The Cruelty Behind the Cuteness
The Humane Society of the United States - Non-Profit - www.humanesociety.org
Free Range can help reduce suffering and create meaningful social change for animals by creating a movie to educate youth (target age range 13-18) about the inherent cruelty in mass dog breeding operations commonly known as puppy mills. Millions of puppies are born in shockingly poor conditions each year, many with behavior and/or health problems. Many people don't realize they're supporting this cruelty when they purchase a puppy in a pet store, over the Internet, or through a classified ad. By raising awareness, we can help stop a cycle of cruelty that contributes to pet overpopulation and the suffering of countless dogs.

So many pets are abandoned each year because people can't afford them - they need re-homing first before buying a new pet from this cruel trade!

Adopt from a shelter and dont go to those pet stores and pay all that money because u think the puppy is so cute you have to remember what the poor dog who is giving birth to these puppies is going through,lots of these dogs are locked up in cages and just keep having litters of puppies they suffer so adopt a dog from your local shelter.

Puppies shouldn't be treated like designer purses. An animal isn't a fad it's something to love and care for not something to mass produce. Thank you humane society!

I believe that teaching our children is the most important thing we can do. Hopefully, they will be the ones helping animals years from now...

It is important to teach young the importance of adopting animals, ie.puppies,dogs,cats, kittens from a shelter or rescue as opposed to buying a pet from a pet store or from other sources which whether knowingly or unknowingly support puppie mills. Adopt your pet today from your local shelter or rescue.

Educating young people to the realities of animal cruelty is the most effective way to finally irradicate it.
