I am a bit triggered by calling them a "amish" puppy mills. why not just call them puppy mills. of course they are run by amish, but they are also run by humans. So even if 90% of them are run by a amish, that does not mean that 90% of Amish people are running puppy mills. Does using ethnicity in this case adds to the definition?
- theshrike79 4y agoI'd call it a probability definition. If you're buying a dog from Amish people are you more or less likely to get a puppy-mill dog compared to buying from non-Amish?
- bayesian_horse 4y agoYes, it adds to the definition. The Amish seem to have particular incentives to breed dogs, as far as I understand it, breeding dogs is for them a profitable low tech business. For other people it's much less commercially interesting, because you need the space, neighbors that don't complain, and some seclusion and privacy from animal welfare activists probably doesn't hurt either.
