The Amish are some of the most egregious and inhumane proprietors of "puppy mills" in the US - massive dog breeding operations that are mired in filth, horrific conditions to which the animals are subjected, forced to breed non-stop virtually from birth, and literally thrown on the scrap heap when their breeding is no longer viable..
All too true. I admire some of the characteristics of the Amish, but did work with them in Lancaster (PA) for several years. There are some ugly aspects to them, and the "puppy mill" issue is one of a number. Like anything else, all that glitters...and that kind of garbage!
