Nervous dogs
from a "kennel liquidation" sit in wire cages, waiting for their turn
to be be sold at auction. They haven't known anything but such cages their
entire lives, and likely never will. They will never have a chance to run in
the grass or play or enjoy the company of the humans their puppies are being
produced to please.
BUT THAT'S
OK, says the largest breeder in Wisconsin, because dogs don't miss what
they don 't know. "These dogs all have their little dog family, their
pack, in that pen. . .That 's all they know and they like it there. Dogs, if
they 're always raised with dogs, they don 't want to fool with people. These
dogs enjoy their life the way it is."

IS THAT OK
WITH YOU?
IT'S
NOT OK WITH US!
A Puppy/Pet
Mill Is (short version):
Anyplace that
animals are kept in cramped cages or pens like chickens, and/or forced to
endure physical abuse in many forms, poor food and not enough of it, filthy
conditions, constant breeding, little attention — conditions that, as the
old saying goes, "you wouldn't keep a dog in" — so that their
owner can make more money from them, is a MILL.
Doesn't make any
difference whether there is one breeding female or 1,000; whether the animals
are dogs, or cats, birds, hamsters, lizards, or guinea pigs; if their sole
purpose is to make money for their owners and their treatment isn't up to even
the barest standards of common-sense decency, it's a MILL.

I am sometimes asked, "Why do you spend so
much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so
much cruelty to men?"
I answer: "I am working at the roots."
