im always mean to the ppl that work in pet stores (we only get stuff for the rats like rat food >_>)cuz i think they deserve it (i havent been at a puppy mill because my parents know i would go berserk on ppl there)
Are you saying then that all kennels are puppy mills. maybe you need to define a puppy mill. I know for a fact that most of the dogs and puppies that end up in shelters are the result of irresponsible pet owners, not breeders. I travel and have seen a lot of pets in yards in worse places and conditions as most of these. Are you just against kennels or are you really for the welfare of pets.
amazing video you guys put together. get this all over the internet. i just posted it on all my sites…. everyone needs to do the same. this is a very very very important video, well made and informative. everyone, post this up somewhere!
6,000 licensed and another 4,000 unlicenesed commercial breeding operations churn out 5 million puppies every year, selling them to 3,500 pet stores while shelters across the country are killing 23,601 animals EVERY day.
Adopt don’t shop!
my uncle who rescued a pit bull, rottweiler mix was tricked into buying a pet store havaneese, maltese mix, and alll she does is cry, … constantly!!! so i told him shes from a mill but he said the store said she isnt, and of course she lied and him being stubborn, he believed her
Puppy mills are sickening and need to be stopped.
Thank you!
I’ll definitley spread the word.
My home country (Finland) made it illegal to sell dogs or cats at pet stores.
It’s working, and still almost everyone here has a dog or a cat, and no strays.
This has to be stopped.
It’s sickening.
