Puppy Mills

Since the 1940s, the puppy mill controversy has been defined as primarily ill-equipped, kennels where puppies were bred for commercial sale from dogs kept in the most unhygienic and deplorable conditions. Most of the puppies in the puppy mills are malnourished, have a poor temperament and are sickly. Today however, these kennels are finding it difficult to operate, even those operating professionally within the law. The major contribution to this is the unrelenting efforts of animal activists and anti-breeding groups.

This article talks about the birth of puppy mills and how they have been run in the past and in the present. It also talks about certain groups that have fought very hard to stop the running of these puppy mills, and reduce animal abuse across the nation.

The conditions of these puppy mills are horrible and the animals are usually left out in the cold, with no food or water. I wonder how many people witness this type of abuse and never say anything or never try to help the animal?
