I believe By: Markell  Have you ever seen a dog that looks like it has been treated like a rat? Well if you have they probably came from a puppy mill and thats why I think that we should close puppy mills FOREVER! They are cruel to dogs they kill sick dogs and they breed breeding dogs more than they are supposed to!!

 This is how they are cruel to dogs they cage them up all there lives unless they are lucky and, get adopted! But unfortunately most of them don`t have that chance because they are abused in every way. One reason I know this is because I have seen a movie and it was called Benji it was true and that was how I found out about puppy mills and how cruel they are to dogs! Alise one of my class mates says that they are cruel to dogs they want the money not the dog.


 * Why do they kill poor sick hopeless dogs? Because they are mean ugly people and have no heart for animals. Lauren: "I heard that when animals are close to death they beat them until they die! That is wrong, and they only do this because of money. People at puppy mills are messed up and need mental therapy". Thousands of dogs get killed everyday and nobody is there to help them. The Internet has thousands of pictures of a guy with a gun standing next to a dead dog or dogs.**

 **Why do they breed breeding dogs more than they are supposed to? Because they apparently don`t know the rule a dog can only breed 2 a year! They instead breed like 7 times!!! This is a true fact because i got this from my friend that is a breeder. And in Benji the mom dog got sick because she had been breeding so much the had warned his dad ( the owner) that she was going to die soon because he was making her breed so mu**ch! I have been able to drive past a puppy mill and I have seen depressed and sick dogs and I think I know why .... because they were breeding more than they were supposed to! It just makes me want to cry!!!

Other people should care about the poor helpless dogs that get treated like they are dumb rats but they are not they are cute and cuddly dogs that are needing love and attention!!! I believe that we should close puppy mills forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Markell, I am so glad that you picked a topic that you care about. That makes a great essay topic! You also have a great introduction sentence, because you used one of the strategies - asking a question of your reader. Make sure that you have a strong thesis sentence in your introduction paragraph as well. Also, I think using a movie like Benji is a great idea to help prove your point. Please explain what happens in the movie that proves that puppy mills are harmful to dogs. You have a great start and I can't wait to read more!
