Lot's of the Puppy millers in Pennsylvania are Amish. The Amish, is a Christian religion that has some pretty old-fashioned principals. One of their main beliefs is that electricity is forbidden and these people are literally living in the 1800s. No television, computers or anything that gives them access to any new information. Its no wonder that the dogs are treated like livestock, however, I don't even think livestock should have to live in these conditions. The truth of the matter is that the puppy miller rarely makes the big bucks off these dogs. The sell them to brokers who sell them to pet stores and have cute website. We have to stop buying from petstores and websites if we really want to have a real impact on the puppy mill situation. |
