Why Are Mills An Issue?

Dogs forced into this this kind of service or environment are not only neglected, but also abused. Their “homes” are like prisons. Dogs deserve the same love and rights that humans receive. There are 3,000 puppy mills that operate under the Department of Agriculture, all of which are completely legal. This fact makes me wonder about our country’s ethos. These facilities are dirty, cramped, and lack even the proper food and water to support the animals. Mills often indirectly promote inhumane treatment of animals through the way they care for the animals. Due to the mistreatment at the puppy mills, the animals can have mental and physical impediments. The public has unknowingly been supporting puppy mills and their connections by purchasing dogs from local pet stores. If you find puppy mills or mistreatment of animals wrong and disgusting, do your part to help stop them. The only way we can fight the mills is through uniting ourselves and being highly informed as a whole. Once we know what we are fighting against, it is easier to defeat.
