Let's end the sale of animals at pet shops stocked by puppy mills.
A local pet store might seem like the right place for New Jerseyans to purchase a new puppy, kitten, or rabbit this holiday season, but the hidden reality of where these animals are sourced can lead to devastating consequences for unsuspecting buyers.
Meanwhile, the furry family member that you imagine bringing home to your family for the holidays has likely come from a mill — a large-scale commercial breeding facility where the emphasis is on profits over the welfare of the animal.. Dogs in these mills live lives of misery, forced to mass-produce puppies for the pet trade. Public records show that New Jersey pet stores source puppies from these very mills, some of the.
This is how one New Jersey pet store customer ended up with an interest rate of 151%, which is five times the state’s legal limit of 30%. When you couple these interest rates with the increased health risks associated with mill-bred puppies — frequently necessitating expensive and even lifelong specialized veterinary care — the financial vulnerability of customers cannot be overstated.
