Hi Teri:
Very informative article, it is sad that people choose to treat other beings in such a deplorable manner. My guess is that the owners of the puppy mills aren't aware that animals are souls manifest in a different body.

It wasn't long ago that slave traders treated Africans in the same manner, not caring that they were souls as well.
Great post Teri, keep up the good work.

What bothers me about these poor dogs is what recourse do they have to any life at all if they are not bought? My dogs are always strays that God sends, so I do not buy from anyone. But I sure wish there was something that could be done for the mill pups who are needing homes now. Shelters are overburdened and foster homes are too few.
I wish that the laws moved in the dogs’ favor. If there were not
another dog bred, I suspect we would have enough dogs for five years, and having a dog would be a commitment rather than, as it too often becomes to many people, just something they tie out in the yard and pitch food to. It is heartbreaking.

If I'm not careful with my emotions, reading stories like this make my blood boil. How sad that live beings are treated like this! Yes, it must be people with some type of mental issues that carry on in this manner. Poor animals and poor prospective owners.

I agree that shelter and rescue organization should be consulted for pet purchases if you aren't purchasing a pup through a word of mouth referral.

Thank goodness for this information. I will definitely share!

By the way, I had NO CLUE that there was any such thing as a "Puppy Lemon Law." That is wild to me!!!! But it makes sense!

Thanks again Teri!

Hugs,
Megan
