The ASPCA defines a puppy mill "as a large-scale commercial dog breeding operation that places profit over the wellbeing of its dogs—who are often severely neglected—and acts without regard to responsible breeding practices."
Puppy mills differ from accredited breeders who give their animals complete care.
Puppy mills became prevalent after World War II when regular food crops were challenging to grow, and promoting puppies became profitable. Female dogs become impregnated at every opportunity in a puppy mill with little recovery time between litters. Once they are physically depleted and can no longer reproduce, they're usually killed.
Puppy Mill Awareness Day is about ending the practice of mass breeding for a profit with little or no care for the animal's wellbeing.
