Furious is more like it.
This mess that happened in Webster with the puppies being shipped here from Wisconsin isn't some ground-breaking thing. Horrifying, yes. Terrible, absolutely. Animal cruelty, NO DOUBT.
But any pet store you have ever walked into that sells puppies gets their dogs from disgusting human beings like this. Cute little puppies in pet stores ALL come from Puppy Mills. There are no two ways around it. They say that they come from a private breeder because technically, that's true. The people who run these mills are looking to make a profit. And pet stores are too. They cannot afford to pay the prices that REPUTABLE breeders charge. They'd never make money.
I'm not against buying purebred puppies. Some breeders are working hard to further the lines and qualities of a breed. But pet stores that sell puppies are vicious awful places. Even the ones that look nice inside. That includes Puppies Galore, Laughlin Kennel, Elite Puppies, Debbie's Pet Land, and many many others.
Not all puppies from these places are bad. Of course not. Sometimes you can get a wonderful dog from there. But their mothers are being tortured and bred to death in mills. And for every puppy bought, one more is produced in those breeding hells and is shipped on trucks like the one found in Webster.
This isn't meant to attack anyone personally. Not at all. The events in Webster just made me so angry I had to vent it.
