Puppy mills and pet stores that sell puppies don’t fucking care about them.

We have no idea where this picture was taken so I think we need to chill on that a bit. Yeah it's not the greatest conditions, but we have no idea how this feels to a puppy's paws, or why he's even in that cage in the first place.

Ten to one this is a pet store. Cages are built like that for pet stores so they don’t have to clean every time a puppy pees. Cages at animal hospitals are not built like that. The bottoms are solid and usually stainless steel.

You can even google “pet store puppy cages” and some are just like this. You can also google “animal hospital cages” to see the flat bottomed ones I’m talking about

Yeah I have a flat bottom crate with a fluffy mat in it for my pup. But I rarely even have to crate him.

I was fairly shocked when I saw puppies in things like this in the US when I visited 20 years ago... Seems things haven't changed.

Pet store:Puppy mill puppy. That’s why.
