Puppy Mills started in the early 1940's, around the beginning of World War 2. There was a lot of crop failure in the Mid-west, so the U.S Department of Agriculture started urging farmers to breed puppies. They thought since a lot of families were coming over from Europe to get away from the war and start a new life, they would want a puppy to lift their spirits. So these farmers bought tons of liters of puppies and put them into cages. But these aren't the cages you see in pet stores. The farmers used chicken coops and rabbit hutches to store their new best-sellers.
I really liked the information you included about puppy mills. It is important to inform everyone about the sufferings of puppies in the puppy mills and how pet stores buy their puppies from puppy mills. Also, I found it shocking how chicken coops and rabbit hutches to store puppies.
