Puppy Mills: From Iowa to Florida is a powerful and informative presentation about commercial breeding facilities, also known as puppy mills, which put profit before animal welfare. Dogs at these mills are kept in deplorable conditions often resulting in sick puppies being sold to unaware consumers. Florida is the second largest market for puppies bred in puppy mills, with hundreds of puppies being shipped to Florida annually.
The presentation is FREE and open to the public.
Puppy Mills: From Iowa to Florida will also provide information about the
agencies and current laws affecting this industry, as well as how the public
can address this animal welfare and consumer protection issue.
