All they want is money.

QUANTITY FOR QUALITY

Continuous breeding without thought.

INTRODUCING

The puppy mill cycle.

Puppies and mothers are kept in unsanitary, cramped and exposed cages.

Puppies are packed into crates and sold to brokers.

Crates are transported across the nation in trucks, tractors, trailers and/or airplanes.

Resale of healthy and sick puppies to pet shops.

People fall for the puppies in the window, often paying thousands of dollars for unhealthy and/or unsocialised dogs.

Frustrated owners often abandon dogs due to vet bills and defects.

Overcrowding in shelters.

Continuous breeding for quantity, not quality.

THE CYCLE REPEATS

ARE YOU CONTRIBUTING TO THIS CYCLE?

BE AWARE

Of what you're feeding.
