Puppy Mills in the US

Basic Principles of Animal Welfare

According to the World Society for the Protection of Animals, can be called a prosperous state of the animal used by man, where it is in good physical and psychological shape, healthy and not suffering. Animal should not experience fear and anxiety caused by handling. Should not suppress the natural needs of animals, for example, you cannot put a pig in a narrow machine for sows, where you cannot turn that leads to an unnatural stereotype - gryzeniyu partitions (Felcin 1).

Puppy Mill

A puppy mill is a breeding operation where puppies are produced in this chain and in substandard conditions. The aim is to produce more puppies possible by generating a minimum cost and maximum benefit-to the operator. The operation of puppy mills has grown exponentially in U.S and now represents an area of ??several million dollars in this country (Mary A1).With hundreds of thousands of dogs born in puppy mills each year, U.S became a haven for puppy mill industry, and unimaginable cruelty toward our best friends.

Everything is about profit

A puppy mill is a breeding operation where puppies are produced in this chain and in substandard conditions. The aim is to produce more puppies possible by generating a minimum cost - and a maximum of profit - for the operator. The operation of puppy mills has grown exponentially in U.S and now represents an area of ??several million dollars in this country (Ferick 1).

It is a cruel trade. 

Puppy mills cannot meet the needs of a dog. These dogs are housed in cramped quarters where they are crowded and unhygienic conditions, are malnourished and do not receive adequate veterinary care. The majority of breeding females spend their entire lives in small cages without exercise disgusting, love or human contact (Derrick 3). They are bred continuously until their exhausted bodies become unable to produce enough puppies (usually between the ages of four and six years). At that time, they are no longer profitable and are simply killed, as are male dogs not sold (Zerotta 3).

Puppies from puppy mills are everywhere. 

Although many of them are located in Dallas, Puppy mills are operating in several other provinces, one across U.S. Notably, most puppies sold in pet stores in U.S come from puppy mills. Puppies from puppy mills are advertised in local newspapers and sold via the Internet, in flea markets or directly from the factory (Mary A1). In general, visitors can not go inside the facility to see the conditions in which dogs are kept.

Diseases and other afflictions caused by livestock 

The puppy mill breeders allow livestock outrageous and inbreeding to occur. Most puppies have or will develop genetic defects and / or other health problems during their lives as a result of poor farming practices and unsanitary conditions of the puppy mill (Felcin 2). They often exhibit behavior problems or mood too, because of total lack of socialization with humans or other dogs.
