| Yes! Even more exposure. (fight against puppy mills) I use to watch the news everyday when getting ready for work/school. It's been a while since I've sat down to watch the news, but today the first report was on puppy stores and puppy mills. Is it me or is there more and more talk about puppy mills?

| I think so, but still not enough! I can't believe some people still don't know. If Oprah did a show on it, wouldn't you think the whole world would know?

| Hey, if it takes a 3 min report on the news to get people thinking, I'm all for it.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Maybe we should start a letter campaign to Oprah! If we could get all the YTers on board, we might get her to do a show on it???

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I think we should try and see if she'd do it again! And maybe she can talk about dog auctions too.

| I am glad more people are talking about puppy mills. I hope that with more awareness about how awful the condition are for dogs at puppy mills will force laws to be change to benefit the animals. Maybe some people can create commercials or speak to people that make the laws about this important issue to help make a change. |

I did a speech in my college Oral Communications class and since I was so passionate about the issue, I did a really good job, and got an A+. There were about 30 other students in the class and 99% of them were blown away! I had sooo many questions at the end of my speech, people honestly just had NO idea. So hopefully, if even half of that class, will never buy a dog from a pet store again, I feel good that I did something. I would love to be able to do more and help out in any way I can! My professor told me I should've been a spokesperson for the ASPCA, lol, and I was very proud of my work on that speech.
