They have the ability to repackage products and wear costumes to make themselves look more legitimate.

They even do it with vegetables and other foods.

They'll even do it with puppies and kittens. Mass produce them in horrible conditions in their private communities then bring them into town and act like it was just a family pet that had a litter.

Yup, and the USDA told them to do it! The government promoted production dog breeding to farmers after WW2 as a “failure-proof” business after a number of disastrous crop failures in the midwestern US.

This actually helps explains to me part of why there are so many Amish breeders. So, thanks.

You're just going to take a random reddit comment as the truth? maybe it is, but there is 0 proof or evidence provided here

Thanks. I would've preferred an investigative report rather than a nonprofit's website article, but it's something.

There was a pet store in my town that sold puppies from an Amish mill. They would put the breeder's name on the info tag for each puppy, and most of them had the same German last name. Reputable breeders don't sell a dozen different breeds or mixed-breeds, but that family did.

100% I live near Amish Country in Ohio, and my grandma once had a job where one of her duties was removing the "Made in China" stickers from small wooden toys that were being sold as "Amish Made."
