A Call for Compassion

Dear President Barack Obama,

My name is Jordan Miller and I am a freshmen attending Scituate High School in Scituate, Massachusetts. I am writing this letter in order to give a voice to the canines affected by puppy mills. I write this to inspire you to take a stand against these horrific actions. 

In puppy mills, the food and water they are fed is often contaminated and crawling with bugs. The cages they are put in are overstuffed with dogs, so they are unable to move much, play, or exercise. The cages the puppies are kept in are rarely cleaned, forcing them to stand in their own urine and feces for long periods of time. They are usually malnourished and infected with numerous diseases. Puppies in mills are found with bleeding or swollen paws, feet falling through the wire cages, severe tooth decay, ear infections, dehydration, and lesions on their eyes, which often lead to blindness. 

As someone in the position of great power, I strongly encourage you to do everything in your power to stop this animal cruelty. This is an abomination and should not be tolerated. Even though they are not human beings, that does not mean that they are not suffering. They need a voice to cry out for help and I hope that this raises the awareness for these inhumane acts. 

I thank you for your time and hope that you consider this issue. 

Sincerely,
Jordan Miller
