i always wondered what would happen to them. would they be rescued and given good homes? it is not their fault they were bred through puppy mills.
it's just a sad situation any way you look at it. |
yes i do understand what your saying but there's a differance between if they are rescued or if someone buys them. if someone buys them you are spending a lot of money and more than likely being lied to about where they come from. eventually if no one buys them then they will go to a rescue or something where they will find a good home. if you buy them from a petstore you're supporting the puppy mills because most of the profit goes to them. not to mention if they go to a rescue the puppy mills get nothing and they have nothing to breed on. but the thing is, there is a very small chance that they will ever be completley wiped out. there are always the people who will go and buy the puppies. and everytime someone buys that breed of puppy guess what happens. they call the mill and tell them they need more. then the poor mom has to go through the pain all over again. the place we got bandit gets their dogs from puppy mills, he is one of the reasons i am now so passionate about this subject. my parents went back to get the check for them and guess what there was a new yorkie puppy there. its just that these are terriable places, you can report them and the police will get rid of the mill. but you know what the people will just set up some where else. the only way we can really get rid of them completley is to not buy from pet stores that sell puppies, period. i hope no one is offened by my post because i don't want it to sound mean but thats the way it is.
