I wish these same people would help save animals rather than making $$$ off of them. You might want to start driving around your state and see how some of these dogs are living and soon winter is coming.
I also have to disagree with you in regards to "stop talking about puppy mills" because I see it all the time on YT where members still go and buy dogs from pet stores. The american public does not have a clue that this is going on. As long as dogs have to live in this misery then I will continue to talk about it along with many other members on YT. Your state is one of the worse in the nation and it is going to take the citizens of your state to change the laws. Puppymills - Information about puppy mills and how to shut them down. |
have you ever noticed when looking at those so called humane societies and pounds that almost NONE of the dogs in them are purebred...they are almost all mutts!???!!??
it's not the breeders who are putting dogs in pounds, it's the owners who either get a dog that isn't right for their lifestyle, that they don't have the time, money or patience to train properly, or the farm dogs that run free and go into the neighbors yard and breeds their dog and then you have mutt puppies that no one wants because people WANT pure breds. breeders no matter how they breed are able to sell ALL of their puppies so long as they are healthy and being taken care of in a nice facility. people want the pure bred dogs, they want the toy dogs mostly and they want them fast and for a lot less money than the $1000++ that some people pay for them.
so though i don't condone the inhumane breeding of dogs, and i do support people who breed responsibly (which the people i was talking about do) i also know that pound puppies are not there because of a breeder, they are there because of the owners
