Sad Tale for Sale
Hundreds of thousands of puppies (小狗) are born in puppy factories each year. Because the main purpose of the puppy factory is to make money, puppy factory owners fail to spend enough money on the dogs. The animals almost never get exercise or attention. Their cages (笼子) are often dirty, with little protection from sun, wind or cold.
Many puppies born in puppy factories are taken away from their mothers before they are ready. The moms left behind are then bred (繁殖) again to produce more puppies.
Although the puppies may seem healthy, these problems can show up when they're fully grown — sometimes even sooner. Some of the puppies die within days or weeks of purchase (购买).
Kind kids and their families can help. Even if a pet store says that they don't sell dogs from puppy factories, chances are they really do. And don't trust newspaper or website ads made by people who sell puppies.
If your family is ready for a dog, your best choice is to adopt one from an animal shelter (收容所). Animal shelters have different kinds of dogs just waiting for homes.
