This is just absolutely terrible. Go to real breeders if you want a dog - don’t be lazy and purchase one online!!!

The Humane Society of the USA is trying to crack down on the amount of puppy mills in the united states, they say there are hundreds of puppy mills across the country. All of these dogs live in inhumane conditions, with cages on top of each other and forcing the dogs to breed excessively with no veterinary care. The puppies purchase online are not healthy as the website says due to being born in such unsanitary conditions. The website gives false information about their puppies and post deceiving pictures of their most healthy dogs. Be careful where you purchase a dog if you are in the market for one. Make sure you meet the breeders and the puppy before your purchase, that way you know the puppy is right for you and they were not born in a terrible puppy mill!

Stop Puppy Mills

Sign the pledge from the Humane Society Legislative Fund to help stop puppy mills. PLEASE!! Facts:  Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and often unsanitary conditions, without adequate health care, food, water or human company. The breeding dogs are bred as often as possible to increase profits and probably will never see life outside of the puppy mill. The owners rarely pay attention to the health or happiness of the dogs. Puppy mills often generate health problems for the dogs they are selling. The puppies may have immediate health problems such as respiratory infections or pneumonia and some even have genetic diseases that show up years later. Breeding dogs suffer continuously, imprisoned in small cramped cages, often soiled with their own excrement, breeding litter after litter till they can no longer reproduce. No states have laws against a breeding kennel legally keeping dozens of dogs in cages for their entire lives, if food, water, and shelter are provided. Thousands of puppy mills aren’t even regulated or inspected by the USDA, since many of them sell directly to the public. The average puppy mill has between 65 and 75 animals housed in hutch-style cages with wire floors. The waste drops to the ground below and accumulates beneath the cage where flies and other gross things fester. Dogs at puppy mills are often not actually purebred, and the breeders sometimes lie about lineage records. Dogs housed in indoor facilities deal with equally terrible conditions, with ammonia vapors and odors permeating badly aired buildings. Solid surfaces aim to protect the legs of puppies, but as they mature and scout out their surroundings, feet and legs often fall through wire floors designed to allow excrement to fall through. The resulting injuries compound their misery. Unlicensed puppy mills often sell puppies at six weeks of age even though federal laws prohibit licensed mills from selling puppies under eight weeks of age. Will you sign this pledge from the Humane Society Legislative Fund to help make 2012 the year to crack down on puppy mills once and for all?
