(Peters) An Estimated 150,000 dogs and puppies are purchased through puppy mills each year, while there is only around 15,000 puppy mills in the U.S. (Theobald) Although it is not hard to become a licensed dog breeder, many people still fail at doing so and own a puppy mill instead. They do not consider these poor animals as pts, but only as money. (La Ganga) They are kept outside, they have no real shelter, but when they are kept inside they have no fresh …show more content…
Once an animal is bought at an animal shelter, they money from you goes straight to the original puppy mill without you knowing. When an animal shelter doesn?t have enough room for all of their animals, they turn to putting them down or letting them free. In often times, no kill shelters are the ones who let these poor animals go. (Vanden Brook) In this speech I?ve told you about how to stop these awful puppy mills from continuing to scam you.

Like hotels instead of kennels, braces to fix crooked teeth and other necessities that pet owners believe that they should have for their pet. For example in article “The Last Mewo” the Levering's paid fifteen thousands dollars even if they are in debt, low income, and going through health problem itself. This show us how they use money to save their pets just for few weeks instead of using the money for their own family issues. The money should go to those animals with actual necessities not the ones who are on the verge of death. Animal medicine and veterinary care is becoming pricier; also because our economy is going drastically down, prices of food, clothes, and medication is going up.
La-Nee Davis remembers as a young girl always having a dog in the house. Her daddy was a dog lover and would oftentimes bring in strays that he found on the street. They had German Shepherds, Pitt Bull mixes and many other breeds. As an adult, her love for dogs has not waned. This is evident when she views the commercials on TV of how animals are abused and neglected, it hurts her heart.
This is another indicator of the bonds breeders have with their animals. The careful deliberation of making sure their animals end up in a loving home is also surprising to many. There are even some breeders who will go to the extent of having contracts with owners that make sure if the owners can no longer take care of the dog that they will bring it back to the breeder. Breeders also like to point out that being a breeder is not cheap. There are a lot of dogs to feed and take care of and even thought they are selling puppies by the end of the year they are only making a small profit (Dibert).
They still just use the money for other things such as buying puppies to insert into the puppy mill or new vehicles for transporting puppies, when these puppies could be happier even with minimum health care. These businesses report their own income which makes it easier for them to evade making many payments while working in a “multimillion dollar business” (Hesse). This inexcusable decision to not help the puppies become healthier leads to them being put back into the mill to be resold. Puppy mills may be positive by being one thing that provides someone with enough money to feed their family. These mills may give a homeless person a way to earn money and find a safer place to live.
Well, I have the answer. This webiste also states that at least 1.2 million innocent dogs are getting put to death, and it needs to stop. This is what being in a puppy mill is like. As you can see they are squished in cages and don 't look well taken care
Most people think a puppy mill is just a place where they breed dogs to sell, and they would be right, but they’ve never seen what goes on in the inside of a puppy mill. The federal Animal Welfare Act, passed in 1966, requires
Many dogs are prone to lots of health problems like heart diseases, kidney disorder, and epilepsy. Most dogs from puppy mills spend their whole lives in cramped cages and don’t have room to exercise or play. Every year in America about 2.11 million puppies are originally from puppy mills. When getting a
As I was flipping through the pages of “Modern Dog,” the top lifestyle, advice, and health and wellness magazine for dog lovers, a Pedigree dog food ad with the bright yellow words “Meet Otis” immediately caught my eye. Accompanying those words were the sweet face of a small pug puppy. The ad states that whenever you purchase a Pedigree product, the proceeds will help animals in shelters find loving homes. By simply skimming the ad, I could tell it utilizes pathos, ethos, and logos to appeal to potential consumers.
When you look in the window at a cute little puppy at a pet store have you ever thought about what that puppy’s life might have been like before they got to that store? Frankly speaking, I never did until I started reading about puppy mills. Puppy farms or puppy mills are institutions of cruelty usually hidden from public view where dogs are housed in shocking appalling conditions. It is not unusual for large number of dogs to be crammed together in filthy pens and cages. As a pet owner, animal lover, or as a concerned adult, it is time for us to save this helpless dogs and puppy as puppy mills are extremely inhumane and need to be stopped.
Once a mill's breeders are no longer capable of having offspring, those dogs become about as useful as the ill puppies who can not be sold. Any dog that will never bring in any additional profit to the mill is euthanized. According to the Puppy Mill Project, it's estimated that over one million dogs are put to death in puppy mills annually, and in cruel ways too, including shooting or drowning. Some supporters of puppy mills may push the argument forth that mills are regularly inspected by the USDA, shutting down any incompetent breeders.
It's you. You’re the market for these sick, suffering dogs. Instead of going to a shelter or to an animal rescue group and adopting a dog for $300 (with all vetting included) because they are “old”,“ugly” or “used”. You go into a puppy store and buy a perfect pure puppy. The market for these dogs is so high therefore the problem will never stop.
Puppies, cute, and loveable puppies. How would you feel if I told you hundreds of those puppies were dying every day in pest infested, overcrowded, and diseased puppy mills? Puppy mills are one of the most common places where puppies and dogs die. That’s why puppy mills need to get banned in the United States. They make the female dogs suffer, most puppies don’t make it out alive, and they neglect and mentally abuse the dogs.
What Is a Puppy Mill? There are roughly about 10 to 15,000 puppy mills in the United States that are taking advantage of animals just to make an extra dollar, these dogs have to live through unsanitary living conditions which can be deadly, and are being abused without taking into consideration of what it is doing to them physically. Dogs that are in puppy mills have to live through unsanitary conditions. They are often kept in small wire cages that are inside sheds.
Puppy Mills are a growing problem, however, many Americans remain unsure about what they actually are. Well imagine yourself being stuck in a small room, nowhere to go, nowhere to run, not being able to live the life you wanted to. Well, to me that is a clear example of a Puppy Mill. Puppy Mills are a commercial dog breeding facility, where they leave their dogs in an unsanitary and overcrowded environment. If they are lucky they will have food, however, the food will be contaminated with bugs.
