Why this petition matters

Started by Savanna Geary

really? Breeding animals till they die. What if that was you. People who have puppy mills dont care about the dogs, but the profit they make. So if you ever go to a puppy mill i want you to think about a few things; one being, is it legal in that state, 2 are they healthy, and 3 how many animals are there? These dogs are suffering because they arent getting the help they need. Here are some facts about puppy mills from Do something.org.

11 FACTS ABOUT PUPPY MILLS
Welcome to DoSomething.org, a global movement of millions of young people making positive change, online and off! The 11 facts you want are below, and the sources for the facts are at the very bottom of the page. After you learn something, Do Something! Find out how to take action here.  
 

A puppy mill is a commercial dog-breeding facility that focuses on increasing profit with little overhead cost. The health and welfare of the animals is not a priority.[1]
Female dogs are bred at every opportunity with little to no recovery time between litters. When, after a few years, they are physically depleted to the point that they no longer can reproduce, breeding females are often killed.[2]
Every year in Ameica, it's estimated that 2.11 million puppies are sold that originated from puppy mills, while 3 million are killed in shelters because they are too full and there aren’t enough adoptive homes.

In puppy mills, dogs can spend most of their lives in cramped cages, with no room to play or exercise.[4]
Often times, the water and food provided for the puppies is contaminated, crawling with bugs. Puppies can even be malnourished.[5]
Puppies in mills are found with bleeding or swollen paws, feet falling through the wire cages, severe tooth decay, ear infections, dehydration, and lesions on their eyes, which often lead to blindness.[6]
In most states, puppy mills are legal. It is important that future pet owners seek rescue dogs from their local shelter or buy pets from a trusted breeder in order to put mills out of business.[7]
It is estimated that there are at least 10,000 puppy mills in the U.S. Fewer than 3,000 of these are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.[8]
Most puppy mills have no veterinary care, climate control, or protection for the animals from weather (hot, cold, rain, or snow).[9]
With limited or no regulations or enforcement, puppy mills have no cleanup control. This means that dogs can be living in urine and feces for indefinite periods of time.[10]
It's common to find dogs in puppy mills with collars that have been fastened so tightly that they have become embedded in a dog’s neck and must be carefully cut out.[11]

 No thats not all either. Cat factories, kittens suffer every day in a kennel. They do the same thing to cats as they do to dogs. And thats why i want to get it banned. Please help me i need your help. 

A little bit about why i care;

I care because i have three dogs of my own and i love them to death and i would not like to see them in a place like that. Please sign this petition
