Please Help Me Stop Petland! (please read) Please read and take 5 minutes to help. Well, I was driving to my mom's for dinner tonight and was listening to a station in Chicago called WTMX the Mix (http://www.wtmx.com) around 630PM. I was thinking how cool it would be to take out an ad on the radio to inform the 1 million listeners about the horrors of puppymills. Well, guess what?... An ad for Petland came on the station! I wish I could have recorded it. It would have made all of you sick. Something about their expert puppy consultants matching the speaker up with the perfect Golden Retriever puppy for their daughter. Blah blah sunshine and rainbows. I HAD NEVER HEARD AN AD LIKE THIS BEFORE! Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to write to the marketing/advertising department letting them know how horrible Petland and its practices are. If you want, pretend you're from Chicago and you heard it. If not, just tell them how they need to discourage people from supporting puppymills instead of encouraging it. A good link to send them would be http://www.stoppuppymills.com or www.prisonersofgreed.org or nopuppymills.com This is very important. I never want to hear an ad for them again. Furthermore, I don't want anyone in Chicagoland to think that it is OK to shop at Petland. The radio station needs to be aware of the problem. Please take five minutes to send a short e-mail to these people in charge of advertising: Craig Volpe, Local Sales Manager cvolpe@wtmx.com Sara McMurray, Local Sales Manager smcmurray@wtmx.com Dave Karwowski, Marketing Director dpk@wtmx.com Every e-mail counts. I am writing mine now. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. |
going to work on it now. thanks for the info |
I'm a HUGE Petland hater after seeing them take a sick puppy and almost tossing it into the back room 7 years ago - Can I write from Texas or do you think I should just let you all handle it there ....cause anything to get Petland quiet is worth it to me ! |
Yes, Please write from Texas - and ANYWHERE!!! You can just lie and say you heard the commercial for yourself and you're from Chicago if you want. I don't care! I just want them to draw their attention to what they're doing. Thanks Villette! |
Mine are sent........ |
I just sent mine! |
I sent mine to all three too - since the links were sent - I did the outraged radio station listener.... Hi - I'm writing to you after looking up your station - I heard an ad on your radio station promoting Petland and I was shocked ! I wanted you to know they are the biggest buyers of Puppy Mill puppies where they mass breed. These dogs live in hell. Petland is the biggest buyers of these Puppy Mill Puppies. Petland often sells sick and dying puppies to customers that have no idea how to find a healthy puppy. If Petland were NOT allowed to sell dogs - then the mass breeding would slow down immensly. Petland has puppies shipped from all over the country - not caring how many die on the way - and the whole IDEA of selling puppies on the radio is disgusting. Animals need OUR help - If you LIKE the idea of dogs suffering and tortured in a puppy mill then I'm sure you'll delete this. If I could shut down one kind of store in our world - PETLAND would be it - they are evil people and your radio station is supporting puppy mills and mass breeding by advertising for them. I hate to sound like this - but you all need to watch where you get your money - You are actually increasing the Puppy Mill problem in this country by playing these ads. Thank you - Villette Houston, TX |
I sent mine and attached a picture of Stewie and me -- and my phone number. |
BUMP! PLEASE HELP! I truly think this would work if a few more people did it! |
I have other email addresses I can use - 3 of them - I'm fast at copying and pasting - just change up the words and they're good to go ...We can ALL do this - It only has to be a ONE LINE email - like "Quit Promoting Petland" ! or...If you continue to promote Petland on your station - I won't listen to you. |
Just sent those emails! Kristy, would you like to get our pups together sometime for a play date? I just moved to Chicago and Lexi & Ollie would love to find some play buddies :) |
i will write mine right away and attch pictures of poor sick little dogs to show them the result of puppy mills.i hope this helps. |
Yes, sometime after July 30th :) I am finishing up summer school by then and am swamped. I saw you PM'ed me but didn't want to reply until I knew for sure when I can meet up. Stewie says welcome to Second City ;) |
