"And you? We can close the puppy mills, you know, we really can. The AKC won't do it, and the USDA won't do it. We will.
Remember, we're everyone, and we're everywhere, and before long, none of us will buy so much as a single morsel of premium kibble from a pet shop that sells dogs. Peace will come. Let it begin with us." |

Help Indiana say NO to puppymills
The best way to fight against the atrocities of the puppymills is to educate as many people as we can about what they really are, and to get our State's Representatives to fight for tougher punishments for animal abuse.
Shouldn't your
dogs look like this. This is how most people picture the lifestyle of
their dog's, or anyone's pet for that fact. Pampered, well fed, with
fresh water to drink, clean, given the health care they need by a veterinarian,
and above all loved by the family that owns them. This is the way we all would
like to believe that all companion animals live.
But there is another side to this picture.
This is the way
that too many dogs live. There is no way to describe it but to say that is
is abusive. They are put into cages and there they stay until the day they
die. They usually have very short miserable lives. They are fed
barely enough to keep them alive, let alone healthy. If they get sick they
are left to die in pain and misery. The females are bred every season and
their bodies are depleted of all nourishment by the constant litters of puppies
that they are forced to have. Some have never had their paws on the
ground, or felt grass. This is a far cry from the cute little puppy in the
pet shop window, but this is how it begins.
You can help in the fight against puppymills by supporting the fight against petshops that sell live animals. The pet shops are the major reason that the puppymills exist. If we can educate people where the puppies come from and how they are bred, along with how many end up dying to get just one to the pet shop window, maybe we can slowly end the need for the puppymills and their cruelty to the dogs.
