U.S. puppy mills are bad enough. Now we have people smuggling sick, poorly bred puppies in from Mexico:

Huddled together in car trunks, glove compartments, and underneath seats, thousands of unhealthy puppies each year are being smuggled into the United States from Mexico, animal control officers say.

Usually only a few weeks old, the tiny pups are sold for up to a thousand dollars each in shopping center parking lots and on street corners throughout California.

Stop it, people. Stop buying them.
