'Licensed breeders can still be puppy mills.'
. And every time someone buys a pet from a breeder, it means they’re not adopting one from a shelter, where animals die every day.. In fact, it’s safe to assume that if you walk into a pet store and see animals for sale, they came from mills. “Responsible breeders don't sell to pet stores, because they want to meet the people who are bringing home their puppies,” Summers says. “Virtually no one who sells you a puppy mill dog is going to admit the dog came from a puppy mill.
Traditional pet stores aren’t the only distributors of mill pets, either. You can find mills selling pets at flea markets and online — and if you’re searching the Internet for a pet, it can be difficult to identify cruelty. “This industry is built on deception and irresistibility of cute puppies,” Moraz says. “It's tough to make a rational, sound decision when you're faced with [a] cute puppy that needs a home, and the industry is in fact banking on that.
It’s also not uncommon to find stores and websites that claim their animals are from USDA-licensed breeders. But even if the pets do have licenses, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve been raised humanely. In fact, some say that it means very little.
