While healthy, wonderful dogs are exterminated by the millions in shelters due to lack of homes, pet stores like
Petland continue to sell puppies as fast as they possibly can, making weekly orders from the Hunte Corporation.
Hunte puts these tiny, frightened, helpless, and fragile puppies in cramped cages on its trucks and takes them on the bumpy, unhealthy ride to pet stores up to 1,000 miles away. These puppies can die quickly, but their parents endure a lifetime of suffering as they spin, chew, dig, bark, and finally give up all hope of escaping the misery of puppy mills.
The Hunte Corporation is currently the largest puppy broker in the U.S. It is based in Goodman, Missouri. It buys puppies from puppy mills in several Midwestern states and then sells them to pet stores all over the country, including many
Petlands.
