What’s a puppy mill and why
do we need them to go away?
Here’s a description of a puppy mill, according to The Humane Society of the United States: over breeding, inbreeding, minimal veterinary care, poor quality of food and shelter, lack of human socialization, overcrowded cages and the killing of unwanted animals. That sums it up!

It’s estimated that about four million puppies per year are bred in puppy mills, most of which are ultimately sold in pet stores. These poor doggies that “live” in these dreadful conditions are not
looked upon as our friends. They’re commodities living in tiny or overcrowded cages, set up in barns and sheds and treated more like livestock than
pets. Females are bred as often as possible, and when they are unable to produce any longer, they are killed or abandoned. It's no life for man's best friend.
Best Friends' Puppies Aren't Products campaign
is fighting against puppy mills by holding peaceful demonstrations at stores that sell mill puppies, encouraging people to adopt, not shop, and advocating for better laws and regulations against puppy mills.
