What is the environment of where the Puppy mills located?


I am doing a school art project on what is hurting our society. I’ve decided to do puppy mills. Where are puppy mills usually located in like the forest, desert, or what environment. Thank you.

There are a lot of them in New York, the Amish are famous for milling pups in rural New York. I remember a puppy mill being on the cover of the Time Life magazine years ago. They are not uncommon and can be found even in urban area, right in the heart of any city. I’ve seen a few in NC, all of those where in rural area’s. Check with the magazine’s, run a search in there archives. Pre pair your self because the pictures are graphic and horrifying. Also look up the Humane Society web site they will have some great info for you there. Hope you get an A.

    Well, puppy mills are where large human communities live. Rule out deserts and forests. Believe it or not, there could be a puppy mill next door. I would say urban or suburban communities. By the way, in doing research you may find that many Amish people own puppy mills. Well, I won’t deny it. However, please don’t become biased against the Amish people as a whole. They are very godly people, in general. There are just those exceptions.

    it can be anywhere the owner of the puppy mill wants. surprisingly enough it can be in the suburbs or city!!!!!! the person doesn’t care about the dogs as long as they make puppies so it could be in a shed, a garage, desert, forest, etc it all depends on the person but generally they’ll want to get a secluded area with coverage. if you really want to do good on your paper call up your local SPCA o and by the way love the topic you choose!!!!!!!
