To make puppy mills illegal in FL.

Puppy mills are cruel and inhumane. See the way these animals live out their lives until their breeding days are over. Animals are forced to live in cages with little food and water and no medical care. Then they are killed cruelly, and all for the sake of money! Is money really worth the death of all these poor animals? Please sign this petition and also contact your state representative to outlaw this practice. We need at least 60,000  Floridian signatures so we can send this to state and try to make it a bill. We can be contacted at savethedogsfl@care2.com.

For one to regard themselves as human, you must regard yourself as animal. Who can watch fellow animals suffer so? Money-chasers and hypocrites, that's who.

The fact that puppy mills exist completely disgusts me. I'm aware that there are people out there who can be considered "not dog people" but there are also a great percentage who love them. The should not be raised in such a matter, it is ridiculous.

I have been disturbed by puppy mills for a long time, but an episode of animal cops philidelphia was on tonight and investigating puppy mills and i was in tears, how it it right for any of these animals to be treated this way, good people like us need to help save them!

Please put an end to the cruel practice of puppy mills. Having been involved in dog rescue for a number of years, I have seen first hand the devastating results. The puppy mill dogs are simply a "cash crop" They almost always have medical issues that go untreated. They are crowded together in cages, forced to live in their own urine and poop. They do not know the feel of grass beneath their feet or a kind touch. Human contact is minimal and so they are poorly socialized. Also, often they are "debarked" in the cruelest of manner with a pipe shoved down their thoat without benefit of a vet or anesthesia. Ears and tails are cut as well without benefit of a vet or anesthesia. Please put an end to puppy mills and let's act as a civilized nation and support compassion and kindness to all living creatures. Thank you for your consideration and action on this urgent matter.

I'm disgusted that our society allows puppy mills to stay in bussiness. We need to educate our friends and family about the inhumane conditions that animals have to live in when raised in puppy mills and to not support them by buying puppy's from pet stores.

I find it apalling that we as Americans and especially as Floridians allow animals to live in such deplorable conditions and continue to allow people to buy animals from these money hungry companies! Please stop the madness!

I recently adopted a pug even though it was not from a puppy mill, the owner basically treated her the same, she was breed to soon and was kept in her crate for hours and hours which left her having kidney, bladder and fungus infections. I hope that enough people will sign this petition because these animals have no voice and we are the only ones that can help stop this cruelty with our voice and signatures!

They're just slaves for greed. All people who want puppy mills, what if you were there, with barely food, water, or shelter, and forced to have sex just so your children are taken away to be sold and you will never see them again.

Mass Production at PUPPY MILL "kennels', leads to MASS production in the euthanasia room! Please create a Bill fair to legitimate breeders while harsh on cruelty.

We need to stop animal cruelty for monetry gain, this is a very easy way for some people to earn money, the consequences need to be massive to deter these individuals, as currently they are not. Min 5 yr imprisonment.

I do not want Florida to be part of the horrible business of puppy mills. For the sake of the poor defenseless animals, all states should ban puppy mills.

Puppy Mills are an abomination!! Working with Florida Boxer Rescue, we have seen our fair share of purchases from Puppy Mills (that often end in letters to us wanting them rehomed NOW) always displacing a rescue in need. Banning of Puppy Mills would help insure healthy dogs from RESPONSIBLE breeders.

I can not believe that puppy mills are not illegal. This is nothing short of animal cruelty. I read about the debarking procedure, and could not sleep for a week. It was so horrifying, I would not forward the email to certain of my friends. I am actively involved in rescue, and will do whatever is in my power, to stop this cruelty. If people knew that there are currently 300 surrenders daily, at the county "kill shelter", maybe they would open their eyes to the need to spay and neuter their animals.
