Commercial Dog Breeders
The following photos are of legal USDA commercial dog breeders located in the United States. We refer to commercial breeders as puppy mills.
USDA licensed dog breeders can legally sell and ship puppies online sight unseen.
You will see, there is no puppy mill building, these commercial dog breeders make due with what they have on their property. Some of these breeders build or purchase structures to specifically farm puppies.
It is estimated there are over 10,000 puppy mills selling over 1,000,000 puppies through the internet, social media pages and online classified ads.
This industry is all about cruelty, fraud and of course… money.
The photos speak for themselves. They show the dogs living with constant medical issues that rarely get treated by a veterinarian. The dogs live in these cages 24/7… 365 days a year. Their only job is to make puppies, regardless if they are sick or in pain.
If you can’t meet the mother dog and see where and how she lives…..don’t buy the puppy.
