Puppy mills or farms are nightmarish
places. Mother dogs live their entire
lives in dirty, cramped cages. They are
always in a state of pregnancy or being impregnated; afterall,
they aren't worth much if they aren't producing puppies for
their captors to sell. And those poor puppies don't have it
easy either — they are often inbred, leaving them with
horrific medical ailments. If they were born healthy, they
don't stay that way long, as the lack of proper
veterinary care, hygiene, nutrition, exercise, and love slowly
deteriorates their tiny bodies. And things have
gotten even worse in lockdown; as demand for puppies soared,
so did the prices they fetch, triggering an uptick in
irresponsible, uneducated, or uncaring breeders.
Now it's a full-blown crisis,
and the BBC thinks it's a good idea to roll out a new
program called Will My Puppies Make Me Rich?, which
will depict breeders as they try to squeeze every last penny
out of innocent dogs, treating them as a business
tool instead of the emotional, intelligent creatures they are.
This will undoubtedly lead to a boom of breeders who are in it
for the money. When it comes to animals,
profit-chasing leads to exploitation, corner-cutting, and flat
out abuse — look at current puppy mills, or cruel
factory farms, or horse racing, or animals in circuses and
zoos, or...do we need to go on? Sign the petition and demand that they cancel
plans for this terrible program and stop the animal welfare
crisis it will lead to!
Thank you,

P.S. The BBC
thinks telling people to breed their dogs for money is a good
idea. Sign the petition and tell them it's
not. |
