Garrett MickleyMore on Puppy Mills
I recently posted in regards to the problem of puppy mills in the US. I have seen many of them, but it seems as though this is more of a problem then I could even imagine. I open AOL. Which is my who is my Internet is though. The front page comes up with news of a puppy mill/animal hoarder being shut down. We are not talking about 50 or even 100 dogs here. There were 800. YES I SAID 800. Among these were Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Terriers and Chinese Crested. These dogs were being housed in a mobile home. The authorities mention the smell, as being strong referring to the sent of urine and feces.
Authorities say that there are many pregnant, and some were even giving birth as they were being transported to the local shelter in Arizona. The dogs are not the only problem. There were also 82 caged parrots. This is a disgrace. What is wrong with people. These people were out for money. They were selling these puppies for profit. Its sad that people can not get out and get a REAL job. Instead they stay home to raise countless litters of puppies, Kittens or clutches of birds. And we wonder why we have an over population of animals in this world. Countess animals are put down every day. When will we stop the madness. Makes me sick to think about.
It brings me back to a story I heard about 2 months ago. Involving Giant Schnauzers, and Poodles. This Puppy Mill was located about an hour from my home. The dogs were standing in mud, water, poop, and urine. When the authorities showed up they found deer carcases in the pens. Apparently the woman could not afford to feed the dogs so she went to the local deer processor and got the carcass to feed the dogs. These dogs were matted. It was awful. How could you treat an animal that way. How can we unite and stop this mess?
One way is do not buy a puppy from a pet store. They get their puppies from puppy mills. Another research breeders, find one with one breed, go to their home, meet all of their dogs.
