how do animal rescues taking and/or purchasing animals from puppy mills impact the puppy mill industry?

217 viewsOther

On the one hand, they are giving the dogs a better life, but on the other hand, it seems like it would just help the puppy mill continue to survive by letting them offload unwanted dogs (and sometimes even make some money).

ETA: sometimes rescues will pay them a smaller amount to get them to release dogs that they aren’t willing to release to the rescue for free.

The purpose of a puppy mill is selling dogs for a profit. If they don’t have dogs to sell, they don’t make money.

So by taking puppies away from the mills, they’re taking away products that would’ve been sold for profits.

On top of that, puppy mills that gets their puppies taken away are usually illegal or have done something illegal and the owner is usually arrested and charged.
