| Former Puppymill employee and what he witnessed Warning~this could be upsetting to some. Former puppymill employee talks about what he saw at 2 mills that work for and what he witnessed there. Very upsetting..............

| Sick What is wrong with people? Money should not hold this kind of power over people or animals. I actually had no idea about what a puppymill was until I came here how naive of me. Guess I just never considered people would be using poor babies as a means to make money

| Jodi I cant bring myself to watch this right now but I will. This is an issue that makes me sick. Thanks for your work to being awareness to this for those who don't know and for reminding those of us that do know to never forget.

This man is my hero~he is speaking out and trying to make a very positive change from his experiences while working in the mills. He took notes of the things that he was witness to while working at two different mills. I wish there were more employees willing to come forward to bring the horrific lives that these poor dogs are subjected to while spending their lives filling the pockets of the millers and the pet shops where people purchase puppies.

| It is a cruelty that is perpetuated endlessly across the country.

| Wow. I know all these things go on at puppymills but hearing it from someone who worked there first hand is even more unsettling. I can't stop the tears. I can't believe my Lane lived the first two years of her life like this either. It's miracle she is the sweet little girl she is today. I must say I really respect this man for speaking out on what he witnessed. So many would go along with it for the almightly dollar or even just quit and not breathe of a word of it. I really hope he helps to open up some eyes that otherwise wouldn't have been opened. I feel like once people know better there is no excuse to support this disgusting "industry."

| Found this thread and I think alot of people who come on here and write about "does anyone know anything about (whatever pet store)" should be directed to this site immediately. This is sad! |

| WOW! People need to be aware of puppy mills and I'm glad this former employee is speaking out. I'm happy that when his boss said get "rid" of them he made sure to get them rescued instead of exterminated.
