  • (HSVMA) Veterinary Report on Puppy Mills May 2013
    Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association (HSVMA) Veterinary Report on Puppy Mills May 2013 Puppy mills are large-scale canine commercial breeding establishments (CBEs) where puppies are produced in large numbers and dogs are kept in inhumane conditions for commercial sale. That is, the dog breeding facility keeps so many dogs that the needs of the breeding dogs and puppies are not met sufficiently to provide a reasonably decent quality of life for all of the animals. Although the conditions in CBEs vary widely in quality, puppy mills are typically operated with an emphasis on profits over animal welfare and the dogs often live in substandard conditions, housed for their entire reproductive lives in cages or runs, provided little to no positive human interaction or other forms of environmental enrichment, and minimal to no veterinary care. This report reviews the following: • What Makes a Breeding Facility a “Puppy Mill”? • How are Puppies from Puppy Mills Sold? • How Many Puppies Come from Puppy Mills? • Mill Environment Impact on Dog Health • Common Ailments of Puppies from Puppy Mills • Impact of Resale Process on Puppy Health • How Puppy Buyers are Affected • Impact on Animal Shelters and Other Organizations • Conclusion • References What Makes a Breeding Facility a “Puppy Mill”? Emphasis on Quantity not Quality Puppy mills focus on quantity rather than quality. That is, they concentrate on producing as many puppies as possible to maximize profits, impacting the quality of the puppies that are produced. This leads to extreme overcrowding, with some CBEs housing 1,000+ dogs (often referred to as “mega mills”). When dogs live in overcrowded conditions, diseases spread easily.

  • Should We Hunt Gray Wolves in Michigan?
    SHOULD WE HUNT GRAY WOLVES IN MICHIGAN? AUGUST 2018 Dean’s Welcome Welcome, SEAS students! Before you know it, you will be boarding a bus with your classmates, headed for the University of Michigan Biological Station (the “Biostation”) in beautiful Northern Michigan—or “Up North” as Michiganders call it. There, during an immersive orientation experience, you will explore, learn, bond—and become an integral part of our community. This is just the beginning of your graduate career at SEAS, throughout which we will work together to solve some of the world’s most complex environmental problems. This is why you chose SEAS, and why we chose you. It is all very exciting, and we cannot wait to get started. So, why wait? The following case study details an active issue in the state of Michigan: whether or not to allow a public wolf hunt. During your time at the Biostation, you will be asked to examine the issue from opposing, nuanced perspectives, challenging your own gut reaction to the problem. Discussions will be guided by the scientific, political, economic, and social analyses included in these pages. You will actively collaborate with your classmates to uncover and synthesize facts, ultimately building a responsible, sustainable policy recommendation on Michigan’s wolf population. To prepare, simply read the case study and let it simmer. There is no need to do additional research. Enjoy your time at orientation. Get to know your classmates. Explore the gorgeous landscape. And then, come September 4th, join us back at the Dana Building ready to launch your graduate education and set out on a path of meaningful work—work that will have an impact on generations to come.

Since 1877, the Michigan Humane Society has protected, defended and celebrated the animals of Southeast Michigan. Reflect on that for a moment – 138 years. There were only 38 states when we opened our doors and our hearts. The Civil War had only just ended 11 years prior. Rutherford B. Hayes was in his first year as President. In 138 years, things change. The Michigan Humane Society is no different. We have evolved over the years, increasing in scope and impact. The evolution of MHS has been nothing short of incredible. We are the largest and oldest animal welfare organization in Michigan. We stand as one of the most influential, impactful and lifesaving animal welfare organizations in the country.

  • THECONNECTION October 10, 2019 - Issue 27
    THECONNECTION October 10, 2019 - Issue 27 EXPLORING A NEW POTENTIAL VOLUNTEER POSITION By Annual Funds Associate, Sumi Alarabi Last month, I, along with other staff members, was asked to participate in a beta test for a new possible volunteer role. The position was for a Lobby Host at the MHS clinics. Leadership got together and created this role in the hope that a clinic “greeter” could help improve guests’ experience and assist receptionists at peak times. The Lobby Host’s main purpose would be to greet, inform, and thank guests when they enter the clinics. They also perform other duties such as tidying and cleaning up messes, making sure that pets are secure, and engaging with guests during their wait times. My trial shift was at the Berman Center clinic in Westland on September 24th. When I arrived, I met with my designated point person, Melissa. She gave me a quick tour of where to find the cleaning supplies and where the restroom for the clients was located. She then made some suggestions as to how I could assist while they were busy that morning. —for example, helping to open the door for guests with walkers or strollers and people who had their hands full, or helping guests sign in and having a seat while the receptionists were assisting clients on the phone. Whenever I noticed someone was waiting for a while, I would apologize for the wait and engage them in friendly conversation about their pets. At one point there seemed to be an accident in the corner, which I promptly cleaned up to maintain a clean environment for the clients.

  • Veterinary Problems in Puppy Mill Dogs
    Veterinary Problems in Puppy Mill Dogs Dogs in puppy mills often suffer from an array of painful and potentially life-shortening veterinary problems due to overcrowded, unsanitary conditions and the lack of proper oversight or veterinary care. Conditions common to puppy mills, such as the use of stacked, wire cages to house more animals than a given space should reasonably hold, as well as constant exposure to the feces and urine of other dogs, make it difficult for dogs to avoid exposure to common parasites and infectious diseases. In addition, a lack of regular, preventive veterinary care, clean food and water, basic cleaning and grooming, and careful daily observation by the operators may cause even minor injuries or infections to fester until they become severe. These disorders cause undue pain and suffering to the animals involved and often result in premature death.
