Oprah Just Stuck Her Head Back In The Sand In Oprah's puppy mill update today she said they got contacted by several pet stores who said they do not get their puppies from mills. She went on to suggest asking and getting confirmation where the dogs come from if you buy at a pet store. C'mon the sheer volume of dogs available at any given time screams that they come from mills, besides the fact that no reputable breeder sells to pet stores. For an educated woman Oprah's denial of knowing puppy mills existed was laughable. The rest of her update consisted of her visiting a no kill shelter and donating to pay for a no cage room for rescues...how generous of her with all her billions :thumbdown I've lost some respect for her I must say. |
Oops I meant for this to go in the general section. |
That is really a shame. I wonder why she would do that? Buying from a petstore is NEVER a good thing. Surely she knows that? |
What a cop out! According to CAPS, 90% of all pet shop puppies are from puppy mills. CAPS - Companion Animal Protection Society - Home Page Shame on Oprah! |
I personally don't like Oprah's views. I think she is fake. That is just my personal opinion. |
Haven't seen any of the shows over here yet...but sounds SAD ! :( |

how stupid and disappointing |
I heard her today & just about choked -- she told people to really press their local pet stores about where the puppies come from - oh, yeah like they are going to admit the pups are from a puppy mill :mad::mad::thumbdown:thumbdown I have never been so disappointed with her -- she is like a politician -- she just plays to the masses & all her celebrity friends -- so called friends, a decade ago or more she didn't have all these celebrity friends & phoniness about her I thought that poor guy he bought the billboard that finally got her moving on the right track was probably about ready to come unglued |
That's a shame, but money does change people! I used to respect Oprah and now I think she has become an elitist and is out of touch with average American people! It's too bad because the message was so important but it wasn't delivered as well as it could have been!:( |

pet shops Okay, I will give on this one...100% of all the pet shops in the USA do not buy from millers...but 99% do, so Oprah heard from that ONE PERCENT..big deal! Oprah has to do damage control or face some law suits...good luck finding a pet shop who will allow you to talk to the breeder before buying... |
IMO she has done the same thing as she did after Katrina when she showed up in her plane with her entourage, cameras rolling, looked around and then left with her plane empty, refusing to take any people out. She has left the puppymill issue with her "plane empty". No, I\'m not an Oprah fan! |
i am not her fan either....when i heard her comment on pet stores i really gave up on her....her main concern is now not getting sued. she stinks just as much or more than before.:thumbdown tina |
