Who doesn’t love puppies? Such little bundles of furry fun. They are so hard to resist, and unscrupulous breeders know this and capitalize on it by running puppy mills that churn out these babies to sell at pet stores, on the internet and even in the back of vans. Yes, folks, that adorable puppy gazing at you from a store front in your local mall is very likely the product of a puppy mill where female dogs are caged their entire lives to breed litter after litter. It’s bad for the puppy, and it’s inhumane for the mama dog.
But this isn’t a post about the atrocities of puppy mills. Do a Google search and you’ll find countless articles that can explain it much better than I. Today I am sharing a cute bracelet I came across on the web that allows you to wear your feelings about puppy mills on your wrist. And, it’s made from reclaimed tires, so it’s eco-friendly, too.
I found it this item through Fido Friendly magazine’s post on Twitter (@FIDOfriendly), and I wanted to share it with you today. Check it out here. Part of the proceed go to Best Friends Animal Society.
Since Oprah did a entire show on puppy mills in 2007, I have notice the dog loving world working harder to close them down. What have you or your group done to support this effort? Please let tell us.
