to thrive because they prey on unsuspecting consumers who are smitten by cute puppies in pet store windows and fancy websites.

But behind the friendly facade of the local pet shop, website or newspaper ad, there often lies a puppy mill. These canine barkyard breeding located mostly in the rural area of the country (often worst than a chicken farm) house dogs in shockingly poor conditions. Please note that the photos from puppy mills at the bottom of the blog is not suitable for children. Do not scroll down if you have a weak heart or stomach.

To maximize profit, one owner will have 200-800 dogs at his or her barkyard all:

* keep in tiny, filthy, wire, poorly-made cages that cut through the paws and bodies

* upon injury or illness the dogs will never see a vet so the breeder can save money

* the breeder see these dogs as a mean to make money not pets so they are never let out of the cages to be walked or washed that their fur become caken by the excrements. In worst cases the fur became solid that the dogs were unable to move their limps. The blood clot, soon the bones died and the limps had to be amputated when the dogs were rescued.

* in order to acquire more dogs for profit cages are pile up on top of each other to save space therefore, leaving the dogs on top with no choice but to pee and poo on the dogs on the bottom day after day

* the "lucky" ones had their vocal cord cut to keep them from crying or barking to be let out of the cages; unlucky ones had pipe shove down their throats

*bleeders who can not afford cages chain dogs in heavy metal chain wrap so tight they tore into the dogs skin

* dogs are fed scrap that cause severe malnutrition, sickness and death inorder to save money

*one tiny dog will breed hundred plus puppies to bring in more profits for the breeder (One tiny rescued dog had nursed so much pups she got several tumors on her stomach!)

* never mind a bed, treat or toy. These dogs will never be out of the cages til they are unable to produce. They are then killed, disposed to make more room for more "breeding stock"

* puppies are separated from their parent as young as six weeks old to bring in quick profit

* many puppies soon died from being born by sickly mothers or while being transported from state to state or internationally

Words can describe how horrid, cruel and unimaginable these loving, innocent living creatures are treated. So please do not be fooled by the cute puppies at the pet store. You may think that you are rescuing those pups but in reality you are just funding this cycle of cruelty. Without anyone buying from pet store, website or newspaper ad puppy mill will not survive.

Adopt instead. It is cheaper, save life, and the canine will actually be healthier because all shelter's pets have to examine by a vet and given a clean bill of health before they can be adopted. And please be sure to chose your pet from an euthanizing shelter because each year 3-4 million pets are euthanized in this country! Some of them even kittens are placed in gas chamber just seven days that they arrived at the shelter! And one out of four are the perfect purebred or companion that you are looking for.

One last final note: Breeders are making profits while tax payers have to pay to euthanize these million of pet each year...think about it.
