To whom it may concern,
I am outraged at what i've just read. Your state is allowing yet ANOTHER puppy mill to be built. Do you not know what goes on in these places, or do you not care? Lancaster county is KNOWN for amish puppy mills and the abuse they inflict upon animals.
Those poor dogs will be shoved in cages and forced to give birth to litter after litter until they die. The only reason for this is greed! None of these "puppy mills" care about their dogs. They just use them to make a buck.
Would it be legal if someone adopted 50-70 children, and made them work non stop for their keep (as in a sweat shop)? The only difference between that and a puppy mill, is the dogs aren't able to speak for themselves, while children can. They are living, breathing creatures and they deserve to live an abuse free life.
A puppy mill is death row for dogs. They are being punished, just for being born. Not only are they kept in cages 24 hours a day (without EVER getting out to play or have a bath), but they are beaten, starved, and never get medical attention from a licensed vet. Without medical attention, there's no way of knowing if they have genetic deffects, which can and will be passed down to their young.
Something needs to be done to stop this atrocity! If you've ever had a dog, cat or any other animal, do it for them. Do it for their freedom. You can make a difference. Stand up for them! Speak for those who cannot speak for themselves! Do a segment on what really goes on in these places. Show the world that you are good people!
DOWN WILL PUPPY MILLS!
