What are Puppy Mills?

By: Mithra Vasanthan

Puppy mills are farms that help commercial dog breeders breed puppies.

They are convenient for pet stores that want a wide variety

of puppies to sell quickly.

Puppy Mills provide very poor conditions for puppies.

The puppies are locked up in wire cages and do not

get clean food or water. The dogs can not be active

and putting them in wire cages can injure them.

Although in some places puppy mills are illegal,

most mills are not. The state of Calafornia

was the first state to ban puppy mills.

Pet stores in CA were only allowed

to sell puppies from rescue shelters

and organizations.

Puppy mills are an example of animal cruelty.

Although there are a lot of puppy mills left,

many people are taking steps to stop

puppy mills.
