No organization is ever going to have beliefs that are 100% in line with my beliefs or anyone else since we are all individuals with our own minds. I think it is important to support organizations who help the most in areas that are important to you personally and I think HSUS does a lot to educate on puppy mills.

Judy I have bought tee shirts for my daughter and I have a puppy mill bumper sticker on my car from HSUS but that is all I can lay claim to sadly. At one point my daughter and I were talking about ordering their informational brochures on puppy mills and asking if we could leave them at local vets' offices, groomers and places like that but I have to admit we didn't follow through. I still think it's a good idea but I don't know if it's the BEST way to spend $25. I'm hoping someone comes up with a fantastic idea and then I'll borrow it too.

I just want to do more than I'm doing. I can tell people every day, but I'm not sure how much of an impact that's having, and when we talk about it on YT, we're really preaching to the choir. The people who don't know about puppy mills are the people who aren't on YT.

And sure, borrow any ideas and run with them!
