I am not a die hard animal rights activist but I am an animal rescuer. I have seen survivors from the horrors of some puppy mills that don't take proper care of their animals. I would just like to know what people think about puppy mills. I have heard some that think they ought to be shut down and others who say they should be left alone. What do you feel about it and why?

I definately think they should be shut down. I don't know about everything that goes on there, but I don't want to know either. I know it's bad. We wont even get our dogs from petstores because of puppymills. We go to breeders or shelters.

Yes I totally feel they should ALL be shut down. I feel so bad for the puppies when I hear of the horror stories. Those ppl should have to live for a month in the same environment that those poor puppies have had to live in. If they were made to do that, I bet for sure they would never start another one and would be fighting to help the poor puppies out.

I live in Ohio and there was a big problem with the Amish puppy sellers.They was horrible to these animals and if anyone does this they should not be allowed to continue and fined big time.

yes i think they should be shut down i have heard horror stories as well..and they are already so many animals out there they need rescueing and adopting for local shelters..let alone people keeping animals in deplorable conditions making them breed and not taking care of the mother father of the babies...makes me very sad to see...but i guess somewhere they are places that take care of their animals and we dont see those but they ones we do see ...NOT good at all
