We the undersigned want to end the factory farming of puppies. As our beloved animal's companions we don't want to have off spring of caged for life parents that passed on  unnatural behavior and diseases, it breaks our hearts and our pocket books. There is no accountability for the puppy peddlers, the uncaring producers and most of all; EVERY COMMUNITY IS KILLING excess healthy adoptable animals every day. We just don't need puppy peddlers.

The key is to spay and neuter pets. The best friends in the world I adopted from a rescue organization.

I have gotten a puppy from a pet store, another from a breeder and most important I have rescued many of my pets. I will only adopt my future friends. I feel bad that I have contributed to a possible puppy mill, I have learned my lesson and I will pass this message along.

There's no need to ever buy a pet from a petshop - you can get wonderful animals, including pure breds, from shelters - already spayed/neutered, vaccinated and vet checked. Adopting saves lives and stops the perpetual puppy/kitty mill cycle.

If you buy a puppy from a Pet Store then chances are it came from a Puppy Mill. Many shelters have Pedigree dogs if that is what you want or buy from a reputable breeder. I will not buy any products from a pet store that I know sells puppies from a puppy mill. The dogs are kept in deplorable conditions & have litter after litter. All States should investigate Puppy Mills & close them down, it is a cruel & abusive business.

A shameful exploitation of a living, feeling creature. Not to mention the millions of dogs already languishing in shelters.

All of this stuff just makes my heart ache, if anyone could do this to innocent sweet animals what stops them from carrying it on to poor innocent human beings? A life is a life no matter what.

These people who profit from these animals only care about the almighty buck....we have to speak for these innocent creatures that cannot speak for themselves..I never knew about any of the horror until I educated myself...we must educate others and get rid of these people who call what they do "decent"..they are not.

To have so many lives taken through euthanasia to satisfy the greed of mankind is unconscionable, unethical and immoral. Please put an end to this vicious circle and adopt your companion animals.

Puppy mills are a lousy way to make a living. You prey on the helpless. What is worse, people buy these animals. They are the real perps.

to buy from a pet shop you might as well go out and start your own puppy mill as it is the same fate to the dogs. if you buy you support and you are saying that this is OK. That it is not.

I think I speak for us all when I say puppy farms+petstore associates can kiss my hairy a**e. We dont want retards running pet stores let alone encourage the hideous acts they conduct behind closed doors. Its time they are ALL shut down. Theres no excuse for them. They are heartless scum who have outlived their pointless lives.

Anyone who sells pets out of a store is not a repsonsible breeder and they would not allow their dogs to be sold out of a store. All stores, that currently practice this, must be shut down.

Puppy mills are one of the worst forms of cruelty ever invented by mankind. You can help put puppy mills out of business by ADOPTING your next dog instead of buying one.
