Puppy Mills in Amish Communities
Puppy mills are a source of income in many Amish communities, where they excel in dog breeding. However, these operations are highly controversial. Critics argue that given the abundance of unwanted pets, animals from city shelters should be adopted first.
Overbreeding is also a concern, potentially leading to subpar living conditions for dogs in Amish puppy mills, including prolonged confinement in cages.
