"The "I'm Tired of Puppy Mills" bracelet will help spread the word about the inhumanity of puppy mills. LCA believes it is extremely important for people to know where that cute puppy in the pet store came from.

Approximately 500,000 puppies per year are bred in puppy mills and 99% of these puppies are sold in pet stores. LCA’s definition of a puppy mill is: a commercial dog breeding facility, often operating under sub standard conditions, maintained for the wholesale/retail sale of puppies for profit. Puppy mill dogs are often packed in tiny wire cages, neglected, dehydrated, dirty, and chronically sick, with little or no human interaction or affection. They are then sold to pet stores across the country.

Here are some facts about puppy mills you may not know:

•    There are an estimated 10,000 puppy mills in the U.S.

•    Only half of the puppies bred at puppy mills make it to the pet store; the other half die from the mill’s squalid conditions, hypothermia, starvation, or while being transported in unhealthy, inhumane conditions.

•    Female dogs (called brood bitches), are kept in cages for their entire lives, forced to continuously breed. When they can no longer breed, they are killed or abandoned.

•    Puppies are taken from their mothers at 5-7 weeks of age. The stress caused by this abrupt, and premature separation often results in illness or death.

•    Puppy millers often get rid of unwanted, sick dogs by shooting them.

•    The puppies that reach pet stores often suffer from a variety of health problems, including deafness, epilepsy, eye lesions, hip dysplasia, retardation, and personality disorders, such as excessive aggression.

LCA works tirelessly to stop puppy mills. The organization’s undercover investigation into Southern California puppy mills, reported by CBS reporter David Goldstein, resulted in an inspection of World Kennels, which was housing 402 dogs in extremely inhumane conditions. LCA brought Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer, into World Kennels, to witness firsthand the horrors of puppy mills and to help rehabilitate the dogs that were rescued. This resulted in a very special Dog Whisperer episode: “Inside Puppy Mills.”

For over two decades, Chris DeRose has been an leader in the animal rights movement and an inspiration and consultant to countless individuals and groups dedicated to the animal cause. In 1984, he founded Last Chance for Animals (LCA), a nonprofit organization, dedicated to eradicating cruelty towards animals through investigation, legislation and outreach. LCA's mission is to end animal pain and suffering and to improve the treatment of animals everywhere. Last Chance for Animals website
