Cute Puppy Mills

In the Americas, the desire to own pets for many families. It's just something about a new puppy, the good fortune to be home. There are many places to buy a puppy, PET saves a popular choice. If we go to the Pet Store, we always seem to fall in love with that little fur ball behind the window. But has anyone ever wonder where these puppies came from? They were certainly not born here, at the corner pet shop. Have we ever get to see the parents of these puppies? Have we ever wonder whether the puppies were born in the best conditions? They have the right care, accommodation, food, water, and exercise of their breeders? It would be a wake-up call, if only every family in America knew the answers to these questions.
The over crowded and unhygienic conditions in puppy mills were a growing problem for decades. The breeding facilities are often dirty and horrible. The smell of urine overwhelmed these institutions. Stagnant water sits in a bowl that no dog is nearby. In cages were piles of dog excrement, which is for too long. It is not unusual that a dead dog to lay it to red for day. If this sounds like the place you want to buy your puppy from? Several dogs spend most of their lives behind the bars of a cage. Within these tiny cages they begin to develop psychological problems, which they stir-crazy, what they are, even in a circle until they fall down. You do not get to run or play around and some never May as part of a family. These dogs never even a hair brush, which results in fur matted so some can not even open their eyes, let alone walk around without the constant pulling of hair from all nodes. Often times the teeth so rotten that the dogs tongue hangs from his or her mouth the whole time. These dogs are constantly bread and if they are no longer useful for breeders by the loss of fertility, they are given away, left on the road somewhere, or killed.
Numerous complaints have been filed because of purchases of sick puppies from PET saves. At first it just seems that the dogs are very shy or tired, but the truth is they are suffering. People buy them at the end and usually begin to see signs that the dog is sick. If they do not notice the signs right away and take the puppy to a veterinarian, the puppy is usually the disease from what he had. After learning of the conditions for the puppy mills, it does not surprise me that these puppies are sick. It goes back to the fact that we need to know where the puppies for sale, we will come. We need to see their parents and the breeders. If someone had gone to puppy mill itself to buy a puppy, there is no way they would with a smile. A sick puppy would be an automatic guarantee.
Each year an estimated 5 million dogs and cats are euthanized in animal shelters. This means that about 7000 dogs are euthanized every day. Well, imagine if 7,000 people buy a puppy from a pet store every day. They are fueling the cycle of puppy mills, because PET stores are usually supplied by them. If these people diverted their source and adopted a dog from a shelter, they would be saving the lives of 7,000 dogs. But as long as puppy mills Keep going strong, we are never to break this cycle. The only way that the puppy mills may be shut down May, when they no longer make a profit. The other possibility is that stricter laws are in for puppy breeding facilities, but we all know that there are ways around the law.
We can not possibly count the amount of stray dogs roaming the streets, so keep that in mind as well. Sometimes people in Strays, but in most cases they are only the eyes. In some cases, people take the problem of Strays into their own hands and kill the dog itself. There were reported cases like this, we may not know this amounts to the growing list of dogs die each year.
In this sense, I believe that the only way we can break the vicious circle is to stop supporting puppy mills. Either people do not know this terrible cycle or they simply do not care. The best way to stop this viscous cycle is from an animal shelter or buy from a trusted, reputable breeder. Can we possibly resist, in a pet store and buy a cute puppy on impulse? Can we set aside our own desires to save thousands of dog's life? It sounds so easy, but nothing seems to change.
