PetsPlus USA, along with hundreds of other companies, are selling puppies from puppy mills. My goal is for PetsPlus USA to STOP using puppy mills!! Please help these poor defenseless puppies! So much for “man’s best friend”, huh? What’s so bad about puppy mills?

1. THOUSANDS of breeding dogs are kept in cages just big enough for them to be put into and stand on stretched wire flooring in cramped rabbit hutches.

2. They wear rusted livestock clips in their ears or chains with USDA tags embedded in their necks

3. They are denied food & water because they have grown too old to sell.

4. These poor animals struggle to stay alive, and are forced to reproduce in means of survival.

5. Once they are no longer of use, they are shot behind barns, and submerged into barrels of stagnant rainwater.

6. Unable to compete with the newest litters of seven week olds, several puppies are destroyed at five or six months of age.

No one deserves to be treated like this. 99% of the dogs sold in pet stores come from puppy mills, and many of the worst in the country are in Lancaster County! There are SO many stores that need to be stopped, but I am just trying to stop one: PetsPlus USA.

So, by signing this petition, you are agreeing to the statement that PetsPlus USA is using puppy mills and they NEED TO STOP!!!!
