550 dogs rescued from Kaufman, Texas puppy mill

Most of the dogs sold in pet stores and over the Internet come from puppy mills -- mass breeding operations where hundreds of dogs are kept in overcrowded and often unsanitary conditions without proper veterinary care, food, water or human interaction.

Watch this video to find out how miserable life is for a puppy mill dog.

For two weeks in August 2009, United Animal Nations (UAN) deployed 34 volunteers with its Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS) to remove approximately 550 dogs from a puppy mill and care for them at a temporary shelter.

The dogs were found living in filthy conditions and exposed to harsh elements year round. Many were severely matted and suffering from chronic infected wounds, internal and external parasites, and serious skin and eye infections. It was obvious that many of these animals had never known life outside their wire cages.

I am glad that so many people are bringing these horrible places to the attention of others and doing something about it. Thank you for sharing your video. If people would like to support a good cause and help us save more dogs and promote getting your dog from a shelter, NOT pet shops or other sources of puppy farm dogs then could you come to my page and watch my rescue dogs video and VOTE for us please? We need your help to save more dogs :-) THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This is terrible, I helped with a puppy mill bust with 375 dogs and it is amazing how sweet dogs can actually be after they have been neglected like that.

@beztez24 There are many worse videos on youtube about puppymills. Try searching PETA Undercover Puppy mill investigations on youtube.

@Lyhraify either way you both take away the lives of shelter dogs...

@beztez24 im wondering that too? im from scotland and i dont know if it does but here in scotland its ilegal to sell dogs in pet stores now

[Peneloupee]

I am not a violent person by any means, but I do wish there were a way to make these breeders suffer the same way that they make these poor animals suffer! Putting them in jail or fining them is NOT ENOUGH!

i cried :(

but ppl when you watch this remember that the dogs that get rescued are now in safe hands and rescues like this are caypible of finding most of them new homes.
