Puppy Mills

I was just looking at this website, which is a website for fighting animal cruelty. While I was on it, I noticed this article about puppy mills and read it. A puppy mill is place where they breed puppies, but they use all the money they get from it for themselves, instead of using the money to keep the dogs healthy. The breeding at puppy mills are performed without caring for the dogs, and many of them get heredity defects. Later, these dogs are often sold to pet shops. in puppy mills, many dogs are usually squished into a small, dirty cage, which is way to small for them to live in. They don't get treats, toys, exercise or grooming and their cages have wire floors that hurt their legs and paws. If you are a person who cares a lot for animals, and are maybe a vegetarian or vegan, i think this would be a good website that would interest you. The entire idea of hurting and not caring for living animals, just to get money is horrible, and i completely disagree with it. A way to fight against is, is to not buy dogs from pet store, or any dogs from somewhere that you can't see it's entire facility and meet the mother dog.

Vegetarianism

As part of Team 3, I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co-existence. I can notice a lot of co-existence, being a vegetarian. I've been vegetarian for a year now, since August 30, 2008. There is a BIG problem with co-existence between people and the animals. I'm sure the animals are NOT happy with people hunting, abusing, killing and eating them, and I know people aren't happy with not eating meat, even though it's not near as bad as it is for the animals. Everyone has their different opinions, and I respect that, I just wish we wouldn't put other lives in danger. Poor, little pigs, cows, chickens and other animals are mothers, fathers, and children. I just think people should think about being in the animal's position and realize how wrong it is, it'd really make a difference. I just wish that'd people understand.
