Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Another suggestion ? Puppy Mill Help Section ? I noticed a big response to the Puppy Mill Threads we posted the other day - Someone mentioned maybe could we maybe have a section dedicated to helping with this awful problem ? I think it was a really good idea.... that way people wouldn't have to search the main board - if someone read a thread that caught their interest - it would all be in once place for those who want to help spread the word .... I know there are many good links and letters in the threads about Mills and Pet stores... and not everyone wants to read those threads - but for those of us that do....I would love to see them all in one place if this can be arranged. this is just a thought and thanks Admin !! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Helloooooooooo Admin ? I know how busy you've been with the server and how many sections this site has already but is this feasable ? There are still so many people who don't really know this is such a problem in this country. If I beg and whine will that help ? |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | The rest time is over - I guess the answer is a no.... I found THIS today and wanted to share - it's horrifying - HERE IS WHERE PET STORE PUPPIES are born into and they parents are doomed to live in. FACTS about Puppy Mills Dogs are bred & rebred every time they come into heat. They live outside most of the time in cages with wire bottoms where they get caught and tear they legs or worse. Sometimes these are stacked where the feces & urine does down into the cages below. Outside in hot or cold temperatures Rain snow it doesn't matter. They are not protected. Many times there are several in one cage crowded and crapped The filth is enough to make them sick and there is no vetinerary care for those who are or are injured. They are never left out of their cages- never loved or handled. Babies are born with defects from the abuse. They are inter bred which can lead to more defects. They are feed only enough to keep them alive. Most of the time the food bowls are empty and no water. Some places ram pipes down their throats to keep them from barking. Puppies are taken from the mothers long before it is time. They are shipped in trucks sometimes across states overcrowded and not taken care of. Brokers take them to pet stores to sell. They have not been checked for defects or any diseases. When a puppymill puppy is bought – the owner can end up paying thousands of dollars because of the conditions they were bred and transported in. A lot don't even make it. They die before they ever get to the pet stores. If they are deformed and not good for more breeding they are killed in inhumane ways. They are never socialized. They never get out of they cages. Many of these puppies are born with genetic conditions of the heart and lungs, seizures which sometimes don't show up for years. Many of them have parvo, worms, mange, and various other disorders. Even if they come with registration papers – it does not mean they came from good breeding conditions. The AKC receives revenue from the millers for these registrations When the parents are no longer useful to the millers they are disposed of- (shot- beat or what ever methods they want to use. )

| I'm confused.....is Millbusters not online anymore? Admin created an entire website dedicated to this issue with a direct link right? I thought that was so phenonmenal! I just checked...Millbusters is still there. Why don't you want to post the Puppymill stuff there? |

I KNOW they are reading this site and thought maybe a small section dedicated to helping educate people would be nice and actually get read..plus it would keep them in one place rather than in General Discussion where they get lost. Don't you agree ? Why would we NOT want something here ? People really do read the threads here - I can tell by the views | |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I think its a great idea!! unfortunatly, Millbusters seems to have died. hardly anyone posts there anymore.
