Her coat is almost gone from the scaroptic mange that has infested her exterior coat for months. Her eyes once full of the sparkle of puppyhood are now dull and lack response to any stimuli, although at only two year of age she is hardly more than a puppy herself.

Welcome to life in the death camp. You have just been introduced the conditions of a puppy mill. Puppy milling is a multimillion dollar business in the United States. Obviously no one would buy a dog in this females conditions, yet millions of people buy the product that she and other female dogs produce each year- puppies. In almost all cases the goal of a puppy mill is to make money with little or no care about the welfare of the puppies that they sell.
