[quote=Anonymous]The Amish and Animal Cruelty: An Unexpected Mix

https://www.animaladvocatesscpa.com/blog/post/amish-animal-cruelty-unexpected-mix/

South Central Pennsylvania. Puppy mills house dogs and puppies [b]in extremely unnatural conditions, depriving them of exercise, sunlight, necessary nutrition, and even basic grooming.[/b] Their paws are injured on wire cages. Females are forced into continuous pregnancy until their bodies can no longer support it, at which point they are typically killed. I[b]nbreeding precipitates a plethora of health calamities and newborn puppies are separated from their mothers prematurely to be sold [/b](3). [b]Debarking is sometimes done to prevent detection in unlicensed Amish breeding mills, which are thought to make up much of the estimated six-hundred in
Lancaster County alone.[/b]

One Amish puppy breeder who was interviewed anonymously by a local rescue compared the lives of puppy mill dogs to those of livestock, stating: “I would encourage people adopt… Eight million dogs are euthanized; 8 million pets are euthanized every year in this country and yet they breed 8 million dogs” (3). Puppy mill dogs often wind up in auctions, where they are tossed around like inanimate objects, frequently injured and always terrified (4). Pet stores are their usual destination, either during auctions or directly from the breeder, where they are bought by usually well-meaning but naïve families who do not know the genetic defects and behavioral problems likely to emerge from their abusive origins.
