| There are 2 sides to every story and regardless on whether we agree or disagree the Humane Society and PETA are getting public attention on the issue of puppy mills. Isn't this what we all want, to put a stop to puppy mills? |

| I think both sides should be heard. I think that Oprah should also do a show on PETA and even prehaps AKC. I am open to hearing it all. Deana Prestigeous Yorkies and 2 Maltese |

Then we can really know where the focus is needed and then the work to repair all of the problems can begin. Thats the only way to strive for betterment. Learning and working together and I have seen a lot of things I didn't know with Puppymills, PETA and also dog registries. So much more to learn I am sure Deana Prestigeous Yorkies and 2 Maltese | |

EXACTLY! The key to change is knowledge - we need BARE facts without all of the hidden agendas. When presenting information as fact, it would be prudent to include supporting evidence to qualify your post. Opinions should be noted as such to help eliminate confusion. | |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I hope people take the time to check out the link. One of the suggestions on ways we can make a difference is a downloadable letter that we could send to our local papers. http://www.stoppuppymills.org/docs/sampleletter.doc Feel free to send as is or change. Oprah did a great job in presenting this show; I think it's up to us to continue the education.

| I find the Humane Society's ten tips are very good and something we should all know and send to our friends to make them aware. We all have our opinions on PETA but this is not the place to express them~ |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | YorkieTalk is having an international convention, and someone might be interested in making ribbons for members to show support in banning puppymills. Here is a sample picture. This ribbon can also be used on your websites to show support. Here is the link for that. http://www.stoppuppymills.org/add_a_..._web_page.html
