So, you’re cool with puppy mills?
“So, you’re cool with puppy mills?”
I’ve known several people over the years who bred their dogs, usually at some expense. Then they sold or gave away the puppies. One was accused of running a puppy mill, although I think the term was miss-applied. I think the word gets thrown around like racism and means different things to different people. But if somebody is doing something cruel, which is what I’m guessing you mean, then there are other laws to stop them. Just what is a puppy mill and is it really a problem? I suspect not as much as the article implies.
In general, I’m against both laws and pet stores, as I always wonder what happens to unsold animals. There already enough laws and their are sufficient puppies too. There’s no need to make more of either. (Incidentally, if people are looking for dogs to compete I suspect they have to have papers and that “puppy mill” papers wouldn’t suffice.)
I never go into pet stores because I can’t bear to see pets in cages. By the same token, although I love beef I don’t want to see a cow butchered. We live in the real world and make our own peace.
