Puppy Mills And Their Brutal Existence (The Horrible Truth)
When we buy a pet or even shop in a store sells puppies, that we contribute to a heartless underground industry that forces dogs to spend their entire lives in cages constantly breeding to support consumer demand for puppies [.] Will the Humane Society Web site (http: / / stoppuppymills.org).
Puppy Mills are a harsh reality of today's dog breeding industry. Certainly, not all puppies, which bought and sold in PET Stores came from a puppy mill, but it is shocking to hear the truth of these horrific mass dog breeding houses. These dogs are bred and raised with sometimes up to hundreds of other dogs at a time. This is a serious health hazard for these newborn puppies, because their cages are often dirty and unkempt. Living conditions like these practically beg for disease and viruses to enter and grow in the puppies' bodies, destruction, chaos on their health and their immune systems. Many puppy mill pets are not spayed or neutered, because they are neither the proper vaccinations and preventive medications needed , for their health and wellbeing. The majority of puppies, bred puppies in the mills are actually sold online or through newspaper ads, even if some are not in PET shops nationwide. Many of these puppy mills claim to sell "pure bred" dogs, but this is not always the case. If these dogs are bred in Puppy Mills, they also do not have the necessary and crucial contacts between people and society. Dogs are affectionate and companionable animals if they are denied daily affection and interaction with adults and children, they suffer emotionally and mentally.
So, what can you do to help? The Humane Society recommends refusing to buy products or puppies from PET shops, which buy and sell dogs. You never know where the puppies have come from. If people do not buy puppies in the PET business, there will be a significant loss of demand, that hopefully results in these puppy mills go out of business. Also, if you want to buy a new PET, adoption is a wonderful alternative. You get a healthy, happy pet, the house has probably already broken, spayed or neutered and vaccinated, the best part is you will not be supporting the puppy mills through your personal purchase of a puppy from a pet store.
Of course, there are more active ways you can help. The Humane Society urges people to diligently spread the word about the harsh realities of puppy mills, inform their friends of the Stop Puppy Mills website (see above) and a monetary donation to the Humane Society. It is easy to make a donation online, and it only takes a few minutes of your time if you feel compelled to give. There is also a page that people interested in ideas for additional support for the stop puppy mills, such as lobbying for new laws which aid in the closure of these mills. Becoming active in a cause, such as halting puppy mill production is a rewarding and satisfying experience. Consider in the Humane Society in their fight against puppy mills.
