That has got to be the saddest picture I've ever seen. People who keep animals in those conditions should be forced to live like that themselves. I agree with Heather.

Hopefully it will pass and TX can get the message out to puppy mills that they're not welcome here. HB 3180 is being heard on Wednesday.

We need to raise a lot of awareness right now that there's big news and real emotional images on this issue. We need people to understand that puppy mills are a real big problem and see the extent of the abuse they perform on dogs.

Pet Crazy sells pups from Quebec millers . I contacted head office about it and got no reply. How do we stop this sickness . My heart cries for the little dog in that picture and I would take her home in a heart beat. Speaking of beating..that miller needs one. I dont understand why anyone would subject any dog to such conditions. How can I help stop it from happening ? That is the saddest picture I have ever seen.

I'll definitely show her this picture!

They sell toys and clothes and treats and whatnot as well. I won't buy *anything* there and I discourage anyone I can from even setting foot in the place. It's *evil* and I'm not sure if the owners/workers actually realize what they're doing or not? Do they believe the line that they feed the customers? That all these adorable puppies come from quality homes and good people? They can't be that naive, can they? Is it possible that the puppy brokers have snowed them that well? Or maybe they believe what they want to believe...just like the folks buying the puppies.
