[Don’t buy puppies PSA]

Puppy mills are anti-vegan. If you’re tempted to support the harmful “non-human-animals-are-commodities” industry keep a few things in mind:

• selective breeding intended to keep the breed “pure” has harmful affects on the gene pool i.e. blindness, weak hips, breathing problems from flat noses
• many puppy mills keep the dogs in cramped, unclean cages with little food or water which can lead to malnutrition and the spread of disease
• females are forced to breed more often than is healthy; the demands placed on the mothers’ bodies are necessarily extreme to ensure maximal product production
• thousands of child-friendly shelter dogs are “euthanized” each day after being passed up by families searching for puppy-milled pure breeds
