Puppy Mills Very few people can resist the urge to look at puppies inside the windows of pet shops. However many people do not look at the puppies and wonder where they came from. If you were to look into their background, a vigorous past would appear. Have you ever looked behind the screens to see how the pet shops gain control of the puppies, or what those little guys had to go through to get there?

First off, you should learn a little about these nasty places. Puppy mills are not a popular topic for most people to be familiar with. Generally speaking, a puppy mill is a large-scale commercial breeding facility for all breeds of dogs. They are where the pure bread puppies are bred. There, most definitely, are other pure breeders that sell their personal litters. However those small scale breeders less rigorous with their animals and the owners build stronger relationships with the animals they own. Those are better cases. But in a typical mill, abuse, exploitation, and neglect are common ways animals are treated in mills. Along with the terrible treatment, insufficient amounts of sanitation, food and veterinary care are provided for the animals.

For how little of care and attention the owners put towards their dogs, how are people supposed to trust whether the puppies they
