Puppy Mills the product of greed - Catherine - 10-30-2014
This puppy mill is one of the worst. I think they are right when they blame it on greed. People think they can make money from animals. It costs money if you are going to do it properly.

Like anything, if money is the only motive, the results are not going to be good. I feel for the little females forced to bear so many puppies in such terrible conditions.

A terrible case, but one fears that it is not isolated. Puppy mills (called puppy farms in Europe) are a disgrace to humankind.

Puppy farms, puppy mills and in Australia, puppy factories, they seem to be a global problem. Anywhere people will pay lots of money for a dog, someone will try to make lots of money selling it to them.
The real change needs to come from the buyers. If they would not buy from puppy mills or from pets stores that sell puppies from puppy mills, then breeding puppies like that would stop being profitable. It is about the money. They don't care about the dogs.
