I was deeply saddened when I found out that two of some of the worst puppy mills are located in my home state, Illinois.
The Puppy Parlor, located in Lisle, and the Oak Valley Kennel, located in McLeansboro, are both included on “A Horrible Hundred”, the Human Society’s report of the worst puppy mills in the US.
“We’ve documented reports of dogs so horribly matted that there was a fur coat like mat going from one end to the other in a sold mass, dogs with injuries and illnesses and injuries that hadn’t been treated by vet and dogs in small stacked cages,” stated Kathleen Summers, an author to “A Horrible Hundred” report issued by the Humane Society.
The only penalty issued for puppy mills? A small fine.
We can no longer tolerate the abuse of these loving animals.
Action needs to be taken immediately to ban puppy mills.
Please sign to put an end to puppy mills!
