Thanks for spreading the word. It is more justification for NEVER buying a dog without being able to see FIRST HAND where they live and how they are kept. The rare exception would be if you had a good reliable reference who had been there to see the operation and could be trusted to convey a valid report.
I also, hope you have contacted the authorites and the news agencies to report this horrible situation. It is beyond my imagination how human beings can be so cruel to such sweet, innocent animals. I look at mine and just cringe to think others just like them (or at least dogs that had the potential to be just like them) are being treated so inhumanely.
Hopefully all will push for harsher penalties for those who run puppymills and make what they do against the law. At least make sure there is something more than a minor fine for abusing animals like this! I am thankful to this site where I saw videos of teh sort of conditions you are describing and worse. I never realized just how horrible a puppymill was. It had never occurred to me that they would really have so little regard for the welfare of the animals that were putting $$$ in their pockets. |
