I've emailed all the tv stations in my area.....anyone is welcome to use this letter if you want to - you can just copy and paste it into an email ....and I DID get a response from a tv station with this letter...

To: WHO CAN HELP THE MOST - or forward to someone who can PLEASE !!

I am writing to suggest a segment/story about puppy mills. These are breeding factories with inhumane conditions and horrible cruelty in several forms. They exist everywhere in the United States. Typically, these mills breed puppies until the mothers die. They have little or no medical care and are housed in torture chambers until they are of no use anymore. the puppys are sold to Pet Stores but the breeding females and males remain in the mill.

I am NOT affiliated with PETA or any other group – I just love animals.

Normally, the puppies are sold at an unhealthily young age to pet stores. Many of these puppies are born with or develop life-threatening illnesses and many consumers are left without their pet due to the deplorable conditions of the mom during pregnancy.

I'd like you to consider covering this subject, as many people are unaware of the danger involved in supporting this evil industry. I also believe that, in doing so; you can showcase the sensitivity and caring nature of the employees of your station.

A group of people have started a new website called Millbusters and are dedicated to stopping this practice…. It’s the most inhumane treatment of animals and if you could take a minute to look at a puppy mill site –

or HERE
http://www.dachshund.org/puppymill_images.html …you’d be appalled at what you see.

Thank you for your time, and I'd love to help in any way possible. PLEASE …if you love animals and want to expose these people ….showcase a story on the EVILS of Puppy Mills...please.

Thank you.

THE ANSWER I received:

I would be very interested in doing a story. Tell me what your group does... and how you are trying to stop the practice. and if you suspect any places as being puppy mills... please let me know. I have a soft spot for animals and share your anger.

Sincerely,
Stephanie Guadian
