Your right. They are very bad places. A puppy mill takes purebred dogs of questionable quality and breeds them until they cannot be bred anymore. They keep the dogs in very small filthy cages and are never let out. The puppies are taken away at a very young age and shipped to various brokers and pet stores across the country. Many of them die but that is OK with these people because they breed on such a large scale they can afford to lose a few pups.
Many people have bought sickly puppies from these places. Many have genetic disorders that can cause long term suffering or even death. It's a very bad idea but the public can't seem to resist these adorable looking puppies. I don't deny the puppies are adorable and it is certainly not their fault but buying one of these puppies is supporting the disgusting people who abuse these poor animals for their own profit. Remember the mother of that adorable puppy is still sitting in a filthy little cage and is probably about to be bred again.
