This is a horrible sin against one of nature's most forgiving creatures. These people need to be stopped, shut down and charged with animal cruelty felonies. And then prevented from ever owning another animal.
This is sick. I just want to go and save them all. Every one of these dogs has the potential to be someone's baby and best friend. Breaks your heart that they don't get a chance. There is a special spot in hell for these people.

to avoid medical care or legal action they sell. each litter of puppies brings big bucks according to the breed. people see a puppy & their heart melts. They don't know Mom had heartworms or broken teeth, or scalded pads from standing, eating, sleeping in feces & urine, or they are crippled w/ nerve damage from standing on wire everyday of their lives..."she has 6-7 good years in her" they don't give a sh*t what condition, if she has a womb she is fair game to "pop" & make them money.
I think you all are not being told the truth about these people not all of them even remotley bring their dogs to auctions but its not any different then a live a stock auction at all, ive never been to one of these ive been invited to private ones where they sell quality dogs not quanity dogs with akc reg, because i have spoke on line to a few of these breeders an some would rather kill their dogs then let a rescue get them, whether you all approve or disaprove they have rites too!
THEY AUCTION THEM TO OTHER BREEDERES BUT NOT ALL THE PUPS ARE SICK AN NOT ALL THE DOG AUCTIONS SELL UN HEALTHLY DOGS AT ALL, THE PRIVATE AUCTIONS BY INVITE ONLY SELL QUALITY AKC REG ONLY ANIMALS , SOME PREFER TO SELL AT DOG AUCTIONS AN SOME PREFER TOSELL TO JOBBERS BUT OTHERS LIKE AMISH SOME OF THEM KILL ALL THEIR UNWANTED DOGS USUALLY!
Your description is disturbing "shows how dogs are treated like livestock". Why are dogs anymore important than livestock. That is so sad. Do you think livestock is nay less sensitive and feeling, devoid of emotion? You are so wrong.
Because most of these dogs go to other mill owners and a lot of amish do this. Not all of them, that's not what the amish are all about. It just so happens that they have the farms for it
Congrats. You win the asshat award!

This isn't about the amish.......... Some..(some not all!!! that's not who or what they are or what they're about) are doing this. Just as some normal everyday people are. It just so happens that some...SOME have the farms to do the big puppy mill thing and are taking advantage of that. Go look up "Amish"
Thank heavens there's someone, like yourself, who know the truth, as most of these comments were curling my toes & caused hard face palms. Until people stop treating cats & dog breeds as a sort of social status or a "flavor of the month" sort of fad (I recall clearly the run on Dalmatians after the release of "101 Dalmatians" & lately it's been the mini breeds thanks to idiots like Paris Hilton. The best pets I have/had are shelter rescues.
When I was little and we were at the mall I would go and awww at the seemingly normal and very good-looking puppies there. Wishing that I had a dog. Do you really think these "idiots" know this?
Do you really think people stop and wonder if there is something horrible behind this? No! That's why we need to get people to know about this!
kind of a necessary evil. They are animals, and there is a demand for the animals. They have to be bred to meet demands. Cows get butchered for their meat, dogs get bred so people can have pets. Big fuckin deal.
How do we allow this to go on in our country? It is a travesty and must be stopped. Adopt, don't shop!!!
Rubiconxj - the bidders are rescue groups AND other puppy mill breeders who are looking for breed stock. Don't be fooled - many of the "loving" families who buy these poor dogs end up giving them up to shelters because they needed rehabilitation first... most of these mill dogs are not fit for regular family life unless that person is familiar with what it takes to get a dog acclimated.
Most of the bidders don't care.They're just trying to make a profit off of the dogs.But sumtimes the bidders are DECENT ppl that want an animal companion but either the dogs are selling for too high and another bidder gets them or they have too many health problems.These auctions should NOT be happening in the first place.
these poor dogs. these are the things that make me so sick and so angry. animals and i mean all animals dogs, horses, etc. they have beating hearts, they feel pain, they have needs, and they deserve to be loved and taken care of. things like dog auctions and puppy mills need to be shut down and stopped. i just wish people would take a stand! :(
so you would have everyone be a vegitarian? how do you expect to buy your meat at a store? It isnt made out of plants! SOME animals are meant to be meat for the human race.
I've been to a lot of stock auctions and here they have water, fodder (usually hay good quality hay) and shelter. Livestock arent treated in a disrespectful way or inhumanely; its simple doesnt make fiscal sense to play fast and loose with animals that can sometimes be worth many thousand dollars. I know a lot of farmers who treat their livestock better than their children (not that they mistreat their kids, they just dont pamper them as they would a $14k cow, strange but true)
As long as dogs are considered livestock and under the jurisdiction of the USDA and it's Puppy Mill regulations, then it will not stop.
Everyone needs to lobby the legislators of their states and congressmen to change the laws so that dogs are not considered 'livestock' that can be raised and treated in this way.
i am so angry and disgusted!! how is this legal?? omg!! something must be done.ever here the saying about a society being judged by the manner in which it treats animals....well god is watching..and everyone involved in this practice can go to hell.
wow that one scene around 6:50 was sooo saddening! i mean the white dog just laying there like get me out plz! help me i want a loving home! i wouldve adopted that baby and day! go to hell fucking auction assholes
I agree this is not right, But I do have one question, what makes these so different than CATTLE,HOGS,BABY PIGGIES,KIDS,Goats, Baby duckies and so on, those animals are sold the same way. AT LEAST AT THIS AUCTION TAPED THE AUCTIONER TELLS PEOPLE THAT THE ANIMAL IS INJUIRED OR HAS HERNIA.. Go to actual animal auctions auctioneers dont tell anything bad about the animal...HOW ABOUT PIGS COMING OUT TO BE SOLD WITH RUPTURES THE SIZE OF SOFTBALLS, or baby goats draggin one of ther legs...
Animals have done nothing to deserve this;its horrific.plus;the morons who insist on specially bred dogs are contributing to this practice.Unbelievable!!!!
This video just shows how obscene people are when it comes to animals..we should have a human auction..ant takers for a prat;any bids for a lowlife.;any takers for scum/untreatable?
blaming the USDA for these kinds of things is a lot like blaming the cops for every drunken driver that hits someone. you can't be in every place at all times, and when they are there, it's a hostile situation (notice the people cheering when the inspector was driven out). it's a thankless, underpaid, crappy gov't job. blame the people that drive the market - those that insist on "purebred" dogs, regardless of the quality or horrible source.
Its the AWA (Animal Welfare Act) and USDA that set the minimum standards for puppymills, and the auctions etc. They damn well better police what happens! They have set the bar so low that its inhumane in many instances. They made that bed, now they have to lie in it and we have to watch from the outside mostly helpless to stop or even change what goes on 'legally'. There was once a puppymill where I live - they got assholed out of town and out of business. National TV exposure helped a lot too.
your comment defies belief.Whos auctioning off the dogs;but i do agree with you about puppy mills.This is like walking through the markets in Borth Korea...hate this.
What I mean is that the auctioneer comes in to do a speedy job. ie, get them out of these horrible conditions as soon as possible. It seems to me the auctioneer is the least to blame in the process. They didn't breed, nor create these issues... and they are not to blame for the actions of the next owners either. Touchy opinion, I completely understand.
the speedier he gets rid of those, the speedier more take their place. the more suffering there is. the more money they make the more dogs they buy the more puppies that suffer, its a horrible viscous circle
I can't beleive they allow such practices to go on!! That is so sad and disgusting that people would do that! I don't understand what this world is coming too......
The Amish community is now seen in a different lime light. They are suppose to be against violence. Each one of these buyers should be required to witness euthanasia in animal shelters before they are allowed to buy any dogs for breeding. It is a heartbreaking cycle - cage, breed, give birth, kill the unwanted - all for money!!! Heartless people! And what is wrong with the USDA?? Get some responsible people in there!
These people are the bottom feeders of society. They should be arrested and put in prison for what they are doing to these dogs. Look at how sloppy they look and how they are dressed. Then there are the Amish as well. These people have no morals. 6:58 You can see that Dog's has been in a cage its entire life, it doesn't know how to walk well on solid ground at all.
Puppy Store Puppies are being hauled in Semi-Trailers out of Missouri to Indiana Pet Stores. How can this be tolerated in our State of Indiana? Where is the laws for this? WHY & Tell me how they pass these inspections? I will be doing anything I can in Indiana to try my best to get the Laws here in our State of Indiana CHANGED for these poor babies!
I guess, unfortunately, that as long as people buy them then there will always be dog auctions. I have a feeling that a large part of these little babies are shipped and inspected illegally to the detriment of their own lives and for their breeders' "benefit".
I have a question... I didn't know this kind of reality before. I am not sure I understand... I mean: who do they auction the dogs to? Do they go to some people who were looking for a companion?? I hope it is so. This would mean that these dogs won't be killed by breeders who don't want them anymore???
They usually go to other puppy millers. Sometimes rescue people buy the dogs if they can, but almost all of the dogs go from one puppy mill to another -- sometimes being sold over and over again at different auctions throughout their lives.
OMG...that's incomprehensible!! I mean, if a breeder wants to get rid of one/a few of his dogs for several reasons(basically linked to the fact that they're no more useful),why would another breeder get them?? I thought these auction were addressed only to merciful people...!
My stomach churned When I saw "Those with -Hernia" My dog was born with a Hernia, and the owner was just all cussing at my dog like it was some dead cow in the back of her yard, and my Min-Pin is the sweetest dog ever. -I hate puppy mills-
omg that was wriggling to get free when the man picked it upits scary for the dogs they are small dogs that are suppose to be kept to the ground they cant go uo that high its lik a ten story building for us
JR Ewing and his hoppos pissed me off watching this, treating these poor dogs as though they are used cars. These lazy tossers should get off there arse and find a proper job
I love the sunsets in Missouri, they're something to see... born and raised in MO, ASHAMED to live here and breathe the same air as people like this. I can't say what I think should happen to these people, what I'd like to do because I'd be locked up in a loony bin but this is so WRONG.
People need to be taught to value the lives of animals, not just consider them their 'property'. They are not ipods or shoes, they are living, breathing beings. While they have no 'value' other than the monetary one associated with their purchase, then there will never be laws that will be designed to treat them as anything but a persons property.
Teach compassion to all children, teach them that all lives have value, maybe the next generation can do a better job than the generations before.
my husband and I have 3 dog's,two cats,and a couple horses and our 9 1/2 month old daughter loves all of them and she will know to respect and love any animal that comes to us!!!
In American the almighty dollar is what counts, not animals lives. If grannies were worth money, there would be granny auctions. They would sell their own grannies to make a buck. Only in America. This sort of vile auction where animals are not important and get sort to anyone, even animal abusers as long as they have money, is illegal in my enlightened country thank goodness, but then the English are known to be a nation of animal lovers.
nope. Definately no dog auctions over here since it is illegal to auction things like that..Since the auctions over there are advertised publicly, how do people NOT know about them? Most breeders over here will not sell to USAF personnel because they are treated badly and simply abandoned when they get posted back to the USA.
I'm glad to know I'd sell my own grandmother. Theirs evil everywhere if you know where to look. I know you didn't mean that for everyone but..... People have money-worshiping-$#%^& everywhere.
Everyone PLEASE GO TO THIS WEBSITE YOU CAN HELP END THIS ANIMAL ABUSE! GO TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES AND YOU CAN DONATE TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY TO STOP ALL OF THIS IF EVERYONE DONATES THIS WILL END ALL OF THIS THANK YOU!
I don't think the humane society will completely END it.. but i think what they TRY to do is a great thing.
Sometimes they can be a bit strict though. I had to go to a dog breeder to get a pet since it seemed all of New england ones didn't like me. I tried though.. half a year later I gave up though.
I am totally disguted. Iam going to have the USDA investigated and do something about this crime!!!!!!! I think everyone on here should try and help to ban this horrible crime! Its sickening. It comes from satan himself! when God comes back this will all end!!!!! I am going to do something about this!
Are you seriously blind? You can not possibly be an educated, moral person! There's NOTHING WRONG with allowing dogs to go blins, live in tiny cages and being attacked by other dogs? There's NOTHING WRONG with being bred over and over again only to have your puppies taken away from you too soon? ARE YOU INSANE? Wait, why am I even asking... You are plain disgusting and I wouldn't think twice about putting you in that cage for the rest of your life, you bastard!
Most caring breeders wont put dogs together that wont get along. Also the usda law states that the dog must have twice the amount of room to stand, turn and sit easily. If there isnt, something is being violated by puppymillers!!
Also most breeders wont take pups away from the mother unless the mother has weaned them. There are a few bad breeders, but there are some caring ones too (like those who raise them in their house!).
The USDAs minimum requirements for dog housing at puppymills is only that the cage be 6 inches longer than the dog (from base of tail, not tip) and 6 inches higher, and the height/length squared to calculate floorspace. That is definately NOT twice the size of the dog sorry. And if the USDA was so concerned that dogs are able to sit, stand and move freely they would ensure that these hellholes not only had plans on paper for excercise areas, but that the cretins actually built and used them.
Watch PetShopPuppies clip "the USDA and Puppymills" to find out exactly how highly the US Government regards the life, health, welfare and comfort of mans best friend. Its pathetic, perverse and totally corrupt.
When we used to have a kennel, we built it to where each dog had 4 times the room to run and move. I guess I thought we got this out of the USDA rules. YIKES! If they ok crowding the dogs that much, then they need a major change in legislation!! Wow.
Our dogs are in large fenced yards now, or in our house, and I am glad! They are so much happier!
Awesome! And I bet your dogs love you for it too... they mightnt be able to tell you in words but I bet their faces and tails say a lot! :D Feels good to have happy healthy dogs that love you doesn't it? :D I love my dog Wendy and it shows in how she acts. She is a working dog, fulltime on the farm. She rounds up anything I ask her to (cows, calves, sheep, horses, pigs, goats, chooks - wont round up cats, kittens or people tho, I tried as a joke!) She's the smartest dog in the world I reckon :D
its terrible. i live near lancaster where puppymills are really bad and i see these horrors on billboards and stuff....when will the misery ever end?? dogs have feelings too!
I had a dog that I adopted from a "breeder" in Ohio. The dog was very sick and had numerous health problems, including severe hip dysplasia. I had to have this dog put down. She was scared to death of people. God only knows what this "breeder" did to my dog. I have not adopted another dog since being I am still very upset about this entire situation. We need to shut down these disgusting auctions now!
as long as American want to buy pups from shops in malls, as long as people think they have a 'right' to own a dog regardless of whether they live in a tiny apartment or work 12 hours a day ,this sort of thing will continue. Puppy mills thrive because it is too easy to get a pup, get rid when it becomes a nuisance, becomes a nuisance....ad infinitum.
Americans need to press their own governmental bodies for change, they need to educate the dog buying populace NOT to buy from pet stores.
You know, the sites that the videos refer to are American. That's what they're doing. Educating the dog buying populace not to buy dogs from pet stores. The large chain pet stores in the US don't even sell dogs. In fact, they often have animal rescue groups come in for adoption drives. It's the small independent shops that sell dogs.
A good breeder will insure the dog you buy from them for up to one year against hereditary problems. Also any dog you buy from a breeder should have had a veterinarians health certificate, showing what tests were performed.
Thank you so much for helping the public become aware of the horrible truth behind the cute little pups in the clean little pet shops across america. Often times it seems like an insurmountable task in educating the public on pet shop puppies and where they come from. My heart absolutely breaks in the realization that these dogs are treated so inhumanely, and suffer so terribly, all for the love of money.
I am heartbroken for these dogs and can't watch without uncontroled crying, so while I won't watch again.. I will never do anything but Adopt from my local ASPCA shelter,then I know the fee I pay will help other animals, please do the same,the animals there need us and we need them!
I HAVE a dog that a Rescue got at one of these auctions. He is STILL fearful of humans after being free for over a year. What in God's name did these people do to him???!!! When I look in his eyes, I cry over the harm that was done to him.
This is completely disgusting. I am not surprised that some are Amish dog auctions. It is a bit shocking to me that they would treat animals this way. Nice example the adults are making for kids. EVERYONE involved w/these auctions are sick. Let's put them in a 2x2 cage & see how they are in a day, let alone for the rest of their lives. These make me question the idea of God. If I offend you, too bad.... My heart is broken in to a million pieces now knowing that these exist. I feel helpless.
The Humane society in my county is cleaner than the non kill dirty ass help shelter. In my opinon its better to adopt from a kill shelter they mostly only adopt out well behaved animals. I think no kill shelters should be shut down they adopt out non healthy, non socialized, dog who really need put down.
that is the worse thing I have ever seen happening to those poor pups. They can't even stand up in their cages. Sick bastards. I hope God puts them all in the same type kennel when they cross over. No one will be waiting at Rainbow Bridge for them. Maybe a pack of dogs to chew them up.
This is absolutely disgusting!! Please, everyone watching this video spread the word far and wide. People must be made aware of the horrors of the puppymill industry before a real difference can be made.
I commend you for doing these educational videos. Afterall, education is where we must begin.
thats like auctioning children. the most crucial one to me was teh old english sheepdog with the one eye, i have 2 old english sheepdogs. down with the dog auctioning.
no, we abort children instead. comparing humans to dogs is NO comparison, but even the humane society supports abortion...but lies about "saving" dogs. Geez. Whats more important? Us or dogs?
What the hell is this? Dogs being auctioned? I can't believe what I am seeing. Another great undercover video from PetShopPuppies. Thank you for making me aware. I feel like I have been living under a rock. I had no idea these things go on.
All these comments are read by these people that are cruel in the videos, so just want to say what happens when a certain gang sees this and gets pissed, yes man with beard, they are coming for you...

these poor dogs. these are the things that make me so sick and so angry. animals and i mean all animals dogs, horses, etc. they have beating hearts, they feel pain, they have needs, and they deserve to be loved and taken care of. things like dog auctions and puppy mills need to be shut down and stopped. i just wish people would take a stand! :(

Yea this is sad and inhumain. But why should it be that dogs are the exeption? Cows, Sheep, Horses....... All are auctioned, wots the diference?
I agree dog auctions should be stoped but so should all auctions and saled involving animals. Its no better that slavery.

The way that we treat our food animals and unwanted pets is descusting and should be stoped.
It is not the quantity of any life that matters, its the quality.

I've been to a lot of stock auctions and here they have water, fodder (usually hay good quality hay) and shelter. Livestock arent treated in a disrespectful way or inhumanely; its simple doesnt make fiscal sense to play fast and loose with animals that can sometimes be worth many thousand dollars. I know a lot of farmers who treat their livestock better than their children (not that they mistreat their kids, they just dont pamper them as they would a $14k cow, strange but true)

As long as dogs are considered livestock and under the jurisdiction of the USDA and it's Puppy Mill regulations, then it will not stop.
Everyone needs to lobby the legislators of their states and congressmen to change the laws so that dogs are not considered 'livestock' that can be raised and treated in this way.

AT LEAST AT THIS AUCTION TAPED THE AUCTIONER TELLS PEOPLE THAT THE ANIMAL IS INJUIRED OR HAS HERNIA.. Go to actual animal auctions auctioneers dont tell anything bad about the animal...HOW ABOUT PIGS COMING OUT TO BE SOLD WITH RUPTURES THE SIZE OF SOFTBALLS, or baby goats draggin one of ther legs...

blaming the USDA for these kinds of things is a lot like blaming the cops for every drunken driver that hits someone. you can't be in every place at all times, and when they are there, it's a hostile situation (notice the people cheering when the inspector was driven out). it's a thankless, underpaid, crappy gov't job. blame the people that drive the market - those that insist on "purebred" dogs, regardless of the quality or horrible source.

Its the AWA (Animal Welfare Act) and USDA that set the minimum standards for puppymills, and the auctions etc. They damn well better police what happens! They have set the bar so low that its inhumane in many instances. They made that bed, now they have to lie in it and we have to watch from the outside mostly helpless to stop or even change what goes on 'legally'. There was once a puppymill where I live - they got assholed out of town and out of business. National TV exposure helped a lot too.

What I mean is that the auctioneer comes in to do a speedy job. ie, get them out of these horrible conditions as soon as possible. It seems to me the auctioneer is the least to blame in the process.

I hope it is so. This would mean that these dogs won't be killed by breeders who don't want them anymore???
jennina1010 3 years ago
They usually go to other puppy millers. Sometimes rescue people buy the dogs if they can, but almost all of the dogs go from one puppy mill to another -- sometimes being sold over and over again at different auctions throughout their lives.

People need to be taught to value the lives of animals, not just consider them their 'property'. They are not ipods or shoes, they are living, breathing beings. While they have no 'value' other than the monetary one associated with their purchase, then there will never be laws that will be designed to treat them as anything but a persons property.
Teach compassion to all children, teach them that all lives have value, maybe the next generation can do a better job than the generations before.

In American the almighty dollar is what counts, not animals lives. If grannies were worth money, there would be granny auctions. They would sell their own grannies to make a buck. Only in America. This sort of vile auction where animals are not important and get sort to anyone, even animal abusers as long as they have money, is illegal in my enlightened country thank goodness, but then the English are known to be a nation of animal lovers.

Most caring breeders wont put dogs together that wont get along. Also the usda law states that the dog must have twice the amount of room to stand, turn and sit easily. If there isnt, something is being violated by puppymillers!!
Also most breeders wont take pups away from the mother unless the mother has weaned them. There are a few bad breeders, but there are some caring ones too (like those who raise them in their house!).
sharlamaben 2 years ago 2
The USDAs minimum requirements for dog housing at puppymills is only that the cage be 6 inches longer than the dog (from base of tail, not tip) and 6 inches higher, and the height/length squared to calculate floorspace. That is definately NOT twice the size of the dog sorry. And if the USDA was so concerned that dogs are able to sit, stand and move freely they would ensure that these hellholes not only had plans on paper for excercise areas, but that the cretins actually built and used them.

as long as American want to buy pups from shops in malls, as long as people think they have a 'right' to own a dog regardless of whether they live in a tiny apartment or work 12 hours a day ,this sort of thing will continue. Puppy mills thrive because it is too easy to get a pup, get rid when it becomes a nuisance, becomes a nuisance....ad infinitum.
Americans need to press their own governmental bodies for change, they need to educate the dog buying populace NOT to buy from pet stores.

You know, the sites that the videos refer to are American. That's what they're doing. Educating the dog buying populace not to buy dogs from pet stores.
