The PUPPY MILL — William G. Bentrim

A puppy mill is often a dirty, ill-maintained factory for producing ill bred and diseased puppies. As much as America claims it has a love affair with dogs, puppy mills are still tolerated. The mothers are kept in cages with no access to veterinarian care and no exercise. Their dietary needs are minimally met and only sufficient for them to whelp another litter. These inhumane conditions should not be tolerated. Reputable breeders and shelters for unwanted pets can easily provide enough dogs to meet demands. This book explains puppy mills to children while touching on service dogs for those who need them.
