Looks crazy doesnt it? Well, it works. Frustrated to teach people what puppy mills do, I guess I was desperate to get the word out. As I drive my truck from town to town, people stop me, in total shock, and admit they simply didnt know.

What they didnt know is that puppies and kittens in pet stores, pet shops, and yes, flea markets, are born from the puppy mill trade. Puppy mills sell their pups for $5 or $10 a piece, while the pet stores sell them for hundreds. What many do not know is most of the puppies die on the way to be sold. The sick ones die as other puppies smother them in a hot truck. The Pet Store will say that the pups are registered pure breeds, but registered where? AKC? Doubt it! Phony agencies are created, papers are provided, but the papers are worthless. But, thats not the point.

Puppy mill animals are usually sick with a host of issues. Puppy millers cant afford veterinary care for the parents or the puppies. No need to worry though, because once you purchase one of these puppies, youll be footing the bill for kennel cough, respiratory infections, possibly parvo, and serious genetic disorders that wont even be diagnosed for several years. Lets face it, youll be buying a sick dog. Why should you care?

Puppy Mills and Euthanasia

You should care because 4—5 million dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States every year, and the numbers are rising.

The puppy mills are creating an over-abundant supply, but the demand in this country, is low. So, these animals end up, in one way or another, in a local pound. If theyre lucky, theyll make it into a rescue and wait to be adopted, but most of them are simply killed. In states that ban gassing with carbon monoxide, the dogs will be humanely euthanized by injection. In states that still gas, the dogs will be killed by the dozen by asphyxiation. Gruesome, isnt it?

Bottom Line—its all about Greed
Think about it, less than 25 years ago, there was only your local pound. Today, there are shelters and rescues practically on every street corner, and individuals who privately rescue, one dog at a time. Even reputable breeders are shunned today, which is a shame. If we could only focus on banning the mass breeding practices of the puppy mills, we could all be much happier.

My friend called me and told there was a guy selling puppies from a truck, so I went to check it out, ready to give him a piece of my mind. When I found him I was so relieved and told him what a good job he was doing. I volunteer at the humane society. What a wonderful man to do this for the poor animals who cant speak for themselves.

In webster massachusetts, a truck from missouri was found carrying puppies in the truck. The truck was bringing them to local kennels in MY AREA! I live near webster, so It was very sad to hear this news, as most of the kennels in my area were in the puppy mill deal. Please stop puppy mills!

People can't do anything about mills until they know they exist......I just brought them out of the "shadows".........I'm just "doing the best I can" .

[puppymilltruck]

Thanks for the support..I thought hard about the most effective thing to do and came up with that.....The public needs to get up in outrage at this stuff.
