The Truth About Puppy Mills
Lisa and Bill spend the next two days tracing the pet store puppies back to their breeders. Bill has fostered relationships with hundreds of breeders across Pennsylvania.He asks them to give him the dogs they no longer want or, worse, the ones they're planning to kill. Bill says these breeders most often want to get rid of older females and younger males. Breeders only need one or two male dogs to breed with every 20 fertile females, so young female dogs are valuable in puppy mills.Lisa and Bill head to the breeder where the black cockapoo was born. The breeder tells them its mother is one of the dogs in cages outside. Lisa and Bill then followed the breeder into a building full of cramped wooden crates stuffed with dogs. "The spaces are so small, the mothers are stepping all over their babies," Lisa says. Bill says he thinks many of these dogs have never walked in the grass though they live on a 60-acre property.Visiting the home of the Labrador retriever puppies, Lisa and Bill find the lab puppies' mother in a small, mud-filled pen. Her teats are swollen—Bill says this is evidence she's had many litters of puppies.
Lisa and Bill continue on to see other nearby puppy mills. In one, they find 30 to 40 dogs in wire-floored rabbit cages stacked to the ceiling in a room that reeks of urine and feces.Before they go to one breeder's property, Bill warns Lisa about what she may see. "It's probably the worst place I've ever been to in my life. He has dogs running on wheels in fan casings," Bill says. The contraptions look like big gerbil wheels. "[The breeder] claims that it's good for them because they get exercise," Bill says.That breeder wouldn't let them see his dogs, but Lisa and Bill saw two dead animals on the property.At a third breeder's facility, Lisa and Bill see outdoor cages that house scores of Pomeranians. Bill tells Lisa that not only have those dogs probably never been out of those small cages, it's likely that they remain outside even in bad weather and could die from exposure.

Baru sabtu kemarin jam 11.00 WIB nonton Oprah, darimana anak2 anjing berasal, anak2 anjing yg lucu yg ada di toko2?
mereka menyiapkan 3 ekor anjing pejantan siap dikawinkan dgn 20 ekor anjing betina.
1 ekor betina bisa beranak 2 kali setahun, lihat puting2nya membengkang saking sering beranak,
sampai ndak pernah dirawat atau dicek kesehatannya.
anjing2 betina dikurung sejak lahir hingga beranak, ndak bisa berjalan dgn baik, di atas rumput pula.
99% peternakan di seluruh amerika sangat tidak bertanggung jawab terhadap anjing2 di peternakannya.
