If you need a dog, please think twice before supporting pet stores who carry puppy mill
dogs. Yes, we need to get legislation to put these terrible puppy mills out of business
but since that seems highly unlikely, then of course, let's not encourage their existence
by supporting stores which carry puppy mill dogs.
If you are still not persuaded -- maybe this short poignant observation of Stephen Wells,
Executive Director of Animal Legal Defense Fund wrote when seeing first hand while
rescuing dogs from these horrible places:
"The smell hits you first --the nauseating stench of so much urine and feces. Then
you see the dogs packed into cages, cowering in fear, with matted fur and often, visible
wounds--abscesses, tumors, paws wounded and deformed because they're forced to
stand on mesh flooring."
