| Before you buy a puppy, watch this puppymill auction video Do you know about puppy mills? If you don't -- and even if you do -- then you've got to watch this undercover video: http://humanesociety.org/stoppuppymills Puppy mills are large scale operations that force breeder dogs to produce litter after litter to support consumer demand for puppies. Puppies sold in pet stores or through Internet sites come from places filled with suffering, disease, malnutrition, and loneliness. Even the puppies themselves are often prone to a variety of diseases. Some die within days or weeks of purchase. The Humane Society of the United States is working to stop puppy mills and they need your help. Please watch this short video that exposes the cruelty of puppy mill dog auctions. Then, you can take action by pledging to stop supporting the retailers that perpetuate cruel breeding practices. Click here: http://humanesociety.org/stoppuppymills If you want to take action and stop puppy mills then go to the website and click on the "WHAT YOU CAN DO" button and then click on "6. Lobby for Better Laws" and that will take you to a page where you can write a short message to your state representative and tell them you want puppy mills to stop and that is an important issue to you. Thanks for taking action and with your help in spreading the awareness puppy mills will soon be a thing of the past! |

I wish I had a website so I could do the same thing. You will be getting some good karma for that, more breeders need to post warnings of puppymills on their sites too. I more we talk about it, the sooner this will end. You know, I wish Paris Hilton or some one famous would get interested because I think that would make a huge difference. the only reason why puppy mills are thriving is because most people are not aware of them. | |

YT 500 Club Member | This is the saddest thing I have ever seen. I just want to go home and hug my puppy. What can we do? I am willing to put up time, money whatever it takes. There are so many of us on here I think that by getting together we can make a difference. Every dog deserves to be treated just like we all treat our dogs

I agree if all breeders put something up on their sites more and more people would see & learn when searching for their new puppy. | |

| Yes, just the ones that sell puppies. PetSmart and PetCo and other big franchises like that dont sell puppies that i know of. But if they did, you bet chya, I would boycott them. |
