No.

“The pursuit of new markets epitomizes the Amish response to agricultural transition. This includes establishing greenhouses to grow ornamentals and retail garden plants. Pet rearing and the raising of game animals for hunting ranches are other cottage industries that have been successful in certain communities.”

So in other words, “puppy mills” and raising “wild” animals for the purpose of being shot at hunting ranches. Not to mention the overall poor treatment of animals.
