Victor Ritchey Portrait Artist

An old friend of mine from high school, Victor Ritchey, has started this awareness group that has brought attention to cats and dogs in what we call mills. You can join Vic's cause on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Victor.Ritchey.Portrait.Artist?ref=ts

You may have heard of terms like: Puppy Mills or Kitty Mills.

What quailfies as a Kitty Mill or Puppy Mill?

someone who is looking for a quick buck
someone who drastically undercuts the price of registered purebred cats
someone who does not care who buys their kittens or dogs for what purpose
someone who lets kittens or puppies go at seven weeks or younger so that they do not have to spend any money on vaccinations (nor do they have to approach a vet and admit to what they are doing)

someone who will place their kittens or puppies for sale in pet stores
