Christmas Gifts and Puppy Mills...

First of all, never, ever  buy a dog because your children want one. A dog is not a gift, or a toy to entertain your children. Children don't walk the dog, because they are at school all day. If they aren't at school, they are with friends, and that's ok. So mom, who spends the whole day at home has to take care of the pup, right? So, use your brain and buy them a stuffed animal or a game-computer!



Christmas the happiest season of all, right? Wrong, because it's hell for dogs and other animals who are serving as a Christmas gift!



Yes, it's that time of the year again. Time to spend with your family. Time to buy presents, and here it often goes wrong. I can't stress enough, that animals are not presents. An animal is a living, breathing being, with feelings. They feel pain, grief and of course happiness, if they are lucky enough to get a good home.


You see, most of the "gifts" end up in a shelter. Personally, I think that giving an animal as a gift, is stupid and very wrong. It seems that that are a lot of stupid people out there who'd buy someone a puppy for Christmas. The puppy mills are cashing in big time around Christmas, and that's why I know.

I've never understood, why people give live animals as a Christmas gift, it's insane and more than that, it's very irresponsible! Adults should know better than to behave so stupidly! Everyone who buy's a puppy at the puppy mill is guilty to animal abuse!

Puppy's that come from a puppy mill are in most cases weak and sick. Why? Well, in puppy mills they don't do hygiene, they don't feed the dogs the proper food, nor do they give a shit when a dog is getting sick. All they care about is money, money and...money! Female dogs that live in puppy mills are getting more than two litters per year. It seems that they get injected with some kind of stuff that makes them ready for breeding sooner. So one little is taken from her after six weeks, then she gets the injection and she's ready to get pregnant again.

Those who read my blog about puppy mills have seen the pics that go with the blog. This gives you an idea of how bad these poor little dogs were treated. They eat, sleep and live, day in and day out in their own filth. They don't get out into the fresh air, and they don't see any daylight.

Puppy mills still exist, and that's because many people don't think before they buy a puppy! They want a specific brand, and pay a little as possible for it. These people buy at the puppy mill.

If you take in a dog, you have to know that dogs can get very old. Some of them even reach the high age of eighteen years. So, remember that when you choose to take in a dog! It's not something for a week or a year. Plus taking in a dog is a huge commitment.

A few weeks ago I adopted a traumatized little dog, Faith! She's an ex-puppy mill dog, and was used solely for being pregnant all year long. She never was, not pregnant.

I think  that every puppy mill, is one too many! These monsters must be stopped. This, we can achieve, when people start using their brains, instead of wanting to buy the cheapest dog possible. On top of that, the veterinarian bills will come with the puppy mill dog, because they don't get treatment. They don't get medication, they don't get the food they need. Especially when the female dog is pregnant, she needs vitamins and high quality food.

Puppy mills don't provide anything for their dogs, they just want to earn money.

Please, DON'T buy at the puppy mill, and DON'T buy a dog or any other kind of animal as a Christmas gift. Adults should know better that that!
