Yup, it's never the many grunts who know what terrible things are going behind the scenes. If everyone, down to the lowest level, knew what was happening it would never be a secret.
@@luciaheroux5255 Not always. Almost never actually. Most so called puppy mills are run very legally. They may not be your cup of tea, they are not mine either, but the fact of the matter is many people want puppies only and there are no where near enough puppies in shelters for that demand.
They should be but in jail for 50 years and they should be charged for everything they have. :)Oh yea and the puppies they breeded should go to rehab 'till they get adopted.
Paçoca The Yorkshire, not necessarily, the employees could have been lied to about where the puppies come from and just repeat what they say. So in reality it could be the manager who’s lying.
Yes! But like when u try sell people which are living creatures it’s wrong,people think we can disrespect animals bc were on the top of the food chain it makes meh mad
my dog Sophie was a breeding dog who lived in terrible conditions. We got her at the beginning of last year, she couldn’t jump, bark, howl or anything. She was scared to eat, scared to walk everything, it was so sad. She is now 3 and i have trained her to sit which took six months, jump, howl and everything a dog should do. She was given to us after the breeder nearly put her down because she wasn’t able to feed her children. I love her so much and it hurts me knowing that her sisters go through this still till this day. I hope this ends soon because no animals should be treated like this. please stop it. Thank you
Thats awesome! Mine does too unless they do special adoption things to try and get a few animals out of the shelter, because even though they try so hard each animal can't get personal attention. I got my puppy from a shelter and she was SUPER skinny. She wouldn't have died or starved, she would have lived for a while, but I bet she always felt hungry.. She eats EVERYTHING!
my country doesnt have shelters at all. just pet stores. so if you want a non store pet, you can take one off the street or visit a breeder. its sad, really
In my pet stores where I live all you get is pet food, pet toys, pet beds and only in the veryy big shops they sell fish (they have massive tanks) and rarely hamsters (but thry have massive boxes to live in)
I rescued my cat, she was found abandoned and locked up in an apartment complex. She was locked in one of the rooms with no food or water. Not sure how long she was there but she’s doing great now! She’s 5 years old and seems to be happy! :)
We found a gray cat who was dumped from a farm and we’re going to give her to a trusted farm owner that we know that treats animals well Because she loves the outdoors
not all people abuse their dogs actually its great that you want an older dog but dogs from breeder deserve love too as long as the breeder treats their animals right
@@jettheottb with my comment I was talking about the bad ones. Overbreeding to get 'the perfect dog', puppy mills and so on. There are good people out there who breed responsible, but to every good person there will be two bad ones wanting to make money out of the misery Hope one day we can change that and have more good than bad people
Poko0Chan where I live I can’t even find a dog to adopt in my country that first my criteria’s must be female on the smaller size (I live in an apartment) 2 years or younger and when I finally see one they are gone instantly I am not sure if we just don’t have that problem here or if I am just really unlucky but the dogs seem to few and pretty fast adopted So I kinda just look for dogs from breeders now (good ones) since I have been keeping an eye out at the shelters for like 5 years
It’s amazing to see you wanting an older dog. Loads of people go for younger ones and I think it’s pretty selfish. It’s like dogs have an expiration date. Always get older dogs. Give them a life they deserve before it’s too late :).
Even if you do adopt, the dogs not being bought from breeders will be put in a shelter and killed once they weren’t adopted, I just get... mad when people say this because if you don’t shop there will be more to adopt. Yes, I got my dog from a shelter but still, there are no breeders around which we could’ve bought from. Say ‘Adopt and Shop Responsibly’
@@donuloth756 dude if the breeders sees that nobody buys their fucking puppies amd they always have to give them to shelters they WILL stop breeding their dogs because its a waste of m o n e y
I don’t think is the employees fault (every time) because the bosses may say to them that they don’t come from puppy mills and the employees believe it and say what they heard to the customers
I was looking at getting a pomeranian pup at a mall pet shop. I'm sooo glad my parents didn't let me get the dog! 1. It was like 4,000 bucks (because it was a girl). 2. My mom doesn't like pets, she says I can get a dog when I move out. Now I look back that pup was probably from a puppy mill :c The dogs lived in tanks in the wall and you could only access them from the back. They had little to no water and food, and you could only play with them if you bought one.
Ok first, please if you catch a pet store lying about puppy mills , report it to the police. Second, I know y'all wanna save the dogs in the mill and buy them all, and people think their saving them, but really your just putting generations of dogs to the slaughter. Every time you buy one, puppy mills breed more. More because they think they have supporters. More because they will make more money because people think they are saving dogs. Just know this. Every time you buy a dog from a puppy mill, you give a whole other littler, miserable lives. This is my opinion, with back up. Like if you agree
This is sad and like they say adopt dont shop but then again dogs from puppy mills need a home aswell so they can be out of their living conditions no?
Huidos001 organizations such as the HSUS shut down puppy mills and then you can adopt them. HSI gets dogs from meat farms. The HSUS also stops hoarding situations. Also this sounds demented but if you think about it, it isn’t. It’s better all the puppy mills end up dying off or rescued. Dogs are continuously forced to breed until they can’t and they will get killed. Dogs that don’t get adopted are either euthanized or put in a gas chamber. And then hundreds of your dollars will go to continuously breeding and torturing dogs.
Factory farms are the same as concentration camps. Puppy mills are fucked up and wrong but factory farms are on a whole other level. If you think puppy mills are bad, then remember the immense cruelty that most people don't even think about and please try removing meat and dairy from your diet.
I just wanted to say that buying a puppy mill dog isn’t actually a good thing because there are dogs that breed for their whole lives producing puppies. They are locked in cages and abused. My family has been fostering a dog who was part of a puppy mill for about 13 years (we have now had him a couple years). His name is Mr Bo.They treated him so badly that he had to have several operations. He now has one eye and is completely blind. He also has no teeth. Whenever we foster dogs we try to get them adopted as soon as possible but no one wants him because his medication is super expensive. He is now 17 years old and we still love him very much. 💕 Sorry if this was long but I just wanted to tell a story of what really happens in puppy mills.
I honestly had no idea!! I feel terrible for purchasing a puppy from a mall and now whenever I look at her I just see her parents trapped in a puppy mill because of me.
Beware, some breeders also work through brokers who pose as rescue agencies. They might say the animal was rescued overseas, hence the high fees. Adopt from a trusted organization, and adopt local!
it makes sense. he loves it when people ask so he can tell them how the puppy is not from a mill and is really from a good breeder. he loves being able to outsmart people by making them believe his LIES because it must make him feel smarter.
tasha b Don’t tell them what to do. You can do what ever you want as long as you are responsible. Many ppl can’t even adopt at shelters or rescues cuz there is too much govt involved. The shelter / rescue I was trying to adopt from (a gsd named Louie) wouldn’t even let me see him or meet him and the ppl working there said that bc I have roommates, ALL of the roommates have to meet him at the same time (which is none of their business anyway). PLUS, they seemed to be VERY choosy and picky about Louie’s new parent. I couldn’t go through with the adoptions at many of the rescues and shelters I went to BECAUSE there was so much govt involved. I’m just sayin-there’s a time for more govt, and there’s a time and need for fewer, limited govt. pet adoption is one example.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for spreading awareness. It is so wonderful to see a RUclips channel that is actually trying to make the world a better place. So many people are on the internet these days I can't even imagine the difference videos like this will make in giving animals a voice.
And bring home a ticking time bomb that will possibly kill my kids? One day I go to sweep the floor and the dog attacks me because it's previous owner use to beat it with a broom!? Ok! No thanks! I'll raise and train my own pup from 8 weeks.
@@truman5838 Hi!! In all do respect, I would just like to say that not all dogs from shelters are unpredictable! There are plenty of innocent puppies and grown dogs from shelters. Not all shelter dogs get beaten. Sometimes they could've been abandoned or simply was a good dog but the owner couldn't take care of it anymore. Even if the dog did get beaten it could still act like a breeder pup! Also, there are many, many shelter puppies that you can train and raise as well! Not all dogs have to come from a breeder! But, this is always my opinion so please do what you think is best for you and your family! Thanks! Have a good day!
TRU MAN All dogs can be trained, you just have to have patience and perseverance. Also, please don’t call a dog that was previously mistreated “a ticking time bomb” Thank you.
Our 16 week old puppy was lied about in the advertisment. We accidentally and unknowingly bought him from a puppy farm. I felt terrible but simply could not leave him. I wish I could have rescued all of the dogs from there. Unforntunately, it was legally a "puppy farm" where I am from. I plan to adopt always from now on.
Michael Jones well if no ones buys them from stores such as peatland or petsmart or anything like those stores then they will shut down bc they make no money. Bc all they care about is money and NOT the animals.
I've had my dog for 3 years and I never asked these question to the "breeder" I got it from. Then I decided why not and they said "No, they dont come from a puppy mill and we are 100% sure. I got suspicous and asked my brother and mom to further investigate. Turns out it WAS a puppy mill. I later . got my friend ( Loves dogs ) to foster 6 of them and then my neighbor and I each fostered 4. 4 weeks later and all except 2 have been adopted
No, please stop telling people to adopt from Puppy Mills. For everyone dog you buy a new litter of dogs takes it's place. The owner/owners of the puppy mills will think they have supporters, so they will...er...need to restock somehow. Please stop, report them to the HSUS instead.
We have a similar problem in the UK. We don’t sell puppies in pet shops (as far as I’m aware we don’t do that anymore), but we do have a lot of puppy farms (British term for puppy mills) and they are exactly like what is shown in the video. That’s why when we got my dog, my parents made sure that they saw the actual breeder and the mum with the puppies. You should always go to a genuine breeder, not places like puppy farms/mills.
Responsible breeders should also be the norm. People feel like pet shops are their only option if they want a purebred 8 week old puppy, that's not true! There are lots of breeders who do genetic testing, breed the females only a few times, and do not keep their dogs in bad conditions. How do you know? GO THERE! See the facility, meet the adults, look at the puppies, talk to the breeder, look into any contracts that need to be signed. My trainer for my personal dogs is a German Shepherd breeder. I have seen his dogs compete, seen his dogs right after being imported, seen his facilities, and he shares all of this openly. THAT is a breeder you want to get a pup from. Breeding is not the bad guy, mill breeding is what's bad here.
My family used to breed purebred Jack Russell Terriers. We only had one female and male having puppies and after 4 small litters we had the girl fixed. All our puppies were kept in the house and were free to roam around. But, with California law to sell purebred puppies they have to get their purebred papers and anyone who bought them had to sign contracts. When I told anyone that my family bred puppies they immediately thought that we had a puppy mill.
We got our purebred puppy in Connecticut and we live in New Jersey and we got to see the mom and the dad 2 weeks before the puppies where born and saw them every 2 weeks after there birth until they were 10 months old and we drove 4 hours every time and the house they lived in only had the mom the dad and 1 litter with literally 10 acres of land
I have three dogs. Two are golden retrievers that are purebred, and the last one is a Chihuahua terrier mix I got from the shelter. I got the purebreds from two families whose dogs had puppies. I always thought that puppies at pet stores looked very sick.
I hate it when people shame others for buying a puppy from a breeder. We got our dog from a local breeder and they are actually a good person who cares about the dogs and has all healthy animals. We even got to go visit and see where the puppies live, meet their mother and so on. Not all breeders are bad, so for those that bash others for getting a dog from a breeder, it was their choice, not yours in where they got their dog and at least that choice was a good and reliable one and not a puppy mill.
One in four shelter dogs are purebred and there are many breed-specific rescues. There are so many unwanted dogs due to overpopulation that no matter what you want, you will always have the option of saving a life.
Honestly, there are so many dogs in shelters and from private breeders that are healthier than puppy mill dogs, I wish more people knew about puppy mills. My family never knew about them until I was 10 then I got obsessed with telling everyone about how terrible they were, so my dog probably came from a puppy mill. But I love her all the same. And you really can’t blame someone for getting a puppy mill dog if they don’t know, can you?
@Turbo Rooster Ask to see where the dogs are kept, what condition the mom is in, etc. From my experience, good breeders would be happy to show you what the conditions the dogs are kept in. If a breeder refuses, DONT BUY FROM THEM. That’s a big red flag that there’s something sketchy going on in the background.
@@turborooster8548 You can do lots of research into them all reputable breeders should know the dogs full line up to grand parents. Also ask for video proof, images, and its better to find one you can go to and pick up the dog personally rather than have it flown or dropped off that way your not getting scammed and good breeders should let you meet the parents.
UltraGoldCoin I think the most employees at a pet store might be told incorrect information from their employer. But anyone is certainly able to research how animals arrive at pet stores, ESPECIALLY if they are working in a pet store. I always research everything. I never accept information from only one source; I make sure to acquaint myself with all available information about any given topic. But especially when it comes to animals we share this earth with. Unfortunately, I think many of these pet store people do have accurate information, and choose to lie, because the truth would not enable them to be able to sell ANY of the puppies in their pet stores! And anybody who makes a trip to a pet store with the intention of buying an animal from a pet store, should take the time to use the various search engines and research information on the different types of breeds of dogs, and be informed on the type of dog they want to get, because this is too important a decision to do on a whim...
The sad part is that dogs that come from puppy mills are usually sick and sold sick. Also apparently it is legal to have a dog jammed in a cage on top of another cage so that the dogs poor paws get hurt and for their entire life! It really is just sad
Its allowed because the dogs are legally treated as livestock. Same thing happens to chickens, many are forced to live in tiny wire cages and their feet get horribly damaged. It's very sad, no animals should suffer like that!
I am so glad there are people that do not support this. I actually just learned a lot about puppy mills the past week for an essay it us just sad how "breeders" do not care for the dog's well being but instead for the money!
True. And the same is true for farmed animals that are chopped up and sold for food in first world countries where we have other simple dietary options. Humans treat the vast majority of animals as objects to be produced, used, and sold.
Anyone started a campaign against this stuff? To raise more awareness or anything? I currently live in Japan and have had to explain to my girlfriend about why and how they obtain their puppies.
Many many ...Harley to the rescue is a well known organization...Fonzies World is my rescued dogs page on Facebook. He is a Senior Dog who was neglected skinny and sick when I got him. I just took.him to get him well and find a good home for him, he's staying forever
I had always adopted every dog I had ever owned. The last 2 passed away, 2 weeks apart at almost 15 years old, leaving their other adopted brother alone who is 9. We wanted to get him a playmate but I needed to mourn. So we didn’t pursue adoption yet. Then, in our local mall, my kids wanted to go into a pet store, one I ALWAYS I would NEVER buy a dog from. I knew from reputation they lied, were overpriced, and dogs came from puppy mills. However, still mourning, I wanted to see any dog! So while we were in there it happened. That when you know you can’t live without that dog look. She was no more than 4 weeks old (however I couldn’t prove it) She was frail and weak (found out later battling terrible stomach parasites) and was EXTREMELY small. She also had 2 eye infections (or a tiny cold as they put it) We didn’t buy her, but when she was still there a week later, as sick as can be (And again found out that she went from 5lbs to 2 1/2 lbs...a supposed 9 week full breed chocolate lab) So we negotiated her down to almost half the price...they were going to put her down and I just couldn’t bare it. She looked so week and fragile, I thought of my other 2 babies I lost. She is now Gorgeous and healthy but it took a long time. She is 10 months now, and best buddies with my other dog. I refuse to ever go in a pet store anymore that sells puppies, but I can’t help to think I was meant to get this one. I know it doesn’t fix the problem, and every puppy mill should be shut down, but how do you turn your back on a sick puppy?
@@abhijitkhare6838 Actually... her buying that puppy causes another puppy to be in those same terrible positions. I do think she did the right thing, however "One puppy 'saved' is one less unhappy and sick puppy" isn't true :/
Kinda think you should've gone to the shelter. It's a sad story but we can give them money or they will keep doing it. There are many other sick and dying puppies out there because they make the puppy mills money.
ohi bacon We shut down the mills, move the adult dogs out of their role as breeding animals into other circulation. The puppies won't be there if the adult dogs aren't
We Start by not keeping these lying Stores in business, by not buying a Puppy from them. Many of the puppies have serious health problems that don't appear for a while, many end up costing these people a lot of money for Vet bills and medications. Backyard breeders who just do it to make money without health checks on the Parents are no better ..I have a Dog who rescued as a Senior who was used as a breeder ..He never should have been because he has health problems that were probably passed down to the puppies :( I spend a lot on medication and special food for him because he deserves to be wanted for more than the babies he made..besides he looks better without those extra unnecessary parts ;)
I love that you brought up this issue to aspiring dog owners. Always always ALWAYS look into where the puppy came from before purchasing, and try to never purchase from a pet store. That being said, people who buy animals from responsible and loving breeders are absolutely not any less worthy to have that pet. That means that person did their research and did what they felt was right for them. Obviously, adopting from shelters is usually the main objective because those sweet animals do need good homes, but don’t let people put you down if you decided that a shelter animal wasn’t right for you. ❤️
We own a dog wich use to be in an illeagel dog fighting ring i feel soooooo sorry for it but now when it sees our other dog it barks bc iit is scared but she's gental
Seren Sayrlook umm the saying is adopt dont shop and if we did not adopt or buy the animals then they will grow up and be sent to a different breeder..... I think and if im right then #ADOPTDONTSHOP
@@andreear88 Your concern is coming from a good place, but by buying the pet store animals you're giving the bad places income. And that just makes everything worse
@Jessica Kaur - Judith Nyman SS (2404) A lot of pet store dogs come from puppy mills, which are basically properties with way too many dogs in bad conditions. The dogs there are forced to breed too often and the dogs are almost always sick. The video goes more in depth. But basically adopting a dog from the shelter stops puppy mills from getting that money, and you're making more room in the shelter, which are both good things. Hope I helped :)
I adopted my cat too... And will give her the best life I can always. She's a little crazy but I prefer to have her here at my house and not abandoned on the street having hundred of kitties.
There used to be a puppy store like these in the mall near me. But then they got in trouble for sourcing from puppy mills, and got closed down a few years ago
#AdoptDontShop In my country in europe there are no dogs sold in shops. But breeders sell them by internet making the appearance it is from private to private. They come from puppy mills and are driven from one country to another under abusive conditions.
Omg I never realized that the dogs at pet stores were from puppy mills! I bought a pup from a store a couple months ago but I never knew that. Thankfully my dog is a very good girl and is awesome, Although, I think my next dog will be from a rescue or a shelter
They are taken to a back room and Euthanized. I worked at a place called Uncle Blls petshop. We had three weeks to get a puppy sold, if it wasn't they'd be taken to a back room and putdown. REPLY
They get discounted, put on super sale. The pet store owners lose all the money they invested in that puppy if they kill it, so they don't really do that. They go on sale and get sold to someone who scored a deal by buying a puppy half off it's og price and the store makes its money back. If a pet store owner decided to euthanize a puppy they're a fucking idiot who wouldnt be able to even keep any type of store afloat. I've never met, in all my years at pet stores, an owner or employee who thinks any animsl has a 'sell by date' or would be okay with putting down puppies who pass that made up expiration date. most good, properly-run stores would rather send the puppy to a rescue where they have a great chance of adoption.
my previous dog was a street dog in spain. Her parents were most likely abandoned on the street and she got pregnant and had my dog. They were captured. MY dog wasn't going to make it through the week. she had to be adopted in a week or she'd be put to sleep because of the overpopulation instead of living 1 month, my pupper had 13 years of the best life, and once I can I will adopt another dog rescued from things like mills, an older dog that needs the perfect home, and some spoiling
I was at a pet store a few years ago and most of the cages had about two small puppies, because the cages were VERY small. Then one day I saw a golden doodle puppy in one of the cages, but he was way to big for the cage! Whenever he moved, the roof of the cage rattled! I feel bad for both dogs in shelters and dogs in pet stores! Neither pet store pups or shelter pups have ever felt true love! It’s so sad!
This is absolutely heartbreaking to see! I'm disgusted to find out that people on this planet have the heart to own puppy mills and get their puppies from them, therefore supporting the puppy mills, on top of that THEY LIE ABOUT IT TOO!!!! In the area I live in new laws have been placed so that no pet shops can sell puppies unless they are from a pound or shelter and are RSPCA approved. Here, if you want a puppy you either adopt or get one from a licensed breeder. It's good to see that more and more areas are taking this disgusting matter into account and are finding ways to prevent it.
I’m a simple person I see a puppy like looks like mine on the thumbnail And I click And before you ask, no we did not get her from a pet store or puppy mill. We got her from a breeder. It’s a safe breeder we checked everywhere.
@@Nour-mx3uu if responsible breeders are not supported, all that will remain are shady puppy mills. Support responsible breeders so healthy animals can live abuse-free lives. Or adopt from shelters (which is what I did). There are also no-kill shelters.
I had three adopted dogs..... two of which ran away from puppy mills. Unfortunately, due to their previous living conditions (and the abuse they received) they both received brain damage and one had to be put down when he could no longer be considered safe to be around. The other is still living happily in her own little bubble of “dog dementia” and is constantly forgetting where she is.
Wish Bean you should call your local ASPCA, and report the mall dog shop immediately! If you are a person who purchase a piece in social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or Twitter, you could also take pictures of this place showing what you witnessed, and post it online and get people to be aware of what you witnessed. People will be outraged, and hopefully this will bring about an instantaneous change in the way these poor puppies are treated!
Wish Bean ..it’s not not good for the pups to not have food, but I can assure you the glass cages had air holes in them....or the puppies would of been dead
Our local Petsmart works with the local shelters in Northern Arizona. They even have the shelter and sanctuary volunteers helping. All the dogs and cats at Petsmart are from the shelters. I can’t say the same for all Petsmart locations though.
If you’re going to get a certain breed of dog go to a private breeder that you get to go to their house and see the dogs and how they’re being taken care of for yourself.

That's true. The stores themselves are lying, but many of the employees may believe what they are saying because that is what they are told.

my dog Sophie was a breeding dog who lived in terrible conditions. We got her at the beginning of last year, she couldn’t jump, bark, howl or anything. She was scared to eat, scared to walk everything, it was so sad. She is now 3 and i have trained her to sit which took six months, jump, howl and everything a dog should do. She was given to us after the breeder nearly put her down because she wasn’t able to feed her children. I love her so much and it hurts me knowing that her sisters go through this still till this day. I hope this ends soon because no animals should be treated like this. please stop it. Thank you

olivia yes amen
Then why does it say gamer
@Kaiser Isaiah Foo Probably in shops to be sold or bred for more puppies
Makka Pakka they spelt the sentence right if you read the whole thing -.-
In my country you don’t get dogs and ferrets from pet stores, you get toys and food from the pet stores with is really cool
Thats awesome! Mine does too unless they do special adoption things to try and get a few animals out of the shelter, because even though they try so hard each animal can't get personal attention. I got my puppy from a shelter and she was SUPER skinny. She wouldn't have died or starved, she would have lived for a while, but I bet she always felt hungry.. She eats EVERYTHING!
my country doesnt have shelters at all. just pet stores. so if you want a non store pet, you can take one off the street or visit a breeder. its sad, really
We here in the nederlands can't buy cats or dogs from pets stores, but we can buy mice , rats , bunny's i believe and hamsters from a pets store ..
In my pet stores where I live all you get is pet food, pet toys, pet beds and only in the veryy big shops they sell fish (they have massive tanks) and rarely hamsters (but thry have massive boxes to live in)
I think here you get fish hamsters and maybe bunnies. Haven't seen dogs nor cats in pet shops
I rescued my cat, she was found abandoned and locked up in an apartment complex. She was locked in one of the rooms with no food or water. Not sure how long she was there but she’s doing great now! She’s 5 years old and seems to be happy! :)
Thats amazing! But whoever abandoned her, *SHAME ON YOU, IT'S A HELPLESS ANIMAL WHO JUST WANTS TO LIVE THEIR LIFE!!*
Bless you 🙏
thats great same situation with one of my cats. we named her 7 because that was the room number she was found in
We found a gray cat who was dumped from a farm and we’re going to give her to a trusted farm owner that we know that treats animals well Because she loves the outdoors
Bless you🙏
Damn Liars!!!
oh the human race, so honest and modest to every species.
I think they're blind
The store owner and puppy mill owners are. They are oblivious to anything but money. Oh, and the puppies too... literally.
Ye ITS NOT FAIR FOR THE DOGS
Kinda offensive tho
Money, all about the money.
Poor dogs, who suffer.
I want a dog in the future, but a sweet, older doggo out of a shelter
not all people abuse their dogs actually its great that you want an older dog but dogs from breeder deserve love too as long as the breeder treats their animals right
@@jettheottb with my comment I was talking about the bad ones. Overbreeding to get 'the perfect dog', puppy mills and so on.
There are good people out there who breed responsible, but to every good person there will be two bad ones wanting to make money out of the misery
Hope one day we can change that and have more good than bad people
Poko0Chan where I live I can’t even find a dog to adopt in my country that first my criteria’s
must be female on the smaller size (I live in an apartment) 2 years or younger and when I finally see one they are gone instantly
I am not sure if we just don’t have that problem here or if I am just really unlucky but the dogs seem to few and pretty fast adopted
So I kinda just look for dogs from breeders now (good ones) since I have been keeping an eye out at the shelters for like 5 years
It’s amazing to see you wanting an older dog. Loads of people go for younger ones and I think it’s pretty selfish. It’s like dogs have an expiration date. Always get older dogs. Give them a life they deserve before it’s too late :).
Heather Beaumont of course but if you get dogs from bleeders but it’s better to not support them and buy from them, that way they can stop.
adopt DONT shop
Maria Alexiou tes
Yes
ADOPT or SHOP RESBONSIBLY
Even if you do adopt, the dogs not being bought from breeders will be put in a shelter and killed once they weren’t adopted, I just get... mad when people say this because if you don’t shop there will be more to adopt.
Yes, I got my dog from a shelter but still, there are no breeders around which we could’ve bought from. Say ‘Adopt and Shop Responsibly’
@@donuloth756 dude if the breeders sees that nobody buys their fucking puppies amd they always have to give them to shelters they WILL stop breeding their dogs because its a waste of m o n e y
I don’t think is the employees fault (every time) because the bosses may say to them that they don’t come from puppy mills and the employees believe it and say what they heard to the customers
True. Also most may be not aware and being lied about it.
Or the Bosses might be.. Well. Horrible and force them to not tell to us.
Maybe that's part of the reason they blur the faces.
@@Natasha-yq6df no, its just illegal to not blurr the faces of people when they don't have permission to.
But employees still don't know a single thing about proper care for animals
Poor dogs 😟😣

Poor cows and pigs too
“Sick puppies” are probably the saddest 2 words
my puppy became sick and almost died but we saved her
Da most sad *WHYYYYY ITS JUST.... WRONG!!!!!*
More like "Sick animals" because other pets are getting abused too.
For me it’s “sick rabbits” or “sick cats” I couldn’t imagine what life would be like without my cat or my 3 rabbits 😔
“We don’t give the truth unless you spend thousands of dollars on a pet” basically
I was looking at getting a pomeranian pup at a mall pet shop. I'm sooo glad my parents didn't let me get the dog! 1. It was like 4,000 bucks (because it was a girl). 2. My mom doesn't like pets, she says I can get a dog when I move out. Now I look back that pup was probably from a puppy mill :c The dogs lived in tanks in the wall and you could only access them from the back. They had little to no water and food, and you could only play with them if you bought one.
nope we paid 8900 for our goldendoodle at petland and he came from a puppy mill :(
Ok first, please if you catch a pet store lying about puppy mills , report it to the police. Second, I know y'all wanna save the dogs in the mill and buy them all, and people think their saving them, but really your just putting generations of dogs to the slaughter. Every time you buy one, puppy mills breed more. More because they think they have supporters. More because they will make more money because people think they are saving dogs. Just know this. Every time you buy a dog from a puppy mill, you give a whole other littler, miserable lives.
This is my opinion, with back up. Like if you agree
MidnightWolf806 I would buy them all but I would not be aloud
You probably weren't paying attention, but the video says "adopt, don't shop"
Kotala Foxhound Wolf isn’t talking about the Dodo, they are talking about the viewers...
This is sad and like they say adopt dont shop but then again dogs from puppy mills need a home aswell so they can be out of their living conditions no?
Huidos001 organizations such as the HSUS shut down puppy mills and then you can adopt them. HSI gets dogs from meat farms. The HSUS also stops hoarding situations. Also this sounds demented but if you think about it, it isn’t. It’s better all the puppy mills end up dying off or rescued. Dogs are continuously forced to breed until they can’t and they will get killed. Dogs that don’t get adopted are either euthanized or put in a gas chamber. And then hundreds of your dollars will go to continuously breeding and torturing dogs.
Puppy Mills are the same as concentration camps. SHUT IT DOWN, SHUT IT DOWN, SHUT IT DOWN, SHUT IT DOWN.
Dammit Boy i agree
Factory farms are the same as concentration camps. Puppy mills are fucked up and wrong but factory farms are on a whole other level. If you think puppy mills are bad, then remember the immense cruelty that most people don't even think about and please try removing meat and dairy from your diet.
Chill Charmander you seriously don't know what happens in a puppy mill?
Dammit Boy no you can't compare hitler and nazis to puppy mills I'm not Jewish but this is still a wrong thing to say.
You mean like Nazi concentration camps? Unless those puppies are being killed in a gas chambers or burned alive, it's not the same.
I just wanted to say that buying a puppy mill dog isn’t actually a good thing because there are dogs that breed for their whole lives producing puppies. They are locked in cages and abused.
My family has been fostering a dog who was part of a puppy mill for about 13 years (we have now had him a couple years). His name is Mr Bo.They treated him so badly that he had to have several operations. He now has one eye and is completely blind. He also has no teeth. Whenever we foster dogs we try to get them adopted as soon as possible but no one wants him because his medication is super expensive.
He is now 17 years old and we still love him very much. 💕
Sorry if this was long but I just wanted to tell a story of what really happens in puppy mills.
A lot of dog mill dogs are also inbred
Thats so sad! Animals should stop being abused, thats just *HORRIBLE!*
puppy mills are truly sick. thank god mr. bo found you guys
I honestly had no idea!! I feel terrible for purchasing a puppy from a mall and now whenever I look at her I just see her parents trapped in a puppy mill because of me.
So shameful how they lie
They lie so much just to make money?????
Arcade Geek yea ik right, like we are talking about lives here. Honestly people should ashamed to lie about such cruelty.
Arcade Geek I believe the actual owners of the stores are lying, employees, however, are being lied to as well.
It's not that surprising. Look at mankind in general, greedy and disgraceful.
Welcome to Capitalism.
welcome to capitalism
Beware, some breeders also work through brokers who pose as rescue agencies. They might say the animal was rescued overseas, hence the high fees. Adopt from a trusted organization, and adopt local!
My pet store doesn’t have puppies. But every other week they team up with shelters to bring dogs in.

it makes sense. he loves it when people ask so he can tell them how the puppy is not from a mill and is really from a good breeder. he loves being able to outsmart people by making them believe his LIES because it must make him feel smarter.
No more puppy mills! We can shut them down, it's possible. #adoptdontshop #emptythecages

God Bless you Dodo for spotlighting this horrible situation!!! Adopt don't shop. Period!
The employees probably don’t know what’s going on... they might have been lied to just like everybody else...
This is horrible. PLEASE adopt from shelters or rescue groups instead of going to the pet store.
What if the local shelters and rescue groups do not have a dog that is what you want?
Liam Dahvis Exactly
Liam Dahvis then go to a different one...?
Liam Dahvis then check a different one, use petfinder or don't get one at all. Animals are living creatures not commodities.
tasha b
Don’t tell them what to do. You can do what ever you want as long as you are responsible.
Many ppl can’t even adopt at shelters or rescues cuz there is too much govt involved. The shelter / rescue I was trying to adopt from (a gsd named Louie) wouldn’t even let me see him or meet him and the ppl working there said that bc I have roommates, ALL of the roommates have to meet him at the same time (which is none of their business anyway). PLUS, they seemed to be VERY choosy and picky about Louie’s new parent.
I couldn’t go through with the adoptions at many of the rescues and shelters I went to BECAUSE there was so much govt involved.
I’m just sayin-there’s a time for more govt, and there’s a time and need for fewer, limited govt. pet adoption is one example.
this is sad female dogs who cant have puppies get put down😭😭😭😭😭😭
A family friend of mine rescued a puppy mill mama, and her hind legs are forever damaged and swollen. Poor thing can hardly walk.
Marnie's Menagerie Aww, even though I’m not a dog person, animals that are being used for money is sickening. Thought at least yours is healthier.
and the worst part about that is that in this case death is their freedom...

@@truman5838 Hi!! In all do respect, I would just like to say that not all dogs from shelters are unpredictable! There are plenty of innocent puppies and grown dogs from shelters. Not all shelter dogs get beaten. Sometimes they could've been abandoned or simply was a good dog but the owner couldn't take care of it anymore. Even if the dog did get beaten it could still act like a breeder pup! Also, there are many, many shelter puppies that you can train and raise as well! Not all dogs have to come from a breeder! But, this is always my opinion so please do what you think is best for you and your family! Thanks! Have a good day!
TRU MAN All dogs can be trained, you just have to have patience and perseverance. Also, please don’t call a dog that was previously mistreated “a ticking time bomb” Thank you.

#AdoptDontShop
Oh those poor babies. My heart breals at seeing those conditions.
Our 16 week old puppy was lied about in the advertisment. We accidentally and unknowingly bought him from a puppy farm. I felt terrible but simply could not leave him. I wish I could have rescued all of the dogs from there. Unforntunately, it was legally a "puppy farm" where I am from. I plan to adopt always from now on.
#ADOPTDON’TSHOP
Then what happens to the ones in the stores? I agree people should adopt but that's unfair in a sense to the pups stuck at a store too.
Who the heck is don and why should we adopt him?
Michael Jones well if no ones buys them from stores such as peatland or petsmart or anything like those stores then they will shut down bc they make no money. Bc all they care about is money and NOT the animals.
The PetSmart I've seen sell rescue dogs and cats from the SPCA. Should I not adopt from them then?
NO PUPPYMILLS.!! :)
I've had my dog for 3 years and I never asked these question to the "breeder" I got it from. Then I decided why not and they said "No, they dont come from a puppy mill and we are 100% sure. I got suspicous and asked my brother and mom to further investigate. Turns out it WAS a puppy mill. I later . got my friend ( Loves dogs ) to foster 6 of them and then my neighbor and I each fostered 4. 4 weeks later and all except 2 have been adopted
No, please stop telling people to adopt from Puppy Mills. For everyone dog you buy a new litter of dogs takes it's place. The owner/owners of the puppy mills will think they have supporters, so they will...er...need to restock somehow. Please stop, report them to the HSUS instead.
Ik it's sad but it's not the right thing to do, ur funding the puppy farms so they can buy more females to breed from🙁
God bless all of these poor pups and other animals I pray for all of them to find homes that care and love them.❤️😢
thank you for doing this. I commend you guys for putting these greedy pet store owners in the hot seat, very well done.
Poor puppies being victims of greed😭😭😭
Everyone, to STOP puppy mills, share this with a local pet store!
Thank you dodo for educating the people out there 😊
We have a similar problem in the UK. We don’t sell puppies in pet shops (as far as I’m aware we don’t do that anymore), but we do have a lot of puppy farms (British term for puppy mills) and they are exactly like what is shown in the video. That’s why when we got my dog, my parents made sure that they saw the actual breeder and the mum with the puppies. You should always go to a genuine breeder, not places like puppy farms/mills.
Responsible breeders should also be the norm. People feel like pet shops are their only option if they want a purebred 8 week old puppy, that's not true! There are lots of breeders who do genetic testing, breed the females only a few times, and do not keep their dogs in bad conditions. How do you know? GO THERE! See the facility, meet the adults, look at the puppies, talk to the breeder, look into any contracts that need to be signed. My trainer for my personal dogs is a German Shepherd breeder. I have seen his dogs compete, seen his dogs right after being imported, seen his facilities, and he shares all of this openly. THAT is a breeder you want to get a pup from. Breeding is not the bad guy, mill breeding is what's bad here.
My family used to breed purebred Jack Russell Terriers. We only had one female and male having puppies and after 4 small litters we had the girl fixed. All our puppies were kept in the house and were free to roam around. But, with California law to sell purebred puppies they have to get their purebred papers and anyone who bought them had to sign contracts. When I told anyone that my family bred puppies they immediately thought that we had a puppy mill.
We got our purebred puppy in Connecticut and we live in New Jersey and we got to see the mom and the dad 2 weeks before the puppies where born and saw them every 2 weeks after there birth until they were 10 months old and we drove 4 hours every time and the house they lived in only had the mom the dad and 1 litter with literally 10 acres of land
I have three dogs. Two are golden retrievers that are purebred, and the last one is a Chihuahua terrier mix I got from the shelter. I got the purebreds from two families whose dogs had puppies.
I always thought that puppies at pet stores looked very sick.
I hate it when people shame others for buying a puppy from a breeder. We got our dog from a local breeder and they are actually a good person who cares about the dogs and has all healthy animals. We even got to go visit and see where the puppies live, meet their mother and so on. Not all breeders are bad, so for those that bash others for getting a dog from a breeder, it was their choice, not yours in where they got their dog and at least that choice was a good and reliable one and not a puppy mill.
One in four shelter dogs are purebred and there are many breed-specific rescues. There are so many unwanted dogs due to overpopulation that no matter what you want, you will always have the option of saving a life.
Honestly, there are so many dogs in shelters and from private breeders that are healthier than puppy mill dogs, I wish more people knew about puppy mills. My family never knew about them until I was 10 then I got obsessed with telling everyone about how terrible they were, so my dog probably came from a puppy mill. But I love her all the same. And you really can’t blame someone for getting a puppy mill dog if they don’t know, can you?
So what happened to . Always see the puppy with his/her mum.If the mother isnt there then they have come from elswhere.Just common sense.
But how do you make sure that a breeder is a good one and not a puppy mill in disguise?
@Turbo Rooster
Ask to see where the dogs are kept, what condition the mom is in, etc. From my experience, good breeders would be happy to show you what the conditions the dogs are kept in. If a breeder refuses, DONT BUY FROM THEM. That’s a big red flag that there’s something sketchy going on in the background.
@@turborooster8548 You can do lots of research into them all reputable breeders should know the dogs full line up to grand parents. Also ask for video proof, images, and its better to find one you can go to and pick up the dog personally rather than have it flown or dropped off that way your not getting scammed and good breeders should let you meet the parents.
Ik it's hard but ask to see the mum ( and the dad if pos) if they say no then something sketchy is going on.
Also look at birth documents
It's crazy, how someone literally get profits from poor animal
Awesome investigating! Keep exposing these abusers!
If their lying, that's pretty digusting if so. I'm wondering if that's information that they were given.
At least their shedding light on the situation and more awareness means less puppy Mills. Means more adoption which is great. More positivity
UltraGoldCoin I think the most employees at a pet store might be told incorrect information from their employer. But anyone is certainly able to research how animals arrive at pet stores, ESPECIALLY if they are working in a pet store. I always research everything. I never accept information from only one source; I make sure to acquaint myself with all available information about any given topic. But especially when it comes to animals we share this earth with. Unfortunately, I think many of these pet store people do have accurate information, and choose to lie, because the truth would not enable them to be able to sell ANY of the puppies in their pet stores! And anybody who makes a trip to a pet store with the intention of buying an animal from a pet store, should take the time to use the various search engines and research information on the different types of breeds of dogs, and be informed on the type of dog they want to get, because this is too important a decision to do on a whim...
The sad part is that dogs that come from puppy mills are usually sick and sold sick. Also apparently it is legal to have a dog jammed in a cage on top of another cage so that the dogs poor paws get hurt and for their entire life! It really is just sad
SwaggyDoggy that's why COPS shouldn't exist well some of them some are sweet some of them hit animals not a mistake
Its allowed because the dogs are legally treated as livestock. Same thing happens to chickens, many are forced to live in tiny wire cages and their feet get horribly damaged. It's very sad, no animals should suffer like that!
Why would PETA do something good and raid puppy mills when there's well taken care for and loved pets to be put down?
Think you’re confused. This is the Dodo, not PETA
Most shelters put down perfectly healthy dogs because there's just too many, thanks to people such as those running puppy mills.
I feel really sad for those dogs who can’t even enjoy freedom and love. Damn you humanity, you broke my heart again
I am so glad there are people that do not support this. I actually just learned a lot about puppy mills the past week for an essay it us just sad how "breeders" do not care for the dog's well being but instead for the money!
True. And the same is true for farmed animals that are chopped up and sold for food in first world countries where we have other simple dietary options. Humans treat the vast majority of animals as objects to be produced, used, and sold.
SwaggyDoggy why money shouldn't exist
Anyone started a campaign against this stuff? To raise more awareness or anything? I currently live in Japan and have had to explain to my girlfriend about why and how they obtain their puppies.

I had always adopted every dog I had ever owned. The last 2 passed away, 2 weeks apart at almost 15 years old, leaving their other adopted brother alone who is 9. We wanted to get him a playmate but I needed to mourn. So we didn’t pursue adoption yet. Then, in our local mall, my kids wanted to go into a pet store, one I ALWAYS I would NEVER buy a dog from. I knew from reputation they lied, were overpriced, and dogs came from puppy mills. However, still mourning, I wanted to see any dog! So while we were in there it happened. That when you know you can’t live without that dog look. She was no more than 4 weeks old (however I couldn’t prove it) She was frail and weak (found out later battling terrible stomach parasites) and was EXTREMELY small. She also had 2 eye infections (or a tiny cold as they put it) We didn’t buy her, but when she was still there a week later, as sick as can be (And again found out that she went from 5lbs to 2 1/2 lbs...a supposed 9 week full breed chocolate lab) So we negotiated her down to almost half the price...they were going to put her down and I just couldn’t bare it. She looked so week and fragile, I thought of my other 2 babies I lost. She is now Gorgeous and healthy but it took a long time. She is 10 months now, and best buddies with my other dog. I refuse to ever go in a pet store anymore that sells puppies, but I can’t help to think I was meant to get this one. I know it doesn’t fix the problem, and every puppy mill should be shut down, but how do you turn your back on a sick puppy?
I am so happy you adopted the little puppy! One puppy saved is one less unhappy and sick puppy! You recieve a like!
@@abhijitkhare6838 Actually... her buying that puppy causes another puppy to be in those same terrible positions. I do think she did the right thing, however "One puppy 'saved' is one less unhappy and sick puppy" isn't true :/
Kinda think you should've gone to the shelter. It's a sad story but we can give them money or they will keep doing it. There are many other sick and dying puppies out there because they make the puppy mills money.
So what do we do with the dogs from mills?
ohi bacon We shut down the mills, move the adult dogs out of their role as breeding animals into other circulation. The puppies won't be there if the adult dogs aren't
Ferret Lance But what happens to the puppies then?
Ibrahim Fadhil Senjaya : they get adopted to loving homes
💔💔💔💔
We Start by not keeping these lying Stores in business, by not buying a Puppy from them. Many of the puppies have serious health problems that don't appear for a while, many end up costing these people a lot of money for Vet bills and medications. Backyard breeders who just do it to make money without health checks on the Parents are no better ..I have a Dog who rescued as a Senior who was used as a breeder ..He never should have been because he has health problems that were probably passed down to the puppies :(
I spend a lot on medication and special food for him because he deserves to be wanted for more than the babies he made..besides he looks better without those extra unnecessary parts ;)
Lolololol
You should show this video to the exact people who said it didn't come from puppy mills 😂😂😂
I love that you brought up this issue to aspiring dog owners. Always always ALWAYS look into where the puppy came from before purchasing, and try to never purchase from a pet store. That being said, people who buy animals from responsible and loving breeders are absolutely not any less worthy to have that pet. That means that person did their research and did what they felt was right for them. Obviously, adopting from shelters is usually the main objective because those sweet animals do need good homes, but don’t let people put you down if you decided that a shelter animal wasn’t right for you. ❤️

@@andreear88 Your concern is coming from a good place, but by buying the pet store animals you're giving the bad places income. And that just makes everything worse
@Jessica Kaur - Judith Nyman SS (2404) A lot of pet store dogs come from puppy mills, which are basically properties with way too many dogs in bad conditions. The dogs there are forced to breed too often and the dogs are almost always sick. The video goes more in depth. But basically adopting a dog from the shelter stops puppy mills from getting that money, and you're making more room in the shelter, which are both good things. Hope I helped :)

REPLY
Liam Dahvis Wow. That's sad. Really really sad. But thank you for giving me this info! Thanks!
They get discounted, put on super sale. The pet store owners lose all the money they invested in that puppy if they kill it, so they don't really do that. They go on sale and get sold to someone who scored a deal by buying a puppy half off it's og price and the store makes its money back.
If a pet store owner decided to euthanize a puppy they're a fucking idiot who wouldnt be able to even keep any type of store afloat.
I've never met, in all my years at pet stores, an owner or employee who thinks any animsl has a 'sell by date' or would be okay with putting down puppies who pass that made up expiration date.
most good, properly-run stores would rather send the puppy to a rescue where they have a great chance of adoption.
makoflo just, life is hard for puppies..
I’d like everyone to pray for these poor pups and female dogs.
#ENDPUPPYMILLS
my previous dog was a street dog in spain. Her parents were most likely abandoned on the street and she got pregnant and had my dog. They were captured. MY dog wasn't going to make it through the week. she had to be adopted in a week or she'd be put to sleep because of the overpopulation
instead of living 1 month, my pupper had 13 years of the best life, and once I can I will adopt another dog rescued from things like mills, an older dog that needs the perfect home, and some spoiling
I was at a pet store a few years ago and most of the cages had about two small puppies, because the cages were VERY small. Then one day I saw a golden doodle puppy in one of the cages, but he was way to big for the cage! Whenever he moved, the roof of the cage rattled! I feel bad for both dogs in shelters and dogs in pet stores! Neither pet store pups or shelter pups have ever felt true love! It’s so sad!
Thank you DODO
Hey, dodo! Love from canada!!
Im just glad that our recent pets are just stray cats and dogs and puppies of those stray dogs who just randomly comes to our house.
Every dog deserves a chance at a loving home
I am glad they got caught, also Puppy mills should be banned
So sick
This is absolutely heartbreaking to see! I'm disgusted to find out that people on this planet have the heart to own puppy mills and get their puppies from them, therefore supporting the puppy mills, on top of that THEY LIE ABOUT IT TOO!!!! In the area I live in new laws have been placed so that no pet shops can sell puppies unless they are from a pound or shelter and are RSPCA approved. Here, if you want a puppy you either adopt or get one from a licensed breeder. It's good to see that more and more areas are taking this disgusting matter into account and are finding ways to prevent it.
also, rescuing feels good knowing you saved a life.
If I were to work at a pet store I would secretly tell the truth. But Canada doesn't sell dogs in pet stores anymore only at shelters
Don't be sad they don't have dogs in pet stores, you should be happy! Here in the US you won't believe how many dogs are in shelters.

@@lathafalls7675 going to the ASPCA website there is no information on adopting an animal, only a donation page?
Adopt from shelters not breeders, the animals in shelters are put to death if not adopted
@@Nour-mx3uu if responsible breeders are not supported, all that will remain are shady puppy mills. Support responsible breeders so healthy animals can live abuse-free lives. Or adopt from shelters (which is what I did). There are also no-kill shelters.
I had three adopted dogs..... two of which ran away from puppy mills. Unfortunately, due to their previous living conditions (and the abuse they received) they both received brain damage and one had to be put down when he could no longer be considered safe to be around. The other is still living happily in her own little bubble of “dog dementia” and is constantly forgetting where she is.
Breaks my heart
Hint:
*ITS A PUPPY MILL*
Wow, what a hint. 😂
I went to a mall dog shop where they sealed dogs and half of them had no food and they were crying and they were in glass cages with no holes
Wish Bean you should call your local ASPCA, and report the mall dog shop immediately! If you are a person who purchase a piece in social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or Twitter, you could also take pictures of this place showing what you witnessed, and post it online and get people to be aware of what you witnessed. People will be outraged, and hopefully this will bring about an instantaneous change in the way these poor puppies are treated!
Wish Bean ..it’s not not good for the pups to not have food, but I can assure you the glass cages had air holes in them....or the puppies would of been dead
Wish Bean call the aspca
Our local Petsmart works with the local shelters in Northern Arizona. They even have the shelter and sanctuary volunteers helping. All the dogs and cats at Petsmart are from the shelters. I can’t say the same for all Petsmart locations though.
If you’re going to get a certain breed of dog go to a private breeder that you get to go to their house and see the dogs and how they’re being taken care of for yourself.
Whenever I get older i'm going to raise enough moeny to help save all animals in need all over the world CAUSE I ❤❤❤❤❤ ANIMALS🐵🐒🐶🐕🐩🐺🐱🐈🦁🐯🐅🐆🐴🐎🦄🐮🐂🐃🐄🐷🐖🐗🐽🐏🐑🐐🐪🐫🐘🐭🐁🐀🐹🐰🐇🐿🐻🐨🐼🐾🦃🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥🐦🐧🕊🐸🐊🐢🐍🐲🐉🐳🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🐙🐚🦀🐌🐛🐜🐝🐞🕷🕸🦂

Or shop from a RESPONSIBLE breeder. I get kinda upset when people say adopt don’t shop.
@@b33tle_g00se tell them again
Mischievous Rat ... I hope I didn’t offend you! You are completely right! This may seem a little against what I commented (lol) but I actually purchased my two kitties and my puppy from responsible family breeders! Thanks for clearing this up :)
