The Amish operate some of the cruelest puppy mills in North America and are known to treat their horses horribly. There is nothing beautiful in that photo when it comes to animal welfare.

These people are so hard on their animals, they run the horses into the ground.. If you ever rescued one after they are done with these horses the shape the legs are in is horrible.. Very sad... I rescued 2 puppies from them there were 6 by the time I got there someone had taken 1 and 3 were dead and the 2 I took have mental issues according to the way they act and my vet.. Most people just don't know what goes on behind the closed doors with these people and the animals..

All these comments about how cool this is and how it’s a “simple” way of life. We have an Amish reject that we saved from the kill pen. Used and abused for 20years and tossed away. They don’t treat their animals well because they are equipment.
