The CHANGE in Reproductive Morals.

Parent of the 1950s, probably feel that they had BETTER morals than the current era, but what they had was DIFFERENT morals.

In the 1950s, pre-marital sex was considered immoral. Keeping a bay born out of wedlock was shameful. But treating animals very badly was fine.

Parents of the 1950s might have looked at puppy mills (if they had had them back then) and said "So what, they are just dogs."

So long as the puppies were healthy, how the parent dogs were treated didn't matter.
