I rang the RSPCA to report a suspected puppy farm on 0300 1234 999 but they won't do anything as I didn't see the living conditions of the puppy she fetched from some outhouse buildings. Absolutly rubbish.

What we need on this forum is a national wall of shame of puppy farms to make people more aware of where they should be looking at to buy their pet and where they should stay well clear of

Puppy farms are awful places. As you all know. When i was a kid, i wanted a puppy for my birthday (Like you do as a child..) and my parents (To their defense, didnt know any better and it was spur of the moment) took me and my siblings to a puppy farm, where we got our first dog, a West Highland Terrier. Who we named Spike because he wasnt aggressive at all.(Little did we know....) He was so small,incredibly frail and quiet. The first day he didnt eat, hardly moved and just slept. My parents didnt worry at this point. The next day, he was constantly being sick and my mum returned him to the place he was bought to see what they could, and then he died later that day. That poor little dog, had such a painful life. Be it only 5-6 weeks. I have vowed ever since, never ever to support such evil corps. All this because, he was poorly bred and was taken from his mother FAR too young. Poor chicken. RIP Spike.

But also, my family should not of bought the dog on impulse. Buying a pet is a huge responsibility, and unfortunately, we all learnt the hard way. Thats also why these puppy mills should go, people just coming buy, and wanting a dog just for his/her aesthetics.
I know im not alone in this sad, sad story.

Do you feel enough is being done to stop puppy farms, what new powers would you like to see the Government give to the RSPCA

It is not only the puppies but the adult dogs as well. They breed from them until the dog is 5 years old and worn out and then get rid of them. A lot of charities take them. I adopted a 5 yr bichon and she died 2 1/2 years later of a massive stroke. I have now adopted another one. they are so frightened when you first take them but become super pets. There is a petition to the government on Pro Dogs website for anyone who would like to petition the govenrment -

Some people really need to get a grip on life. Its not all about money and its so unfair. Also the people who buy from puppy farms need to STOP! Yes its cheaper but not better. Its unfair on the family who buy from the farms and unfair for the dogs. I think there should be a law on breeding!

Yeah puppy farms are cruel actually.. in china dog farms are being set up for fur production..

I stumbled in this website StopHurtingAnimals.com: Help us stop cruelty to animals...

and it shows the cruelty of dog breeders especially those who are used for fur productions.

I am now an advocate and anti puppy farm.. pls support the the campaign by visiting StopHurtingAnimals.com: Help us stop cruelty to animals... and signing up to show the world that we value animals!
