Stopping the sale of puppies in pet stores will shut down many puppy mills.
Why is this important?
To many dogs are suffering in these puppy mills. According to the Humane Society of the United States out of 100 worst puppy mills 2 are located right here in Illinois. People pay large amounts of money for dogs that come from an uncared for, sick, deprived mother who is forced to mate. Many of these puppies from the store come with hidden health issues and when the owners cannot afford to take care of them they wind up in Humane Society's or abandoned. This only creates a larger issue of homeless animals!
