| That is so sad. Dogs have feelings just like humans do...they have so many dogs trying to make money, they don't have time to give them love! |

| Theo was also a puppy mill pup. I got him as a rescue, since his first 'parents' gave him up for 'not acting enough like a puppy'--meaning he didn't know how to play, or interact. They were right. Once Theo was taken out, he would just stand there and shake, stalk still, and he was HORRIFIED of the outdoors. Grass was the boogey monster to my little guy. It was terrible, and took many months to fully reverse. Now Theo is well adjusted. He still doesn't bark, and doesn't really act like a normal dog, but is getting there. Please don't forget to include Amish puppy farms from Pennsylvania in our battle. They are evil and dirty places, and Theo's birthplace. When I did a search into the one that Theo came from, I found out his neighbors were complaining of how he always had a pile of dead dogs behind his ranch (that he would set it on fire). That is just sick.

| As a rule, the Amish that run puppy mills consider them a cash crop, nothing more. They do not have tender feelings for animals. |

| My last pup came from a puppymill I am a pet portrait artist and drove to a lady's house to take photos of her favorite dog for a possible painting. Out of one of the buildings full of barking dogs, wobbled this little dark brindled Cairn Terrier puppy carrying her food bowl in a determined way and plopped it down as if to say, "I want food!" We talked about how cute she was and the lady showed me LOTS of different dogs and puppies. The ones I saw were clean and fed but were in cramped quarters. There were dogs in other buildings I didn't get to see; she didn't allow me to follow her. I hadn't realized we had such places so close to home. I asked how much she wanted for the Cairn; she gave me a price and I dickered with her because the pup had no tail. She said it didn't matter; she would just use her as a breeder if she didn't sell. The lady said the puppy came from one of her best breeders, an Amish man in Pennsylvania. I thought, "No way was she going to spend her life in a cage like that!". So, I came home with her . . . and, she still grabs up the empty food bowl and brings it to you when she or her step-sisters want food. She's so smart. I know I shouldn't buy from a puppy mill . . . but, I just couldn't leave her behind; I just couldn't. Puppy mills must be stopped! |

| Here in Montreal and Quebec city we had a march in April against the puppymills. In Montreal we were 300 walkers, it was the first event done by a new association trying to fight against those horrible things that are puppymills. We are trying also to educated people about what's are the conditions behind the cute little face they saw in the pet shop.
