Puppy Mills have had a huge impact on puppy abuse in this country something that the government has to act on until it’s to late. Many have argue Puppy mills are unfit for the puppy’s in Marley and Me by John Grogan. They have agreed also that puppy mills are just a commercial breeding operation. When John and Jenny seen on the newspaper ad it said “Lab puppy yellow AKC pure breed”(John 3) they made sure that the place was not a puppy mill. John and Jenny had read a lot about puppy mills to steer away from them.

While I was there I asked one of the workers that have daily contact with these animals about what she thought about puppy mills and what would be a way to avoid them and the specialty about adopting a dog/puppy from the shelter. When I was talking to the worker Kayla Kirkpatrick she told me that “adopting a puppy/dog from the shelter gives that animals a second chance in life” replied Kirkpatrick. I would strongly agree with that statement because when an animal gets a second chance to them that means being able to start a new life with people that they can actually trust. I asked her another question on what she thinks about puppy mills in response Kayla said that “they are an animal's number one nightmare, because they don't understand what's going and when the end is coming near, because it's so to hold on any longer.” After speaking to Ms.Kirkpatrick I realized now that after talking to kirpatrick that animals are just like people and desire better and that they are not just a profit or yard ornament. on Ms.Kirkpatrick's request and everybody she works with would love to see people adopting from the shelter than

Our message is that people shouldn’t buy dogs from puppy mills but adopt them from a shelter.

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

The over-arching problem that Breeder’s Own Pet Foods has is which marketing-strategy would best serve as a vehicle for entry into the dog food retail business. Additionally, it has to select the most prominent geographic location (s) for distribution of its product. Another root problem component is how to get the supermarkets to stock and distribute this dog food since it is in the frozen category and may not appeal to traditional dog food buyers because they don’t readily associate dog food with frozen goods.

Even more disturbing, most of these puppies do not receive the correct attention or affection from the very things they love the most; us. They don’t get to run around and exercise the way dogs were meant to. Their well-being is not important to the facilities. Increasing the profit is the sole focus and goal. Because of this, puppies are repeatedly born sick and their life expectancy is decreased. As terrible as this is, these are the very real and disturbing circumstances for puppies living in puppy mills; if you’d even want to call it that. They should be shut down completely, and banned by the government throughout the nation.

This leaves us all in confusion: how are the other 7,000 puppy mills functioning without oversight? Well, there are no regulations on how these puppy mills operate. Picture this: A huge dark room with small metal cages stacked on top of each other, the air filled with the whimpering and crying of the puppies trapped inside them. When puppies are bred in these unsanitary conditions, there is usually just a sole survivor out of a litter of 8, similar to Hunger Games in which only the strong prevails. According to the Puppy Mill Project, an outgoing campaign to stop for-profit breeders (breeders who put money over dog welfare), over 2 million puppies are sold from puppy mills each year, with 1.2 million slaughtered in the mills due to overpopulation.

The customers' want to feed their dogs a superior food conflicts with a need to save money.

A: Pet mills put money and profit, before the health of the animals they are breeding. Animals from these mills are usually living in disgusting conditions, and not getting the medical care that they need (Sheeter, n.d.). Because of this, the animals can get very prone to sickness, and have behavioural problems. They are left in small crates, squished together, have terrible diets, and dirty water (Sheeter, n.d.). A lot of dogs have been neglected or abused and have had little attention, interaction with humans or other animals, or obedience trainings. They were not treated with any sort or respect or appreciation or care, and they deserve that. The mums of the puppies are caged and constantly bred until they no longer can, they do not get

President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act in 1963, the gap between men and women's earnings has narrowed by less than a half-cent per year. At this rate, American women will have to wait until 2062 to bring home the same salary as their male counterparts” (Speire).

Subtopic: These puppy mills are dreadful because the animals live in poor conditions with improper medical care.

Dog breeding is dangerous because to make a perfect dog they too often inbreed and cause birth defects and other health issues in dogs. Terry Allen, an “In These Times” senior editor who has written the magazine’s monthly investigative health and science column since 2006, argues in “We’re Breeding Dogs to Death” that “neither price, pedigree nor being loved like a member of the family can shield a dog from the pain, breathing difficulties, cancer, panoply of debilitating genetic disorders, mental illness, crippling physiognomy and shortened life span that disproportionately plague purebreds.” The article “Selective Breeding or Artificial Selection” explains that in dogs, the “frequency of being homozygous for rare recessive disorders increases when inbreeding occurs, potentially causing severe

Companies do not care about how much they torture the animal, but how much money they get.

Every morning I walked onto my front porch and prayed for the protection of my family. I would plead with God to end the famine as I and my family cannot endure any more of the plights Ireland has been suffering from. The amount of death, I have witnessed is unbearable as I have seen my own relatives and friends die of starvation. They became so skinny that I could see their bones poking out of their skin. After I was done praying, I hollered at my son Alroy Bowen Jr. to come outside to help me harvest the potatoes. Once we began collecting the crops, I noticed something odd about the potatoes. All of the potatoes were all rotted from the inside out. The blight had finally infected all of my crops and I began to panic. I felt as God
