About No Pet Store Puppies Day
Many puppies sold in pet stores come from puppy mills, which, according to the Humane Society, are "inhumane, commercial dog-breeding [facilities] in which the health of the dogs is disregarded in order to maintain a low overhead and maximize profits."
The ASPCA estimates that there are between 6,000 and 10,000 commercial breeding facilities in the United States. The ASPCA campaigns to reduce demand for these puppy mill puppies by calling for a full boycott of stores that sell them.
