Dear Editor:
RE: ‘It’s heartbreaking’: family calls attention to suspected puppy mills, March 30.
This article states there may be 400 puppy mills in southern Ontario and possibly 40 in Wellington County. This is shameful.
If the price of the puppy is too good to be true, then it is. Most of us couldn’t imagine our beloved pooches spending one second in the isolated conditions these exploited animals are forced to endure.
Advocate for change with your local council. Consider microchipping essential. Stay away from Kijiji. Buy from reputable licensed breeders for the quality of life and health guarantee you expect.
We need to do better by our furry family members and stop creating a market for unacceptable animal abuse.
Kailyn Evans,
