I would LOVE to believe that by not buying a "puppy mill" puppy, it would eradicate these mills..but the truth is that as long as greed exists in this world...there will be people who will try to use defenseless animals as a commodity. I'm just saddened at the choice we have to make....to save ONE life...or turn our heads away...and walk on..in the HOPE that by doing so, humanity will come to its senses.

This is a terrific point...in fact i know people who do this and call their dog a "rescue" dog cuz they rescued him in their eyes. I too believe that as long as it is legal and no mistreatment is happening there will always be dogs for sale and breeders making money from it.
