Perhaps saving the dogs that live in filth and suffering all the days of their lives would be a reason NOT to buy from a puppy mill. There are thousands of dogs being kept in filthy cages and forced to produce litter after litter of puppies in order to satisfy the desires of people who care nothing about the suffering that the adult dogs endure just so they can obtain that cute little puppy. When these dogs have served their purpose they suffer horrible deaths or are tied to a post at a local shelter. What about the dogs that are live in that puppy mill? Those are the ones we want to save! The poor mother dogs that never see light of day and are never let out of that tiny cage, and who are filthy from laying in uncleaned cages. That is where your cute little puppy comes from.
If you can close your eyes to that kind of suffering and say your not a puppy snob then you have missed the point of the whole issue. These animals are suffering horribly. That is the issue! Not who rescues the puppy that happened to make it out of a puppy mill alive! This is not about one dog being better than another because of where it came from. It is about stopping the suffering of those who LIVE and DIE in the puppy mill. |
