Stop the
Puppy Mills!
Hello, this is
IGL and our next project is puppy mills. Puppy mills are breeding facilities
that breed dogs numerously. Many pet stores and pet shops say that they get
their puppies from person breeders. Usually, they get their puppies from puppy
mills. But what’s so bad about puppy mills?
EVERYTHING! L Puppy mills are basically prisons for dogs and
puppies. They puppies are stuffed with others in small cages without any toys
or love. They also drink contaminated water and dirty food. They have bloody
feet from jumping and struggling in the cage. They have lesions on their eyes
and they don’t have enough space in the cages that they crawl on their food.
Puppies also live in their poop and pee. Sometimes a puppy dies and the people
in charge don’t discard the body. Therefore, puppies could get contagious
diseases easily.
Once upon a
time, there was a little girl that wanted a puppy. With her parents, she went
to the pet store and bought a Chihuahua puppy. Two days later, they brought it
to the vet and it was determined that the puppy already had a disease when it
was sold. It would die in a few days (Courtesy of Animal Planet).
So, the animal
shelter has many healthy animals waiting for adoption. Adopt an animal from the
animal shelter if you want a guaranteed and healthy dog/puppy. And also, a
trusted breeder would be good too. But how could we stop puppy mills? You could:
1.
Notify it to other people
2.
Convince your local pet
store to get healthier puppies
3.
Ask your town’s government
4.
Write a letter to the
newspaper
5.
Buy puppies from healthier
sources
6.
Ask your local library to
make a notice
7.
Post flyers at the vet
Stop puppy mills and help the puppies!
