Puppy Mills and Mass Breeding
Because of the potential for animal suffering, Wisconsin Federated Humane Societies, Inc. opposes the mass breeding of companion animals for the commercial companion animal market. These mass breeding operations, commonly known as puppy mills, add to the existing companion animal overpopulation problem in many communities. Excessive and indiscriminate breeding with no regard for genetics often causes health and temperament problems. Exposure to extreme weather conditions, lack of adequate veterinary care and filthy housing are common problems. In addition, isolation and lack of human contact often result in animals that are not properly socialized.
WFHS supports law enforcement and legislative and educational efforts to eliminate puppy mills and other mass breeding operations. We work in close partnership with the Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project to help educate our members and the public.
