I will not make inferences and attributions about the actions of all dog traffickers because the actions and motivations of dog traffickers vary from person to person. However, some dog dealers may starve dogs without giving them food, this may be because they want to control the dog's behavior and make them easier to manage, or because they want to make the dog more craving and dependent on the food they provide .
Additionally, some dog dealers may believe that starving dogs reduces their expenses because they do not have to buy enough of food to feed all the dogs. Whatever the cause, starving a dog is cruelty and can have a negative impact on their health and well-being.
