Puppies are so adorable, so why should they be treated so horribly? At puppy mills the dogs are treated very bad. Most dogs are either sick or get sick when they are brought from puppy mills. The owners of the puppy mills sometimes starve them and lock them up in confined spaces. I believe that puppy mills need to be shut down.
Puppy mills treat their dogs very poorly. They put profit over the health and well being of their dogs. I got my dog from a breeder and it is the sweetest, most loving, dog anyone could ask for, but I have a friend who just rescued their puppy from a puppy mill and it isn’t even allowed to walk on the ground yet because it didn’t receive the proper shots it needed, the puppy's mother was also treated very poorly. 99% of puppies sold in a pet store has a mother that will spend her life in a tiny cage, never being petted, never being walked, and never being

Nearly 100% of all puppies in pet stores have parasites when they are purchased. One puppy mill had their dogs just thrown in the basement, and one's jaw rotted into the bone. Often times the water and food provided for the puppies is contaminated, crawling with bugs. Puppies can even be malnourished, which means lacking nutrition. This proves that dogs from puppy mills are most likely to end up sick.
They sometimes starve the dogs, and they are always locked up in small, cramped cages. In puppy mills, dogs can spend most of their lives in these cages, with no room to play or exercise. Puppy mill kennels generally consists of small, outdoor wooden or wire cages or crates. Puppies constantly receive below standard food, minimal or no veterinary care. This evidence proves that puppies don't get the right treatment. You could argue that the average person looking for a puppy for their kids goes to a pet shop first, but more and more people today are rescuing dogs instead of just going to the pet
A puppy mill is a horrible place that breeds dogs. Dogs that are breedable may get little to no recovery time between pregnancies. Dogs and puppies are stuffed into wire cages that can harm them. Puppy mills tend to be overcrowded disease and virus filled places. Puppy mills focus on profit rather than the health of the dogs. Many dogs are bred with little regard of genetic quality. Dogs in puppy mills are deprived of veterinary care, food, water, and socialization. If a dog is older and unable to breed anymore they are likely to be killed. Some dogs may never see the light of day or get any attention.
What is a Puppy Mill, How are animals being at Puppy Mills. Animals are being severely neglected by the owners. Responsible breeding practices end up killing. Animals get abused and usually are left to die with no food, water or even locked in a cage. Puppy mills are operating all over the U.S. After breeding for amount of times and don’t get time to recover and cant reproduce anymore are often killed off. Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, without care, food, water and socialization. Puppy mill dogs do not get to experience treats, toys, exercise or basic grooming. To minimize waste cleanup, dogs are often kept in cages with wire flooring that injures their paws and legs- and it is not unusual for cages to be stacked up in columns. Breeding dogs at mills might spend their entire lives outdoors, exposed to the elements, or crammed inside filthy structure where they never get the chance to feel the sun or breathe fresh air. Puppy Mills should be outlawed because some animals are being severely neglected and owners act out without regard to respons...
Year after year people buy puppies from big breeders. Have you ever wondered where that puppy grew up? What kind of conditions the puppy lived in? Most puppies that someone would buy from a pet store are raised in puppy mills. Puppy mills are well-known for their “inhumane conditions” and the endless breeding of “unhealthy and genetically defective” dogs only for income. People should adopt rather than buy from a pet store or breeder. By adopting from a shelter, one could give a dog a second chance at a happy life.
To show, from A Closer Look At Puppy Mills, “To maximize profits, female dogs are bred at every opportunity with little to no recovery time between litters. When they are physically depleted to the point that they no longer can reproduce, breeding females are often killed” (ASPCA 4). According to, Caesar Milian and Melissa Peltier, animal experts, “lifespan of the breeding dogs is often cut in half.” To add on, the animals are in pens and cages that are not large enough for them. ( What is a Puppy Mill? 6). In the mills the puppies are overcrowded in small spaces. Puppies need the room to exercise and have to room to be comfortable. Moreover, “ In some cases, their matting and confinement are so extreme that their fur actually grows into the cage, pinning the dog in one spot.” Dogs can’t live just sitting in one spot. They do not have room to lie down, exercise, eat, etc. If the dogs even try to move, they can pull their fur out or cause pain. As well, the puppies are removed from their mothers when they are only about 7 weeks old. Then, ten or more puppies are crammed in a small cage to be transported causing the puppies to be scared and have many illnesses or conditions caused by neglect and stress (Puppy Mills, Pet Shops, and the AKC Basic Facts 6). When the puppies are 7 weeks old, they should be with their mother and their littermates. The puppies are still learning at 7 weeks old and they miss out. When they go home with their owners they could end up being nippy or not socializing
Call to Action: Challenge your audience to be a responsible pet consumer and not purchase dogs from pet stores or from the Internet. I encourage you to instead, adopt from their local animal shelter. At an animal shelter, you can find many amazing, healthy animals. If you do buy from a breeder, use extreme caution and ask to see the puppy’s parents. Also, please contact your congressional representative and encourage him or her to help pass the PUPS bill.
In these mills, the people who are in charge of the dogs, also known as breeders, are breeding female dogs left and right. Not only are they breeding every chance they get, but they are performing this task in very unsanitary conditions, which causes serious health issues for these animals in the mills. While puppy mills can help people who want to find a breed of dog that is hard to find, puppy mills need to be terminated due to the puppies being mistreated and abused, the overpopulation of dogs causing euthanization, and the breeders getting paid for selling the abused canines. There are about ten thousand puppy mills nationwide. There may be even more puppy mills than we know because they are unlicensed and do it in their own homes.
Puppies from pet stores are adorable, and everyone wants one. Unfortunately, those puppies have a twisted past. Almost all of them were from puppy mills. Puppy mills are where puppies are bred. They are awful, and the breeders do not treat them right. According to an article on Friendsofanimals.org called ‘Puppy Mills, Pet Shops, and the AKC Basic Facts’, pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills. Puppy mill breeders don’t care about the dogs. Puppy mills hurt dogs and the government must stop them by making them illegal and working to eliminate the remaining ones.
Factory farming has changed drastically over past 6 decades. We often believe that our food comes from a peaceful, happy farm, but in reality farm animals are put through misery on a daily basis. Regardless of whether it is an independent farm or contracted farm, livestock is mistreated and then harvested for meat or dairy production. The way production animals are treated on factory farms should change for the safety of the animals and the people who consume them.
Puppy mills, according to the ASPCA, are high-volume establishments that commercially breed puppies on an intensive basis and in typically depraved conditions that effects the overall health and welfare of the animals (ASPCA). Animal abuse is the infliction of harm of suffering by humans upon any non-human animal. Animal abuse is almost always found in puppy mills which is a problem that many people unfortunately overlook. Although puppy mill operators often believe that dogs are livestock and can be treated with disrespect, puppy mills should be abolished because they promote animal abuse, they contribute to pet overpopulation, and they cause physical and mental harm to the dogs and their offspring.
Do you want many dogs to die? In my opinion you don’t so we should stop shelters to euthanize them or kill them. Did you know that shelters often kill pets each day. It should be against the law to euthanize animals at shelters because it is inhuman, that most pet stores are supporting a puppy mill and just to make more money
Puppy mills are mass breeding facilities that show little to no care for animals. They are created so companies can breed animals to make purebreds. The animals are not well taken care of and many of them die from either disease or giving birth too many times in their life span. There should be laws and guidelines to regulate the operation of puppy mill facilities. Puppy mills bring torture to animals and need to be stopped.
First, puppy mills are inhumane. According to the video “Puppies Are Not Toys,” puppy mill dogs are like plush dog toys. They are “manufactured with others” meaning that they are basically mass-produced like the plush toys and when they receive no attention they become like the toy that nobody wanted to buy (ASPCA).
Puppy mills are large-scale commercial dog breeding operation where profit is important than well-being of animals. Most puppy mill puppies are sold to pet shops and sell as young as 8 weeks old.
One of the biggest unintentional ways of animal cruelty is a way that many people think is helpful but is actually has a negative impact on all of the animals involved, this idea is trying to take in more animals than one can handle, they have good intentions but this is harmful to animals because it forces them to live in unhealthy conditions. There are many new cases of animal hoarding every year, with over 250,000 animals falling victim. Puppy mills are large dog breeder’s that care more about making money than the wellbeing and health of the animals. Many dogs become ill with diseases such as kidney or heart disease as a result of the conditions in which they live. There are those people, however, that DO abuse animals on purpose.
Buying a puppy from the pet store might be one of the most phenomenal moments in a life. Unfortunately, puppy mills sell their malnourished dogs to pet stores. Puppy mills are huge kennels where pure bred puppies are crowded together in unsanitary housing with no food. Dogs who did no wrong to this world do not deserve to live in these conditions. The amount of puppy mills are increasing and must be stopped by adopting dogs from shelters, not buying puppies from pet stores and putting stronger laws into action.
