We believe that puppies as young as 8-weeks-old are being exploited for needless gimmicks by businesses. In our view, using puppies when they are at their most impressionable, placed in an unnatural environment where they are continually handled by strangers and are expected to perform hour after hour to entertain paying customers, is done without regard for their safety, their well-being, or recognition of the emotional damage being caused.
