There is a difference between a commercial breeder, which follows humane laws and treats animals respectfully in a clean and healthy environment, and puppy mills. Puppy mills are unregulated and warehouse animals for profit over well-being.
Puppy Mills are a global problem. Female dogs are often forced to reproduce repeatedly, then discarded when they can no longer bear children. Their litters are either offered for sale as pets to pet stores and purebred enthusiasts, or in some Asian cultures, including South Korea, as meat for the dinner table during Bok Nal or "dog eating days" in a soup called bosintang. Over 2.5 million dogs are slaughtered annually in South Korea for this dish. Cats are also eaten and farmed in several Asian countries.
Mill animals exist in inhumane conditions that are overcrowded, dirty, and in the case of South Korea, often tortured because of a belief that fear "makes the meat taste better." A recent rescue in South Korea included "nearly 200 chihuahuas, corgis, huskies, jindos, Yorkshire terriers, poodles, Pomeranians, shih tzus, and French bulldogs from a squalid breeding facility in Hongseong that housed pups under heat lamps in disused tires."

Though they aren't raising dogs for eating, puppy mills in the west are just as horrific. Missouri, followed by Ohio, are the top two states for puppy mills. Puppy mill dogs are often stacked in wire cages, with several animals in a cage, without access to exercise and often in filthy conditions.
National Puppy Mill Action Week seeks to end this practice and ensure that all dogs born and bred receive the care and protection they deserve.
