Puppy Mills

The first pet related issue I will talk about is puppy mills. I'm sure we all know what they are, they are basically factories mass producing puppies, usually in horrible conditions. The puppies are then sold to pet stores, where they are sold to people who are often unaware of where these puppies come from. Most don't even think about how those puppies might have ended up in a store. Life for the puppies' parents is much worse. They usually spend their entire lives at the mill as long as they are able to breed, usually living in small cages with very little human contact. The sad thing is that puppy mills are still legal in most places, and any existing laws are rarely enforced. I think that they should be illegal, or at the very least, they should be better regulated, so that these dogs can live a better quality of life. Do you agree? Share your thoughts about puppy mills!
