There is no shortage of news stories reporting puppy mill Buster, and it is always tragic. But it worries me more than busted puppy Mills is that there are numerous puppy mills out there, are still operating. Some States such as Missouri, have adopted legislation to prevent the cruel practices of puppy Mills, but it will ever be enough?
What is a Puppy Mill? Basic used the term "puppy mill" to describe a large-scale commercial dog breeding, which puts profit above health and safety of dogs. These facilities operate frequently in rural areas, hide from public view. The over-breed dogs and forcing both dogs and puppies to live in appalling conditions. Puppy mills are trying perhaps to masquerade as responsible breeding kennels, but the truth is that they are prisons for dogs. Knowing all this, we might ask how these facilities manage to stay in business.
Ultimately, what keeps puppy mills in operation is quite simple; It's all about supply and demand.
No matter how hard the work of legislators and citizens in order to adopt the laws, anti-puppy mill, the "evil" find a way to hide. The only real way to stop puppy mills are to cut their profits. Puppy mills often sell their Pups through brokers, who in turn sell puppies to pet stores. In recent years, the puppy mill operators decided to cut out middlemen and sell puppies through online kennels. Create a beautiful site with cute puppy portraits, and it may be easy to fool consumers. One can only imagine what is happening behind the scenes.
WE are the ones who can make a difference. If the puppy mills cannot sell puppies, what is the purpose of the stay in business? Secure, changes do not happen overnight, but if we spread the word, we can gradually make a difference. Promise only adopt your next dog from a shelter or rescue group legitimate. Avoid so-called "designer breeds" or hybrids. If a purebred puppy, you only need to buy your dog from a responsible dog breeder with valid references. Demand to see the stables to puppies and mother dog (father, because if it is possible). Advise others to do the same. What are you doing to stop puppy mills?
