One easy solution is to bring upon the awareness of the urgency to adopt instead of buying. Shelters are over populated because people lean to buy instead and we need to shift that. #39canimals
The living conditions that the dogs live in are so bad and cause for poor sanitation, overbreeding, and lack of preventive veterinary care. #39canimals
Each year over 2 million puppies are sold and originated from puppy mills. Many people who buy them aren’t even aware of it. Check out this video to know know more about puppy mills. #39canimals

A lot of ways our dogs are suffering cruelty is by not knowing where we get them. Make sure to know you aren't buying from someone who supports cruelty in puppy mills. #39canimals

I also learned about how we need to stop puppy shopping and supporting puppy mills, and choose to adopt from a shelter instead. #WhatIlearnedin39C#39canimals
One of the most interesting facts about dogs I learned was the uniqueness of their nose and how it’s basically their fingerprint. #WhatIlearnedin39C#39canimals
I start to rethink what kind of the relationships should we have with animals. We are biologically cousin, why should we treat animals as slaves? #WhatIlearnedin39C#39canimals

The Animal Welfare Act (AWA) is a federal law that is supposed to protect animals. However, the AWA only sets the most minimum standard. In fact, puppy mills are still technically legal. Support and call for a stricter, less lenient law!

Unadopted dogs and rescued mill dogs lead to dog overpopulation and overcrowded animal shelters. Each year, around 1.2 million dogs are euthanized to create more space. #39canimals
"Something people can do is to reduce the amounts of single-use plastic they generate. Single-use plastics are the majority of plastics found in the ocean" Plastics contaminate the water for all living animals and need to be kept out of the ocean #39canimals
Definitely agree that social media can help bring awareness. Really liked your infographic and think it is an issue everyone needs to be more aware of. #39canimals
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) estimates that there are up to 10,000 commercial breeding facilities including unlicensed facilities. #39canimals
Retail pet sale bans have the potential to reduce the number of operating puppy mills. Instead of trying to locate and regulate every commercial breeding facility like the AWA, retail pet sale bans work directly to erase these commercial breeding facilities. #39canimals
