To halt this terrible injustice refuse to buy a puppy from any facility you have any suspicions about.Please visit your local huumane society and give an otherwise unwanted animal a chance.

You should treat others as you would like to be treated and that also goes for dogs. Just because they can not speak English does not mean they can't feel and don't have a soul.

I am an animal lover and think it is dispicable that these puppy mills exist. It is the same as a "baby factory" illegal adoption to me.

Please stop puppy mills! I find it very disturbing that we love our animals so much but yet allow them to be treated in such a horrible way. It has to stop. I am boycotting any store that sells animals and I am also spreading the word here in Massachusetts about puppy mills and where they send there dogs.

Puppymills are an abomination. They should be held to much higher standards and IF THEY DON'T COMPLY THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN.

There are numerous wonderful pets which need to be adopted in shelters around the state. I personally will NEVER purchase a pet being produced strictly for monetary gain while great pets like our adopted dog are sitting and waiting to be taken to a good home.

I often wonder about Puppy Corral located in Memphis. Too many times they have told me to come back & see sibling pups the next day. They say they keep the litters in a barn in the back however they will not permit potential customers to go back there. What reputable breeder wont let you see the animal living conditions. Something sounds fishy. Puppy mills are sad and I have seen too many new reports to count with the horrid conditions in these places. Breeders need more regulations.
