Puppies Viewed As Livestock.......

Puppies Viewed As Livestock
The Amish are widely viewed as plain, peaceful people. Reclusive and private, most people only catch glimpses of them as they make their way through the hills of Pennsylvania's Dutch County in buggies. But some of their perfectly manicured farms are home to a secret world. Lancaster County has been called the puppy mill capital of the U.S., and the trade is largely dominated by the Amish.

Secretive and profitable. Breeders can make upwards of half million dollars a year. The Amish breeders sell the dogs at Ohio auctions and the puppies at pet stores.
