Puppy mills in America are cruel and inhumane as it is. Bringing dogs from puppy mills over to the United States from other countries is an even more reprehensible business. Puppy mills of any kind are dangerous for dogs, as the canines are usually kept in tiny cages with little room or time to move around and play. Puppy mills do not raise healthy dogs.

Worse, young puppies are being brought into the United States in air cargo holds that aren't equipped to house animals. These dogs are often just months old and in no condition to be transported in sub-par conditions across the world. The result is many of the imported dogs arrive in very poor health.

We can't encourage puppy mills by allowing other countries to export their dogs to the United States; we already have a substantial puppy mill problem here at home as it is.
