I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – puppy mills should be outlawed. Boycott them. How?
- Buy your puppies only from a reputable breeder where you can see the puppies and their parents in their home environment before you even consider buying. Or go to an animal shelter and rescue a puppy or dog that desperately needs a good home.
- Never, never, never buy puppies from pet shops – it perpetuates the whole puppy mill industry and keeps it going. You contribute to the cruelty by buying a dog from a pet shop.
What the dogs and puppies would say to you if they could speak:

Indeed, all pets (or even wild animals), and most especially our best friend, the dog grow healthier and much livelier OUTSIDE of cages. Even with the best food and caring, a life in captivity is misery. The pet shop had always been the standard where we could buy our pets but I suggest that we come up with a directory of dog breeders instead, disseminate and make it available to all those interested in buying their pets so it would gradually become the norm.
I have been receiving your mails which are interesting.Doing a good job for animal lovers.Keep it up.
the video on puppy mills has apparantly “been removed by user” I am enjoying reading all that you send me. My doggies are the joy of my life. I wish everyone could feel the same way.
