I saw a program on the Tv the other day and it disgusted me about the Puppy mil's where the breeders of animals have hundreds of dogs pruerly for the purposse of breeding the condition these animals were in was hideous completly blackend with fleas and cramped into tiny cages litterded with puppies and with all their fur matted.
It just really makes me sick that people can do this to animals its just wrong!
i saw sumthing like that on RSPCA animal rescue. i dont know how people can let their dogs live in conditions like these. its like torture for animals. its cruelty. and the RSPCA don't have enuf power to stop this. they dont have enuf power to fine these poeple and fine them hard. puppy mills suck and i reckon everyone should buy their dog from the pound. save its life maybe. its much better than supporting Pupy Mills by buying their puppies.
and you know that people have become so obsessed with pure breeding that the poor dogs are getting all wrong - some dogs noses are so squished in they have trouble breathing, and otheres legs are too skinny, etc.
People need to be educated about where dogs from, most people are ignorant that their cute little pup (unless its from a shelter) probably comes from a puppy farm.
If you dont' know, you might be interested that ALV has a long running campaign on this topic. You can read a blog about it at www.prisonersforprofit.org.
I have heard of this too! The best way to prevent this is get a pet from the RSPCA. Especially when it comes to Christmas time, thousands of animals are bought from pet shops and then dumped as unwanted pets at the RSPCA.
