"Puppy Mill Companion" Photographer Jessica Dreyer

Created for the Misery in Missouri touring Art Exhibition (For more info about this exhibit, visit www.framations.com/mim.html) "While many people think the term, 'puppy mill' means any substandard commercial dog breeding operation, there are far more than puppies being produced. Catteries have been found to operate alongside abusive mills. And along with the dogs & cats, don't be surprised to hear about the birds, small mammals, reptiles & many other animals being mass produced thru pet breeding operations & then sold thru retail pet stores. More than 90% of all animals sold in pet stores are the products of mass breeding operations. Please bypass the pet stores & adopt from an animal shelter."
