Puppy mills thrive because we buy mill dogs. Shelter dogs die because we buy mill dogs. How much is that doggie in the window? Way too much.
This video captures many aspects of the puppy mill problem.
Does this bother you? You CAN make a difference.
Be a part of the solution!! Contact the USDA and tell them you want this problem fixed. Call Sec. Vilsack's office at 202-720-3631 or email him at agsec@usda.gov. Keep trying until you get through to someone.
We must speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. They need us.
