Puppy Mills will never be eradicated because of the amount of money they make AND the "instant gratification" mind-set so many of us seem to have. A pet shop/puppy miller would not make the sales and money they do if 1) we did not have to get what we want as soon as we think about it-impulse buying and 2) if they didn't offer credit plans that allow you to buy now-pay later... Those are probably 2 of the simplest reasons they will be here long after the responsible breeders and owners are gone. Puppy mills were nearlly non-existent 20 years ago. Now, they are rampant..
We can tippy-toe around this subject and worry about hurting someone's feelings or being threatened with legal action being taken. Hurt feelings will heal; the forsaken little puppy souls will be dead forever.. |
