I am sick with disbelief. I have this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I cant help but cry as I read on about puppy mills. I never really knew what they were. I just knew they were bad.
While searching the web for belly bands, I came across this website. They sell items to raise money in order to rescue, and give medical attention to these dogs.
As I browsed the pages I came across some horrific stories of a few different people who have walked those terrible steps through puppy mills. There's even a story of one woman's experience at an auction and how she saved a few whippits.
The images this woman saw...the abused, malnurished and underage animals. OMG. The greedy auctioneers! Puppies taken away from their mothers at only 4 weeks old. Dogs getting their jaws broken just for barking.
HOW CAN PEOPLE DO THIS! HOW IS THIS SH*T EVEN LEGAL!
I don't know that I will ever get a good night sleep again after reading this. I feel even worse that I never knew how bad these dogs had it. Here I am complaining because I don't have enough money this week to get something I want, and these poor creatures get NOTHING! I feel so selfish for ever thinking "things could be better". No matter how bad the times can be for me, or anyone, it can NEVER be as bad as what these poor babies are going through.
Dogs kept alive (barely) just so they can be bred everytime they are in heat. Twice a year, every year until the day they die! They live to reproduce and that's it. The diseases, the pain and suffering, they lonelyness (sp) the stench of death and fecal matter. OMG THE HORROR
