Passion For Puppy Mill

She got inspired when she worked for one week at animal control. The first thing to help animals was finding a puppy and advertised him on TradeMe. When she saw poor animals in cages while she was working at animal control for a week she knew she had to make a difference and she did. Every week she volunteers at her local animal branch. Faye has found homes for more than 20 kittens and 60 dogs even though seems small made a huge difference in her town. She posts pictures of dogs that are up for adoption on her facebook page “Animal Re-Home Waikato.” She says, “ We picked up a puppy in the pound the first day I went to animal control and then my last day he was still there and I felt really sorry for him.” This caused her to want to make a difference. She receives around 20 new dogs every week. Most of the dogs need a new home. “I’d love to have a career in animal control. I quite enjoy dealing with people and making a difference” she says. She takes hours of her night organizing time for people to see the animals that she posts while most people sit and do nothing. When Faye is at animal control the animals get a new loving home. She spends every Friday at animal control. Faye does things for animals that make her a true inspiration to people all around the

A quote once said by Frederick the Great states; “A dog is a man’s best friend.” There are millions of dog lovers across the world, I’m speaking to many in this class right now, so dog lovers, have you ever thought about this? Imagine walking into a pet store and looking around at all the different kinds of animals, and then your eyes are set on the dogs. You just can’t decide what one you want. One of the main key facts about choosing the right dog is considering where it is raised and many dog owners don’t. Some of the dogs could have been raised in a puppy mill. Puppy mills are a problem in the U.S today. And the problem with puppy mills is the effect they have on the dog itself and even the owner.

Have you ever been watching tv and the ASPCA commercial comes on, you know the one that has the song “Arms of an Angle.” The commercial makes you feel super sad for the poor animals that have been abused and victimized because of cruel behavior. They ask you to donate money to help these animals recover. What if when these animals do recover they were turned into Service animals. This is a matter of great concern in our community because we could help get most, if not all the animals adopted into a loving home. In order to understand the issue more completely, I looked at turning shelter animals into service animals. Other members of my Group project are looking at TNR/Euthanasia, Physiological aspects of owning a shelter animal, and Worldwide

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) describes puppy mills situation to be overcrowded, unsanitary, without adequate food, water, and veterinary health care. Female dogs are even bred at every opportunity without a rest to maximize profit (“Puppy Mills”). Dogs are kept locked up in wired cages, stacked on top one another and sometimes their excrements are not properly monitored. Thus, this leads to unknown genetic disorders and poor genetic quality which makes it difficult for the dogs to live for a long time. In the end, it will cause a lot of stress and problems for the family down the road due to the dogs’ health. Many people who are unaware of these living conditions often tend to overlook their puppies neglect and suffering. When purchasing a new pet from a pet store, many people do not wonder where their pet may have come from, instead, they are more engulf in their excitement to bring home a new family

It is estimated that there are at least 10,000 puppy mills in the United States ("Puppy Mills Research."). Puppy mills are commercial breeding facilities to mass produce dogs. These puppy mills are overproducing dogs and crowding pet shops and animal shelters. This crowding is the source to having to put down dogs in shelters. Puppy mills should be banned because of their careless breeding process, neglect towards the dog's health, and their terrible living conditions.

Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions without adequate veterinary care, food, water or socialization. In order to maximize profits, female dogs are bred at every opportunity with little-to-no recovery time between litters. Puppy mill puppies, often as young as eight weeks of age, are sold to pet shops or directly to the public over the Internet, through newspaper ads and at swap meets and flea markets.

In this speech I will be talking to you about the problem with puppy mills, the effects of puppy mills on the animals and to people, and how to stop puppy mills.

In the United States, 2,000 to 3,000 puppies and kittens are born every hour, yet only one out of ten of these animals will find a permanent home. The remaining animals will be left to fend for themselves on the streets, abandoned and lonely, with only about one year to live. Even with the rate of animals who will not find a home already, people are still determined to run puppy mills which increases that number, even if it is breaking the law. Puppy mills are bad because they keep the puppies under bad conditions, many of the dogs they breed get diseases and defects, and it can lead to animal abandonment and neglect.

Imagine yourself locked inside a filthy, disease filled cage, so small that you can’t even sit up. Imagine yourself not being able to move, not getting attention from anyone around you, and not getting enough food or water to fulfill your hunger. Imagine yourself outside without shelter whether it’s below zero and snowing, or 100 degrees without a cloud in the sky. Now, you may be thinking, who would ever treat another living thing in such a way? Unfortunately, there are about 10,000 of these abuse centers in the United States alone. These abuse centers are called puppy mills. Puppy mills need to be illegal because of the horrible conditions and selfishness of the people who run them. It’s important that everyone learns about what puppy mills are, how we are being deceived by them, and how we can make a change. So first off, what exactly is a puppy mill? According to Krysten Kenny, author of Albany Law Review, puppy mills are high volume

During the past few weeks, I've found out that I have not been inspired by anyone or anything because of my lack of not exploring the world. But so far, I could be interested on three kinds of careers that might benefit me economically and socially. One of them is to work as a person who demolish tall buildings, I personally enjoy watching things being torn into pieces ; I guess that has something to do with my childhood. But in the other hand, I also enjoy working with animals, for example when i was a freshman in high school my english teacher took us to a field trip to an animal shelter ; I personally forgot what the whole point of going to an animal shelter was for. Anyway, during the time that I attended the animal shelter, I saw how these animals were abandoned by their owners in the streets, and with no love ; because I guess they are not cute like they were when they were young. I personally think that every single pet in this world deserves some love by their owners.

Aiden Lykken is the founder of the organization of Woofin & Hoffin 5K and Doggie Dash in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. This organization are for the pets who don’t have a shelter or have been abused. Aiden has seen many situations like this happen with his own eyes. Now thousands of people are helping out by participating to help run the Woofin & Hoffin 5K and Doggie Dash to help support those animals that are abused. This young boy has made a huge difference beginning with his community and coming out big with other communities. Now a huge increase had began to grow, meaning people are taking in consideration of helping those animals who don’t have a shelter. A change has to be created in your home, community or wherever one tends to make a difference,

This article presents the effort to shut down all puppy mills. So far 88 cities small and large have shut down in effect to this. These puppy mills include cats, rabbits, and other small breeds as well. Phoenix is known to be the first city to have a pet store challenge to put a ban on puppy mills. Other cities such as New York City and Salt Lake City have taken a stand against puppy mills as well. As more consumers learn more about the puppy mills, they as well are wanting nothing to do with them. Although many changes are being made some of the local laws still allow small breeds and animals from the animal shelter to be sold. Pet stores now have the option to change to a ‘humane business model’ which allows them to work with shelters and

I’ve created a campaign for the North Shore Animal League and it will be based on animal rights. The goal I want my message to achieve is how it’s not acceptable for animals to be abused and abandoned. I’ve chosen animal rights as my issue because upon growing up in Brooklyn I’ve encountered many dogs who were abused by their owners and were able to get away with it which really upset me. A propaganda campaign is needed to raise public awareness for the animals that are abused and homeless in hopes of people having a heart and adopting them.

Another important part of the problem are the businesses that contribute to the population of pets, the dog breeders, sometimes called puppy mills. The Oxford Dictionaries defines a puppy mill as “an establishment that breeds puppies for sale, typically on an intensive basis and in conditions regarded as inhumane” (“Puppy Mill,” 2015). The Friends of Animals (2013) Web site, gives some definitions of what a puppy mill is from an animal lover’s point of view. The housing for dogs is small pens and in which they may never have the chance to touch the grass in their lifetime. Veterinary care for the breeding dogs is a minimum to increase the profit from the sale of the puppies. Most of the puppy mills are located in central states, where Adams (1991) explains that the large factory chicken farms have taken over the local farmer’s cash crop of chickens resulting in the farmer breeding dogs for their cash

More than 1.2 million dogs die in puppy mills each year. That is over 3,287 dogs each day because of puppy mills. Puppy mills are usually very unsanitary. The dogs don’t get enough food, water, and veterinary care that they need. Female dogs are breed at every possible moment. With little to no rest in between the litters. In puppy mills, the dogs are usually kept in small cages. The cages usually have wire flooring that can injure the dog’s paws and
