When we think of the wilderness – mountains, forests and plains – The Big Guys come to mind – incredible animals with massive horns, sleek coats, gentle eyes and soft muzzles.

Puppy Mills
Puppy Mills also called Puppy Farms are a global atrocity. They are everywhere. The people who own and run them are ruthless, cruel, soulless and without remorse.
