| Hi...do you know me??? I am a purebred Yorkshire Terrier. Pardon my appearance, maybe you didn't recognize me. I've been so busy making babies and it's hard to stay pretty when you live in filth and never bathe. Maybe you know one of my children, there are hundreds of them out there in the world. I know not where. They were taken from me so young. I hope they have forgotten me, anyway, and this horrible place I can never leave, this tiny cage with its wire floor is my world, I have never left it, it all I know. Is there something else? I know this cage, I know loneliness, I know fear, I know pain, I know sickness, I know hunger, I know thirst...I know I make babies. That's all I know. Is there more? Why are you here? I only know humans mean hurt. What do you mean help? What is Kindness? What is love? What is there beside what I know? Will you show me? Will you not forget me here? I want to know what else there is beside this hell I live in. Help me please, I can not help myself. There is a bill in the US Congress that will help dogs in puppy mills all over the country, the PUPS Act. House-HR835, Senate-S707. So far 25% of representatives have signed on in support. Please use the link: Contact Elected Officials | USA.govto find your US (not state) Senator and Representatives and write or call, much more effective than email, to encourage them to support the PUPS Act. PLEASE REPOST!!! PUT AN END TO THIS INDUSTRY FOREVER! TOGETHER WE WILL BE HEARD! MAKE OUR GOVERNMENT LISTEN AND DO NOT STOP UNTIL PUPPY MILLS ARE OUTLAWED AND ANIMALS ARE PROTECTED! Be their voice and their guardian angel, end the suffering of these innocents, once and for all!

| I saw this on FB this morning Jodi and it made me cry. It makes my blood boil to think any of God's creatures can be treated this way. I hope everyone takes the time to write their elected officials about this bill.

| So sad There is a puppy mill about an hour south of me.. I wish I could just go get the dogs and find them homes. I know for a fact they have at least 200 breeding dogs.. several different breeds. I was there a few years ago. The dogs are fed and watered and bathed and clipped but they still live in small wire bottom cages and are used as puppy factories Now, I heard the lady opeend a pet shop and is selling her mill puppies from the pet shop

There could even be people right here on YT that are doing this for all that we know. Just think about it for a second and answer this question....... Do you really know who is sitting behind the computer selling puppies? I've talked to people that "thought" their breeder was great but then too far after the purchase they find out the dirty truth. Then what? Just take a look at the Sick and Injured Forum and all of the sick puppies. It's BUYER BEWARE!

| Maddie was in a place like that when they found her. I Thank God everyday she was to young to have been breed yet. She has a deformity on her toes on a paw from the wire cage that she was kept in. It breaks my heart every time i look at it. She also has a pellet or BB on her shoulder under the skin (the xray showed us what it was). God only knows why someome would shoot her??? I feel it everytime i pet her and it hurts me so bad when i look into her eyes..and wonder what shes been thru. Im just glad she and many others were taken away from that place. When i adopted her from the rescue, she was so scared of everything, as well as super shy and Terrifed of men. She didnt know what love was, or a toy or even what grass felt like under her feet. Shes now is a healthy,loving silly little girl. shes not afraid of my husband anymore and she loves her toys and playing outside. She is my baby she knows it. Its taken alot of time and love to get her to this point. And sometimes i wonder if she remebers that place not so long ago. I only hope shes forgotten it, but i know she hasnt. I pray it passes!

| The thought of everything they go through just makes me sick. Those poor babies are nothing but money makers. They don't know love or anything. It just breaks my heart. maddieadoptedme, I read that and my eyes are just filled with tears. I am so glad that you ended up with her. And that she is able to have a loving life like she deserves.

| I just think that that's what Gizmo's Momma was in, and it makes me sick. How could anyone look at those poor little faces and not just break down?

It just breaks my heart to know there are many others out there that are in the same place and worse. People that do this to animals should have to live the life the same way that they have forced these poor animals to live.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Oh my! This is just heartbreaking! I too just do not understand people who can do this to any living creature. It's just the worst thing imaginable!!! So sad!
