Many dogs have rotted jaws because of tooth decay.</div> <div> The dogs are kept in small wire cages for their entire lives. They never are allowed out. They never touch solid ground or grass.</div> <div> Many of the dogs are injured in fights that occur in the cramped cages from which there is no escape.</div> <div> Many dogs lose feet and legs when they are caught in the wire floors of the cages and cut off as the dogs struggle to free themselves.</div> <div> Very often there is no heat or air-conditioning in a puppy mill. The dogs freeze in the winter and die of heat stroke in the summer. Puppies "cook" on the wires of the cages in the summer.</div> <div> Female dogs are usually bred the first time they come into heat and are bred every heat cycle. They are breed until their poor worn out bodies can't reproduce any longer and then they are killed. They are often killed by being bashed on the head with a rock or shot. Sometimes they are sold to laboratories or dumped. This is often by the time they reach five years old.</div> <div> Puppy mills and pet stores maximize their profits by not spending money on proper food, housing or veterinary care.</div> <div> The food that is fed in puppy mills is often purchased from dog food companies by the truckload. It is often made of the sweepings from the floor. It is so devoid of nutritional value that the dogs' teeth rot at early ages.</div> <div> Dogs in puppy mills are debarked often by ramming a steel rod down their throats to rapture their vocal cords.</div> <div> Puppies are taken from their mother when they are 5 to 8 weeks old and sold to brokers who pack them in crates for resale to pet stores all over the country.</div> <div> The puppies are shipped by truck or plane and often without adequate food, water, ventilation or shelter.</div> <div> Many of the puppies do not survive the trip.</div> <div> Innocent families buy the puppies only to find that the puppy is very ill or has genetic or emotional problems. Often the puppies die of disease. Many other have medical problems that cost thousands of dollars. And many have emotional problems because they have not been properly socialized in the mills. Don't bring this misery into your home.</div> <div> Many of the 4000 federally licensed breeding kennels have substandard conditions.</div> <div> Approximately 3,500 pet stores in the United States sell puppies. They sell approximately 500,000 thousand puppies a year. It is estimated that the puppy industry in Missouri is valued at 40 million dollars a year. The puppy industry in one county in Pennsylvania, Lancaster, is valued at 4 million dollars a year.</div> <div> There are seven states that are known as puppy mill states because they have the majority of the puppy mills in the country. They are: Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania.</div> <div> There is federal law, the Animal Welfare Act, and many states have laws that purport to regulate puppy mills but the fact is that those laws are rarely enforced.</div> <div> Our research has shown that 98% of the puppies sold in pet stores come from facilities that we consider to be puppy mills. Pet stores often tell customers that their puppies come from local breeders or quality breeders. Don't believe them, ask to see the paperwork and find out where the puppies really come from. We even heard about a sign in a Massachusetts pet store that said their puppies were lovingly raised in homes in Missouri. Those puppies actually came from the notorious Do-Bo-Tri in Missouri - a puppy mill that has been cited numerous times for violations of the Animal Welfare Act.</div> <div> If the people of the United States refused to buy a puppy in a pet store, the misery of puppy mills would end. Please tell everyone you know about puppy mills and the pet store connection.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> There is no excuse for the abuse in puppy mills to continue. </div> <div> <B>Boycott stores that sell puppies</B></div> <bR> <div> There is no definition of a puppy mill. In our opinion anyone who breeds dog with profit as the main motivation and without consideration for the health and well being of the dogs and puppies is guilty of ethical crimes.</div> <div> There are two kinds of these people - backyard breeders and puppy millers. They should both be driven out of business. </div> <div> Anyone who has so little concern for the well being of the puppies that they have caused to be brought into the world that they sell them to someone else who will resell them qualifies as a mill in our opinion. Many of these people are required to be licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture (depending on the level of their sales and number of females). </div> <div> The states with the largest number of licensed facilities are Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="260f42e0.gif" border=0 width="500" height="46" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> A DOG’S PLEA </div> <div> Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me. </div> <div> Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn. </div> <div> Speak to me often, for your voice is the world’s sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ears. </div> <div> Please take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. </div> <div> Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger. </div> <div> And, my friend, when I am old, and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun. Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands. </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="260f42e0.gif" border=0 width="500" height="46" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> BUT, before you view these pictures, please read this story ! THIS is what the animals would say to us if they could, God bless the poor abused animals !</div> <bR> <div> <B>I don't remember much of the place where I was born. It was cramped and dark, and we were never played with by the humans. I remember Mom and her soft fur, but she was often sick, and very thin. She had hardly any milk for me and my brothers and sisters. I remember many of them dying, and I missed them so. </B></div> <div> <B>I do remember the day I was taken from Mom. I was so sad and scared, my milk teeth had only just come in, and I really should have been with Mom still, but she was so sick, and the Humans kept saying that they wanted money and were sick of the "mess" that me and my sister made.</B></div> <div> <B>So we were crated up and taken to a strange place. Just the two of us. We huddled together and were scared, still no human hands came to pet or love us. So many sights and sounds, and smells! We are in a store where there are many different animals! Some that squawk! some that meow! Some that Peep! My sister and I are jammed into a small cage, I hear other puppies here. I see humans look at me, I like the 'little humans', the kids. They look so sweet, and fun, like they would play with me! All day we stay in the small cage, sometimes mean people will hit the glass and frighten us, every once in a while we are taken out to be held or shown to humans. Some are gentle, some hurt us, we always hear 'Aw they are So cute! I want one!" but we never get to go with any.</B></div> <div> <B>My sister died last night, when the store was dark. I lay my head on her soft fur and felt the life leave her small thin body. I had heard them say she was sick, and that I should be sold at a "discount price" so that I would quickly leave the store. I think my soft whine was the only one that mourned for her as her body was taken out of the cage in the morning and dumped.</B></div> <div> <B>Today, a family came and bought me! Oh happy day! They are a nice family, they really, really wanted me! They had bought a dish and food and the little girl held me so tenderly in her arms. I love her so much! The mom and dad say what a sweet and good puppy I am! I am named Angel. I love to lick my new humans! The family takes such good care of me, they are loving and tender and sweet. They gently teach me right and wrong, give me good food, and lots of love! I want only to please these wonderful people! I love the little girl and I enjoy running and playing with her.</B></div> <div> <B>Today I went to the veterinarian. it was a strange place and I was frightened. I got some shots, but my best friend the little girl held me softly and said it would be OK. So I relaxed. The Vet must have said sad words to my beloved family, because they looked awfully sad. I heard Severe Hip Dysplasia, and something about my heart... I heard the vet say something about, back yard breeders and my parents not being tested. I know not what any of that means, just that it hurts me to see my family so sad. But they still love me, and I still love them very much!</B></div> <div> <B>I am 6 months old now. Where most other puppies are robust and rowdy, it hurts me terribly just to move. The pain never lets up. It hurts to run and play with my beloved little girl, and I find it hard to breathe. I keep trying my best to be the strong pup I know I am supposed to be, but it is so hard. It breaks my heart to see the little girl so sad, and to hear the Mom and Dad talk about 'it might now be the time." Several times I have went to that veterinarians place, and the news is never good. Always talk about Congenital Problems. I just want to feel the warm sunshine and run, and play and nuzzle with my family.</B></div> <div> <B>Last night was the worst, Pain has been my constant companion now, it hurts even to get up and get a drink. I try to get up but can only whine in pain. I am taken in the car one last time. Everyone is so sad, and I don't know why. Have I been bad? I try to be good and loving, what have I done wrong? Oh if only this pain would be gone! If only I could soothe the tears of the little girl. I reach out my muzzle to lick her hand, but can only whine in pain. </B></div> <div> <B>The veterinarian’s table is so cold. I am so frightened. The humans all hug and love me, they cry into my soft fur. I can feel their love and sadness. I manage to lick softly their hands. Even the vet doesn't seem so scary today. He is gentle and I sense some kind of relief for my pain. The little girl holds me softly and I thank her, for giving me all her love. I feel a soft pinch in my foreleg. The pain is beginning to lift, I am beginning to feel a peace descend upon me. I can now softly lick her hand.</B></div> <div> <B>My vision is becoming dreamlike now, and I see my Mother and my brothers and sisters, in a far off green place. They tell me there is no pain there, only peace and happiness. I tell the family, goodbye in the only way I know how, a soft wag of my tail and a nuzzle of my nose. I had hoped to spend many, many moons with them, but it was not meant to be. "You see," said the veterinarian, "Pet shop puppies do not come from ethical breeders." The pain ends now, and I know it will be many years until I see my beloved family again. If only things could have been different.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Signed, the puppy mill animals</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>PLEASE do NOT by from pet stores, puppy mills, or back yard breeders !  This is gut wrenching, just wish I had about 5000 acres, then I would rescue every single animal that needs love and compassion, that is what makes a great animal !!!</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div>                    <IMG SRC="426faeb0.png" border=0 width="250" height="235" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="427faaf0.png" border=0 width="250" height="175" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>                      <IMG SRC="42860050.png" border=0 width="352" height="261" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="429fa9a0.png" border=0 width="250" height="154" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Notice the dead dog in the food bowl in the above left picture.  Notice the dog in the red circle.</div> <bR> <div>                    <IMG SRC="42a33d10.png" border=0 width="307" height="209" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="42b024b0.png" border=0 width="258" height="331" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="42d40020.png" border=0 width="320" height="258" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="42c40f00.png" border=0 width="320" height="240" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> How long must this dead dog have been there, I got physically ill when I did this page.  The adorable face on the dog on the right is starving, you can see his poor ribs.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="42ea3c80.png" border=0 width="163" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="43096e60.png" border=0 width="150" height="230" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="42f1ec80.png" border=0 width="286" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  </div> <div> The filth, the grime, and the way they pack all of these dogs in one cage.
