Puppy Mills

* Hundreds of thousands of puppies are raised each year in commercial kennels.

 

* Puppy mills are distinguished by their inhumane conditions and the constant breeding of unhealthy and genetically defective dogs solely for profit.

 

* Very often the dogs in puppymills are covered with matted, filthy hair, their teeth are rotting and their eyes have ulcers. We have seen many dogs whose jaws have rotted because of tooth decay.

 

* The dogs are kept in small wire cages for their entire lives. They are almost never allowed out. They never touch solid ground or grass to run and play.

 

* Many of the dogs are injured in fights that occur in the cramped cages from which there is no escape.

 

*  Many dogs lose feet and legs when they are caught in the wire floors of the cages and cut

off as the dog struggles to free themselves.
