My home country (Finland) made it illegal to sell dogs or cats at pet stores.

It's working, and still almost everyone here has a dog or a cat, and no strays.

Look at my puppy mill video

[Bonniebrubeckjeter]

These breeders are unable to make a living any other way, they are typical uneducated, white trash and lack the skills or education to do anything else.

I don't understand how so many people can comment on this video trying to defend the puppy mill owners. Any decent humane person should be disturbed by this. Truly heart breaking.

Hi i'm from Germany-

and i really don't understand why i hear so much horrible things about animal abuse from a country like the USA. I even heard in some shelters animals are gassed or killed in other most horrible ways even if there are lots of empty cages. It is horrible!!!!!!!

I think there can't be a way of healthy social living for humans where animals are abused in that way.

I really get very sick, sad and tired watching this!!!!!!! Let's hope not all facilities are THAT bad!!!

@labrat882 More countries should be like Finland! Australia has millions of pet stores with puppies and it's horrible

@jenaworrell Get a real job and stop trying to profit off of innocent animals.

[Doodle1Bean]

@jenaworrell Give us all some more information, please. Which overcrowding situation was yours?

[jenaworrell]

This is ridiculous and an invasion of privacy!! The funny thing is that whatever dumbass took these pics did not even do my facility justice. The part you cannot see is the otherside, where we have a half acre fenced in and large concrete runs. The side that is showing is for moms that are having pups or pups I am weaning. We spend a lot of time out here with our dogs and love them all like pets. They all have names and know their names. They also get out to run EVERYDAY, as do the puppies!!

Did you watch the video? It says PET stores and PUPPY MILLS not responsible breeders. Perhaps you should do more research before you respond to topics you know nothing about.
