14,338 3:41 pm PDT, Aug 16 Lisa Fleener Female Minnesota Puppy mills should be banned! Everyone that want a dog should be required to get them from shelters. There are millions of dogs and cats that would make wonderful, loving pets killed every year! They need homes now. A mutt is just as wonderful of a pet as any pure breed, often better, since mills inbreed their dogs! The AKC should be put out of business period.
14,337 9:02 pm PDT, Aug 15 Nova Bonzek Female Massachusetts I think the practice of having puppy mills is one of the most inhumane there is. I feel that in this day and age we all know better than to treat animals like this. I think that better care could be taken of stray animals, or the prevention of stray animal overpopulation. To feed them, get them homes, etc. we need better "marketing." It's pointless and cruel to use puppy mills of any kind. Save the ones out there first before breeding more than people can even handle. It just encourages irresponsible pet ownership to deal with animals this way.

14,334 1:05 pm PDT, Aug 14 Sarah Sanchez Female Montana We talk about how we are against animal abuse and how much we love our purebred dogs but isn't it abuse when these dogs aren't being loved or used as family pets but just to make someone some extra cash? That isn't why dogs should be bred. Their motto is for the love of purebred dogs but puppy mills isn't doing it for the love. They are doing it for the money.

14,330 4:12 pm PDT, Aug 12 Mia Mallette Female Nevada   I do not think the AKC should register puppies from puppy mills, becasue it is just encouraging puppy mills to keep breeding. If we stopped registering them, it may downsize the amount of puppy mills in the USA

14,328 2:01 am PDT, Aug 12 Jo Kampen Female   Breeding vulnerable little lives is an evil and cowardly way to make a living. Stop exploiting dogs and go and get a proper job. Inhumane and spoilt rotten, it's the USA turning a blind eye for profit.
14,327 2:28 pm PDT, Aug 11 Susan Tate Female Nevada Shut them all down! It is an outrage!

14,323 8:09 pm PDT, Aug 9 kim armour Female   all puppy mills should be shut down. aka should not allow this. In canada you cannot register a pup that came from a pet store/puppy mill. All pure bred puppies bought in pet stores come from puppy mills despite what they tell you.
14,322 3:18 am PDT, Aug 9 Leah hind Female   I think all animals should be treated with respect, and they ARE NOT when it comes to puppy mills, also people deserve a good chance of friendship with their pup, when they are from puppy mills they are often left with no human contact at all leaving them frightened of people, and so they may sometimes end up in the pound because the ownder is unable to bond. fabulous work, im proud of them but i wish there was no mill to rescue from int he firstplace x
14,321 8:14 pm PDT, Aug 8 Anonymous Female Nevada They are horrendous and our government should put much stricter regulations in place (with a way to monitor) to prevent the cruelty and inhumane conditions. Although I would rather get a rescue animal, those that wish to get a purebred should be able to know with certainty that their pet came from a caring, humane, and healthy environment. It is disgusting that an organization built on the supposed love of an animal would allow these animals to be registered because it only perpetuates the problem by giving puppy mills legitimacy.
14,320 6:26 pm PDT, Aug 8 Julie Brown Female Nevada I think they should all be shut down. Dogs deserve a better life. The AKC has a moral obligation to protect the rights of all purebred dogs. They should ban puppy mill dogs .
