Living In Hell, Then Dumped Like Garbage

“These new breeding regulations

Trample our constitutional rights.”

 

A Puppy Mill Spokesman

 

 

The Puppy Mills are nothing new

They’ve been around for decades

And, they have continued to thrive

Because at pet stores, people still pay

 

These people just have to have ‘pure bred’ pups

These puppy purchasers don’t seem to care at all

That all of the mothers of these puppies, live in hell

And they look nothing like the cute pups at the mall

 

Puppy Mill ‘Breeder Bitches’ live in tiny cages

Filthy, matted, sick, covered in urine and feces

They are forced to produce litters, until they can’t

Then they are ruthlessly killed, and no one ever sees

 

But very recently, nearly 100 of them were dumped on a road

Puppy Mill owners in Texas, were outraged, by new regulations

They were now facing fines and penalties, for inhumane conditions

So to avoid all of this, they just dumped their dogs without hesitation

 

Very luckily for these dumped canines, several pet rescue groups rushed in

They are now caring for these abandoned dogs, and paying their medical bills

Hopefully, some compassionate people will now adopt these poor throw-aways

And these ruthless breeders attempting to hide behind our Constitution, make me ill

 

 

Please Adopt, Don’t Shop For Your Next Dog,

Tell Everyone You Know, To Do The Same;

The Way So Many Treat Man’s Best Friend

In Our Nation Today, Fills Me With Shame.

In our city, and in a few others I know about here in Canada, some pet stores have teamed up with the SPCA, making strays (instead of puppy mill pets) available to pet shoppers....About time!!!! The more I know about the heartlessness of some humans the more I want to be around animals!! I've said that a million times and it comes right from the heart!

Tragic and yes I would like Odin snap! Fortunately
around here there are loving people like ourselves
that have sought out these horrid places here and
insured they were shut down and the poor little
creatures were rescued

Well, I'm one of those who if I saw such an act, I'd snap. Not a good use of control on my part, but there are some things that are inhuman enough to warrant drastic measures. This is one of them. Thank you for posting.

Killing Gods creation?

"Savages" come to mind but even this word is much too kind.

How can they sleep at night?
When will this world go from wrong to right?

May God save the innocent from such a mess.
May they be be delt with like Hitler and all the rest.

May they all turn from their evil ways.
Right now... Today!
This what I pray...

Yours in peace, love and compassion,

John Michael

Fortunately those dogs were helped by the local rescue groups, because I have seen others that were just dumped on busy highways where they are killed by drivers in the night that don't see them...those that dump them deserve death...e

These days people are raising the Constitution and using the word, “freedom,” for all kinds of file activity. Keep up the good work. Keep exposing the bastards for what they are. The whole idea of having a “pet” is becoming quite disgusting when we don't treat animals humanely.
