ALL PUPPY MILLS ARE DISGUSTING AND MUST BE SHUT DOWN. People who buy from pet stores and online are just as much part of the problem as those who run puppy mills.
ADOPT
In the WOODLANDS Mall, in The WoodlandsTX, there is a pet store (PetFair) that continues to sell puppies. THis is an upscale mall within a ritzy community and I cannot believe they sell animals! Please let them know that the days of selling dogs and cats in stores in way over! APSCA has already put them on notice about their practices.
All puppy mills in the US, Canada and world-wide should be shut down. I live in Quebec where the provincial government doesn't care about puppy mill. Thanks to animal activists who petition the government to take action. I hope that our new premier will eventually take action.
The mills should not just be investigated, they should be closed and all dogs confiscated. These people need to have stronger laws thrown ar rhen rather than just a slap on the wrist. Make it like a drug charge, you lose all your property, go to jail for 20 years no time off for good behavior this time or any future jail sentences ,and when you come out your name is on an animal abuse list and you are not allowed to own any kind of animal at all. If you are found on a second offense you get 40 years and lose all your property again. We need to make a criminal offense, not animal abuse only, or crimes against animals. It is crimes against animals, and people who buy them so it is also a crime to sell something under false pretenses. The pet store that is found buying from these puppymills lose their license, close their business and are also put on a list so they are no longer able to get a license to open another pet store or store selling any kind of animals at all. High fine also for these pet store owners and jail time of 10 years, no time off for good behavior either. Next time found peddling dogs for any reason (out of their home,etc) they ger 20 years and a fine, etc. for future offenses of the same.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, MANEL. THIS POOR BABIES ARE BORN INTO THIS WORLD THAT IS A WORLD OF HELL. THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE PUPPY MILLS AND THE PET STORES WHO BUY THEM KNOWING MOST ARE SICK, NEED TO BE IMPRISIONED FOR YEARS, NOT MONTHS.
All the Puppy Mills should be closed without exceptions. The people who breed the dogs littler after litter is greedy about making a quick buck and nothing else. The innocent dogs are left out to fend for themselves as if they are production machines. They are not loved or given love. They are simply money making commodities. US is finally standing up for these defenceless animals and I would love to see the stronger rules are being brought forward and the stiffer sentences were given to the animal abusers and the law breakers alike. We need to take care of the dogs and puppies who are already being born and alive...and waiting to find a home to go to.
Haleene, I am not a proponent of pet stores selling dogs or cats, however, the photo is highly misleading. How do we know where that bowl was, or how long it was left in "view" before bugs got into it, nor does it even compute that if it was given to hungry puppies, there would even be any food left in the bowl to get contaminated BY insects. I've yet to see a bowl of dogfood that looks as good as that food (appears to be a decent kibble, maybe not gourmet or the highest quality, but DECENT) not get licked clean by the animal it was given to. IF that kibble was put out on a hot day in the sun, it could be easily noticed and infested by insects within minutes. We don't know where that photo was taken, period.
