That is great news! I am thinking about e-mailing a local news station. Let us know how everything goes.

(If I decided to e-mail a news station, I am going to mention millbusters.com Maybe we cang et some publicity!)

What great work guys! Sillyjacki you go girl!

Tell them all the horrible things that go on, maybe before you know it, all this will be the starting block of things to come. I know that a lot of people do no have any clue as to where these poor puppies come from, and I'm sure as soon as the word gets out, there will be some mills that won't be here anymore, YIPEEE!...

I just e-mailed a local news station. I am also going to e-mail a second local news station. Thanks so much for inspiring me to do this!

Jacki,

This would be really important. Educating the public is the key. I think most people don't have an idea where the puppies in those stores come from.

I sent out about 20 emails today - Some to TV stations - I had 3 emails read so far - and ONE answered by Houston's KPRC a MAJOR top 3 station.

Thank you for your e-mail. I agree we need to help. I passed along your story idea to our executive producer and the assignment
desk.

I just got a reply from one of the local news stations that I e-mailed. All they said was:

Thank you for the information. It has been passed on to the news desk. Colleen Seitz

Hopefully they write a story on them. In my original e-mail, I directed them to several websites, including millbusters.com, to supply them with more information. I am still waiting on a reply from the other news station that I e-mailed. I hope they do a story on it! Thanks again for inspiring me! We need to improve public awareness!

sillyjacki · 07-26-2005, 11:07 AM

I'm so glad you guys are sending letters, too! I look at some of the stories on the news and think they're ridiculous... And here's a great chance for the news people to do something worth reporting. I think it's appealing to them to, because, sadly, there's a lot of drama and sadness... and we all know drama means high ratings.

You know what, whatever their reason is......I could care less! As long as they do a story about the horror of puppy mills, their ratings could triple and I'd be happy! Just as long as we get the word out. I think you're all awesome people!!

Kelz · 07-26-2005, 12:23 PM

Will they be interviewing you during the segment? Maybe yoy and your baby can wear a shirt or button from www.cafepress.com/millbusters

REALLY SHOW IT OFF! Show people where to go for more info!

This is great please let us know when they will be doing the segment, and what all took place!

sillyjacki · 07-26-2005, 12:55 PM

I don't know... I still haven't been able to get ahold of her, so once we get to talk I will find out.

Oh, by the way, which one do you think I should get/wear?

HeatherHamptons · 07-26-2005, 12:57 PM
