I can't tell you how many people I've talked to thru the years had no idea what a puppy mill is until they joined sites like this. Even me.
I found out 15 years ago only because I read it on a forum and found out that my 1st dog Tessa (cocker spaniel) was actually a puppy mill puppy. I learned my lesson and read everything I could about them ...and to this day - support ANYONE who speaks out against them. It can't be said enough.
Even on my website I have a page dedicated to abuse of animals with links to sites that are really hard to see but harsh reality. Puppy Mills need to be stopped. The same with pet stores that sell puppies - i.e. PETLAND. Many people have no idea Petland is the biggest customer of puppy mills.
Registries such as the one you're speaking about are only about making money any way they can.... which includes registering puppy mill dogs. I know lots of people have APRI registered dogs but I highly doubt they intended to support puppy mills. You have a chance to make a choice knowing this in advance. |
Do you remember when Oprah spoke out and how shocked people were and this was just a couple of years ago. The public does not like to know about these horrible conditions many animals live in..so choose to ignore it. Sad..
