I live in the united kingdom, and go on a website called pets4homes.co.uk most days to look at what dogs are advertised. It is basically a classified website where anyone can advertise pets for sale, i used it last year and bougt 2 dogs and im now looking for a dog for my nan.
Since discovering the website in February 2008 I noticed that there were lots of different adverts for small breeds of dogs which all had the same telephone number, some weeks this person advertises 10 litters of puppies they sometimes advertise older dogs and from the pictures, they dont look in the best condition. 3 months ago i telephoned the RSPCA (its the uk equivilent to the spca) and made them aware that this breeder was advertising 30 to 50 dogs per week and i susspected it was a puppy mill, they took the details i gave them and it appears that nothing has been done as the same people are still advertising.
It is a disgrace that people shud be allowed to keep dogs in such inhumane conditions in order to sell the dogs for profit. These people are not dog lovers they are GREEDY, i dont know how they can spend their money without conscience knowing that they earned it through cruelty to animals. When i see these adverst and i look at the dogs eyes they dont look healthy like young dogs eyes should their eyes look like they are dead, and they probally rather would be than spending 24 hours a day every day in cramped dirty cages with no shelter from wind rain and snow. The rspca have done noything about it so what can i do, any suggestions?
