Interesting. And I am not making excuses for puppy farms but I wonder how they treat the animals? Surely much better then these giant scum. JW don’t be mad at me!

They do not treat them better.

The animals I have rescued from Amish breeders have had their teeth ground to nubs from being fed only on concrete. They have never touched grass because they lived their lives on that concrete, most were scared of grass. They are terrified of people, especially men. They are usually emaciated and full of worms. Many have heart worms. Once a female dog no longer produces litters of quantity or quality, they would drown them. They also drowned or bashed in the head of any pup “not up to standards” (AKC standards, even though a pup could be sold for less as “pet quality”).

Finally the vet I worked with began a program with the Amish within our community. No other vets would work with them due to the above mentioned practices. My vet would work with them if they stopped those things and instead called our rescue to take the pups and adult dogs they no longer wanted. Since they had English and French Bulldogs that often needed C-Sections, the Amish agreed.

It was dark y’all. Very dark. It took a lot of rehab to get these dogs to trust humans again.

Have you went to a horse auction before? U see skinny draft horses that worked hard their whole life and then grow old and then they go to auction for kill buyers most of them horses are from Amish. They have dog auctions when 1 isn't making a profit they will resell to a different mill. Imo not good at all
