New Documentary Exposes the Politics Behind Puppy Mills
As animal advocates continue to work tirelessly to save dogs from puppy mills, we keep seeing the end result through undercover investigations, adoption campaigns, large-scale seizures and mass rescues of dogs who were lucky enough to be saved.
Now a new feature-length documentary, Dog by Dog, has gone further to expose how an industry that continues to abuse and exploit man’s best friend in a nation of dog lovers has been able to continue to successfully stay in business.
The story is told by Chris Ksoll, a banker who got involved after fostering a former mill dog and Christopher Grimes, CEO of 5414 Productions, who investigates the money trail they believe leads to 2 to 4 million dogs being purchased from mills every year.
. . .
They expose the involvement of agribusinesses that have nothing to do with dogs, including Monsanto and Smithfield – the nation’s largest pork producer – that are stepping in to block any meaningful change for our canine companions. Their interest in thwarting these efforts, many believe, is that if we get change for dogs, we’ll come for their pigs, chickens, goats, sheep and cows next and better standards for animals mean more work and lower profits for them.
