Puppies are so adorable, so why should they be treated so horribly? At puppy mills the dogs are treated very bad. Most dogs are either sick or get sick when they are brought from puppy mills. The owners of the puppy mills sometimes starve them and lock them up in confined spaces. I believe that puppy mills need to be shut down.
Puppy mills treat their dogs very poorly. They put profit over the health and well being of their dogs. I got my dog from a breeder and it is the sweetest, most loving, dog anyone could ask for, but I have a friend who just rescued their puppy from a puppy mill and it isn’t even allowed to walk on the ground yet because it didn’t receive the proper shots it needed, the puppy's mother was also treated very poorly. 99% of puppies sold in a pet store has a mother that will spend her life in a tiny cage, never being petted, never being walked, and never being

treated like a dog. These statements prove that dogs are treated poorly. Most puppies bought from a mill are either sick or will end up sick.
Nearly 100% of all puppies in pet stores have parasites when they are purchased. One puppy mill had their dogs just thrown in the basement, and one's jaw rotted into the bone. Often times the water and food provided for the puppies is contaminated, crawling with bugs. Puppies can even be malnourished, which means lacking nutrition. This proves that dogs from puppy mills are most likely to end up sick.
They sometimes starve the dogs, and they are always locked up in small, cramped cages. In puppy mills, dogs can spend most of their lives in these cages, with no room to play or exercise. Puppy mill kennels generally consists of small, outdoor wooden or wire cages or crates. Puppies constantly receive below standard food, minimal or no veterinary care. This evidence proves that puppies don't get the right treatment.
You could argue that the average person looking for a puppy for their kids goes to a pet shop first, but more and more people today are rescuing dogs instead of just going to the pet
shop. I believe that puppy mills need to be shut down. Dogs in puppy mills are treated unfairly, and poorly. Owners of puppy mills often have no idea what they are doing so puppies can end up sick or without shots. The dogs don’t receive good food and are thrown in cages where they can barely move. If puppy mills aren’t shut down puppies will keep dying, and people will think they have the right to operate puppy mills and treat the dogs unkindly.
A puppy mill is a horrible place that breeds dogs. Dogs that are breedable may get little to no recovery time between pregnancies. Dogs and puppies are stuffed into wire cages that can harm them. Puppy mills tend to be overcrowded disease and virus filled places. Puppy mills focus on profit rather than the health of the dogs. Many dogs are bred with little regard of genetic quality. Dogs in puppy mills are deprived of veterinary care, food, water, and socialization. If a dog is older and unable to breed anymore they are likely to be killed. Some dogs may never see the light of day or get any attention.
In these mills, the people who are in charge of the dogs, also known as breeders, are breeding female dogs left and right. Not only are they breeding every chance they get, but they are performing this task in very unsanitary conditions, which causes serious health issues for these animals in the mills. While puppy mills can help people who want to find a breed of dog that is hard to find, puppy mills need to be terminated due to the puppies being mistreated and abused, the overpopulation of dogs causing euthanization, and the breeders getting paid for selling the abused canines. There are about ten thousand puppy mills nationwide. There may be even more puppy mills than we know because they are unlicensed and do it in their own homes.
What is a Puppy Mill, How are animals being at Puppy Mills. Animals are being severely neglected by the owners. Responsible breeding practices end up killing. Animals get abused and usually are left to die with no food, water or even locked in a cage. Puppy mills are operating all over the U.S. After breeding for amount of times and don’t get time to recover and cant reproduce anymore are often killed off. Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, without care, food, water and socialization. Puppy mill dogs do not get to experience treats, toys, exercise or basic grooming. To minimize waste cleanup, dogs are often kept in cages with wire flooring that injures their paws and legs- and it is not unusual for cages to be stacked up in columns. Breeding dogs at mills might spend their entire lives outdoors, exposed to the elements, or crammed inside filthy structure where they never get the chance to feel the sun or breathe fresh air. Puppy Mills should be outlawed because some animals are being severely neglected and owners act out without regard to respons...
Hundreds of thousands of puppies are raised each year in commercial kennels (Puppymills Breed Misery). Puppy mills keep breed stock in horrible conditions for their short lives and produce unhealthy puppies with many issues. Not only are they committing “inhumane care,” but puppy mills are responsible for customer fraud. Many puppy mills are small and contain about twenty breeding dogs in basements, garages, or sheds “in cages stacked to the roof.” The dogs will stay in those cages without “exercise or sunlight.” Also, the dogs have two “litters” a year till about the age five. Other puppy mills contain hundreds of breeding dogs. The operators keep the puppies in “relative darkness” so the puppies seldom cry or draw attention. The dogs in puppy mills rarely receive medical attention. The females are dissipated because of the never-ending period of “producing and nursing litters.” Most dogs have “chronic ailments, rotten teeth, and ear, eye, and skin infections.” Many of the puppies purchased from puppy mills are un-healthy and not well-adjusted. The puppies have a high prevalence of hereditary syndromes and illnesses, and difficulties that occurs following the “purchase.” After the females cannot produce anymore liters...
“A dog is not a thing. A thing is replaceable. A dog is not. A thing is disposable. A dog is not. A thing does not have a heart. A dog’s heart is bigger than any “thing” you can ever own.” -Elizabeth Parker. According to the ASPCA, a puppy mill can be defined as “a large-scale commercial dog breeding facility where profit is given priority over the well-being of the dogs” (Puppy Mills 1). Dogs are more than just items that are sold for profit, they are part of many people’s families. The way dogs are being treated in the mills is not the way one would want someone in your family to be treated. Because puppy mills do not care for the animal’s health, wellbeing, or safety they should be banned federally.

Factory farming has changed drastically over past 6 decades. We often believe that our food comes from a peaceful, happy farm, but in reality farm animals are put through misery on a daily basis. Regardless of whether it is an independent farm or contracted farm, livestock is mistreated and then harvested for meat or dairy production. The way production animals are treated on factory farms should change for the safety of the animals and the people who consume them.
Puppy mills are mass breeding facilities that show little to no care for animals. They are created so companies can breed animals to make purebreds. The animals are not well taken care of and many of them die from either disease or giving birth too many times in their life span. There should be laws and guidelines to regulate the operation of puppy mill facilities. Puppy mills bring torture to animals and need to be stopped.
Puppy mills are bad for dogs. They hurt them by using wire cages, over breeding them, and neglecting them. Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions without adequate veterinary care, food, water or socialization... In a puppy mill, dogs are often kept in cages with wire flooring that injures their paws and legs. (“What is a Puppy Mill?”) Another website, peta.org, said this, “Perhaps most heartbreaking of all were the old mother dogs who had gone mad from confinement and loneliness. Our investigator watched these dogs circle frantically in their small cages and pace ceaselessly back and forth, which was their only way of coping with their despair.” This is why Puppy mills are bad for dogs. They hurt dogs physically and mentally.
Puppy mills, according to the ASPCA, are high-volume establishments that commercially breed puppies on an intensive basis and in typically depraved conditions that effects the overall health and welfare of the animals (ASPCA). Animal abuse is the infliction of harm of suffering by humans upon any non-human animal. Animal abuse is almost always found in puppy mills which is a problem that many people unfortunately overlook. Although puppy mill operators often believe that dogs are livestock and can be treated with disrespect, puppy mills should be abolished because they promote animal abuse, they contribute to pet overpopulation, and they cause physical and mental harm to the dogs and their offspring.
A puppy mill is a large-scale commercial dog breeding facility where profit is given priority over the well-being of the dogs. Also on ASPCA it said Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions without any food or water and veterinary care. I think this means that the dogs may die without appropriate care. Also In order to maximize their profits, female dogs are bred at every opportunity with little to recovery time between litters. Puppy mill puppies, often as young as eight weeks of age, are sold to pet shops or directly to the public over the Internet, through newspaper ads and at swap meets and flea markets. I think this means that mostly if you buy a dog from a pet store it probably supports a puppy mill. Also In puppy mills dogs are often in cages with wire floor that injures them and when dogs can’t reproduce they are often killed. Picture this that you are in jail and you can’t reproduce any more and the people who captured you has no more space and they have many dogs coming in so, they drag you out of your cell and they stab you and kill you. Because they need more space or that you were there for too long and no one has bought you and they do this for
Propositional Statement: Puppy mills are inhumane because they produce puppies that have health defects that could possibly lead to their pain and suffering as well as death. It is very important that the public be educated on the harm that puppy mills have on animals. There should also be more rules...
Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, without food, water and proper health care.
Buying a puppy from the pet store might be one of the most phenomenal moments in a life. Unfortunately, puppy mills sell their malnourished dogs to pet stores. Puppy mills are huge kennels where pure bred puppies are crowded together in unsanitary housing with no food. Dogs who did no wrong to this world do not deserve to live in these conditions. The amount of puppy mills are increasing and must be stopped by adopting dogs from shelters, not buying puppies from pet stores and putting stronger laws into action.
One of the biggest unintentional ways of animal cruelty is a way that many people think is helpful but is actually has a negative impact on all of the animals involved, this idea is trying to take in more animals than one can handle, they have good intentions but this is harmful to animals because it forces them to live in unhealthy conditions. There are many new cases of animal hoarding every year, with over 250,000 animals falling victim. Puppy mills are large dog breeder’s that care more about making money than the wellbeing and health of the animals. Many dogs become ill with diseases such as kidney or heart disease as a result of the conditions in which they live. There are those people, however, that DO abuse animals on purpose.
